Verifying Changes Made to Your Multivariate Test Variation on Live Website in VWO

If you wish to verify the implementation of your Multivariate test variations on the live site, you can use the segmentation option and target the live campaign to yourself. This can be done in the following ways:

Creating Segment For Your Own IP address

To target the live campaign for yourself, VWO lets you create a segment for your own IP address.

NOTE: IP address segmentation option is available only for Enterprise
customers.

Procedure

1. Login to your VWO account.
2. Go to TESTING > Multivariate.
3. From the Multivariate test dashboard, select a campaign from the ones previously created.
4. Go to SETTINGS > URL(s).
5. Expand the More Options section and select the Enable campaign for a specific visitor group option.
6. Here, go to the CUSTOM section, and from the first dropdown, select IP Address.
7. From the second dropdown, select the operator as Is equal to and in the field next to it, enter your IP address.

Creating Segment Using Query Parameters

You can also target a campaign for yourself by creating a segment using any random query parameter and then opening the campaign which has this query parameter appended. For example, if the campaign is running on http://example.com, then add “abc” as the query parameter, operator as “Is Equals To” and the value as 1. Once done, you can then check the URL http://example.com?abc=1. Here, the live variation must appear.
