A/B Testing - UI Updates
UI Updates:
- Update AB tests in progress dashboard
- Update AB tests analytics overview banner
- Update Ab tests analytics details page/card
- Update Editor Ab publish and analyze panel
Chi-squared Algorithm for A/B Testing:
- A Chi-Squared test is particularly well-suited for testing where outcomes are categorical in nature, such as clicks or conversions. It is also robust and doesn't require assumptions about the underlying distribution of data.
What is Chi-Squared?
- Chi-squared (χ²) is a statistical method used to determine the significance of differences between observed and expected frequencies in categorical data. In the context of Shogun’s A/B testing feature, it helps to ascertain whether the differences observed between two variants (A and B) of a webpage, advertisement, or any other element are statistically significant or simply due to chance.
Here's our guide for more information on Chi-squared Algorithm and A/B testing in Shogun:
🌐 Personalization - Returning vs. New Visitors

🌐 Personalization - Advanced Caching Toggle
- This is an addition to the Publish & Analyze panel to control the caching behaviour of Page Variants via a toggle.
