Crea gruppi sperimentali

Dopo aver creato un esperimento, devi creare più gruppi sperimentali per fornire all'esperimento più informazioni su cosa stai testando.

Gruppi sperimentali

ExperimentArm rappresenta una parte del confronto che stai eseguendo per l'esperimento. Tutti gli esperimenti devono sempre avere esattamente un gruppo di controllo. Questo gruppo è una campagna esistente che costituisce la base di confronto con l'altro gruppo.

Gli altri gruppi sono chiamati gruppi sperimentali e in questi gruppi apporti modifiche alla campagna prima di iniziare l'esperimento.

Nota: al momento è previsto un limite di un gruppo di trattamento per esperimento.

ExperimentArm contiene anche l'impostazione traffic_split. In questo modo puoi specificare la percentuale di traffico indirizzata a ogni gruppo sperimentale. Ogni gruppo deve specificare una suddivisione del traffico e la somma dei valori di suddivisione del traffico in tutti i gruppi deve essere pari a 100.

A causa di questa limitazione alla suddivisione del traffico, tutti i gruppi sperimentali devono essere creati nella stessa richiesta.

Nota: non puoi utilizzare il fallimento parziale quando crei i gruppi sperimentali.

Ecco alcuni punti chiave dell'esempio riportato sopra:

• Il name di ogni gruppo deve essere univoco all'interno del Experiment.
• Il valore traffic_split deve essere pari a 100 in tutti i gruppi.

• Per almeno un braccio, control deve essere impostato su true; per tutti gli altri, deve essere impostato su false.

  Solo il gruppo di controllo specifica un array campaigns, che contiene una sola campagna.

Gruppi sperimentali

Una volta creati tutti i gruppi sperimentali, i gruppi di trattamento, ovvero quelli in cui control è impostato su false, compilano automaticamente il campo in_design_campaigns. Puoi recuperare il campo dalla risposta dell'API impostando il tipo di contenuto della risposta su MUTABLE_RESOURCE come nell'esempio di codice. Puoi anche recuperarlo tramite una query GoogleAdsService:

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

Suggerimento: potrebbe essere utile selezionare il campo experiment_arm.control per indicare i gruppi sperimentali. Poiché si tratta di un campo booleano obbligatorio, i valori false non vengono restituiti dall'API. Una risposta vuota è equivalente a false.

Campagne in fase di progettazione

Puoi trattare queste campagne in fase di progettazione come campagne normali. Apporta le modifiche che vuoi testare nell'esperimento a queste campagne. La campagna di controllo non sarà interessata. Una volta pianificato l'esperimento, queste modifiche vengono materializzate in una campagna reale che può pubblicare annunci.

Queste campagne in fase di progettazione sono tecnicamente bozze di campagne. Se vuoi trovarli in GoogleAdsService, aggiungi il parametro include_drafts=true alla query.

Prima di poter pianificare l'esperimento, è necessario apportare almeno una modifica alla campagna in fase di progettazione.
