יצירת קבוצות ניסוי

אחרי שיוצרים ניסוי, צריך ליצור כמה זרועות ניסוי כדי לספק לניסוי מידע נוסף על מה בדיוק בודקים.

קבוצות ניסוי

הקמפיין ExperimentArm מייצג חלק אחד בהשוואה שאתם מבצעים בניסוי. לכל הניסויים חייבת להיות קבוצת בקרה אחת בדיוק. קבוצת הבקרה היא קמפיין קיים שמשמש כבסיס להשוואה עם קבוצת הניסוי.

קבוצות הניסוי האחרות נקראות קבוצות ניסוי, ובקבוצות האלה מבצעים שינויים בקמפיין לפני שמתחילים את הניסוי.

הכרטיסייה ExperimentArm מכילה גם את ההגדרה traffic_split. כך תוכלו לציין את אחוז התנועה שמופנה לכל קבוצת ניסוי. בכל קבוצת ניסוי צריך לציין את חלוקת התנועה, וסכום הערכים של חלוקת התנועה בכל קבוצות הניסוי צריך להיות 100.

בגלל ההגבלה הזו על חלוקת התנועה, צריך ליצור את כל קבוצות הניסוי באותה בקשה.

כמה נקודות חשובות לגבי הדוגמה שלמעלה:

  • הערך name של כל קבוצה צריך להיות ייחודי בתוך Experiment.
  • הסכום של traffic_split בכל קבוצות הניסוי חייב להיות 100.
  • בדיוק לקבוצה אחת צריך להיות הערך true של המאפיין control, ולכל שאר הקבוצות צריך להיות הערך false.

    רק בקבוצת הבקרה מצוין מערך campaigns, שמכיל רק קמפיין אחד.

קבוצות ניסוי

אחרי שיוצרים את כל קבוצות הניסוי, השדה in_design_campaigns של קבוצות הניסוי – הקבוצות שבהן הערך של control מוגדר כ-false – מתמלא באופן אוטומטי. אפשר לאחזר את השדה מתגובת ה-API על ידי הגדרת סוג התוכן של התגובה ל-MUTABLE_RESOURCE, כמו בדוגמת הקוד. אפשר גם לאחזר אותו באמצעות שאילתת GoogleAdsService:

SELECT experiment_arm.in_design_campaigns
FROM experiment_arm
WHERE experiment_arm.resource_name = "TREATMENT_ARM_RESOURCE_NAME"

קמפיינים בשלב פיתוח

אפשר להתייחס לקמפיינים האלה שנוצרו בתוך הכלי כאל קמפיינים רגילים. מבצעים בקמפיינים האלה את השינויים שרוצים לבדוק בניסוי. קמפיין הבקרה לא יושפע. אחרי שתתזמנו את הניסוי, השינויים האלה ייושמו בקמפיין אמיתי שיוכל להציג מודעות.

מבחינה טכנית, הקמפיינים האלה בשלב הפיתוח הם טיוטות של קמפיינים. אם רוצים למצוא אותם ב-GoogleAdsService, מוסיפים את הפרמטר include_drafts=trueלשאילתה.

כדי לתזמן את הניסוי, צריך לבצע לפחות שינוי אחד בקמפיין שנמצא בשלב התכנון.
