The December 2018 release of BuyerGenomics V5.7.0 is a major update, including features such as A/B Testing with automated rollout, and new campaign drop level reports in Campaign X-Ray.


A/B Test

This feature enables users to:

  • Set the test size for a 50/50 split test for 2 creative versions
  • Automatically evaluate the results and send emails to the rest of selected segment(s) using the winning creative version.


A/B Testing option switch is on “2. Choose Creative” screen under [ Add a Drop ], where:

  • If A/B split test switch is turned on (only available if “1. Select Target” step is completed), up to 2 creative versions can be chosen for the test.
  • With only 1 creative version, a user can still conduct an A/B test between 2 different subject lines.
  • [ Configure Test ] button shows up if A/B split test switch is on.

Test size can be set in 10% increment by moving through a slide scale. 

  • Selected test universe will be divided into 2 equal groups for 2 creative versions.
  • If 100% is selected, 2 creatives will be deployed in 2 drops. There will be no third drop for the winning creative in this case.


Winners are determined by one of the following:

  • Number of Opens
  • Number of Clicks
  • Click-through Rate (Default)
  • Number of Conversions


Test duration between 2-24 hours can be selected.

  • Default setting is 4 hours.


Scheduling screen remains the same, but “Schedule Later” option is disabled in the A/B Testing mode.

A/B Testing creates 3 drops automatically: 2 for A/B split for testing, and the third for non-test group with the winning creative.

  • If multiple segments are used in the target, then “each” segment will have 3 drops as described above.
  • These drops will appear on the New Campaign screen and Campaign Analytics.

Drop Report

Campaign X-Ray has a new tab to display each drop within a campaign.


This will be useful for campaigns with distinctly different drops, and A/B testing scenarios.


In addition to Segment, Creative, and Subject Line (in a full view), Drop ID (for easy identification of drops) and Drop Data/Time are displayed.
