Verify Changes Made to Your Test Variation on Live Website in Wingify

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

Create a Segment for Your Own IP Address

Wingify lets you create a segment for your own IP address to target the live campaign for yourself.

To create a custom segment:

1. Log in to your Wingify account.
2. Go to Web Experimentation > your test campaign.
3. Go to Configuration > Pages.
4. Click Targeting > Segments > Custom Segment.
5. From the first dropdown, select IP Address.
6. 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 with this query parameter appended.

For example, if the campaign is running on http://example.com, add abc as the query parameter, IS EQUAL TO as the operator, and the value as 1. Once done, you can view your live variation on http://example.com?abc=1.

Procedure

1. Log in to your Wingify account.
2. Go to Web Experimentation > your test campaign.
3. Go to Configuration > Pages.
4. Click Targeting > Segments > Custom Segment.
5. From the first dropdown, select Query Parameter.
6. From the second dropdown, select the operator as Is equal to and in the field next to it, enter the value.

Adding Cookie

Another way to target a campaign for yourself is by adding a random cookie and its value in the segmentation. You can create the cookie on the campaign URL using any cookie-related browser plugin and refresh the page. You can use the Edit Cookie Plugin by Google.

Procedure

1. Log in to your Wingify account.
2. Go to Web Experimentation > your test campaign.
3. Go to Configuration > Pages.
4. Click Targeting > Segments > Custom Segment.
5. From the first dropdown, select Cookie Value.
6. From the second dropdown, select the operator as Is equal to and in the field next to it, enter the value.
