# See AbExperiment namespace for details of goals and variants # ################################################################################ ################################################################################ # # Checklist for creating a new feed experiment: # # - [ ] Create and/or reference the forem/forem issue with desired configuration # - [ ] Identify the winner for the past experiment by adding the `winner: # ` attribute to the past experiment. # - [ ] Set the past experiments `ended_at` to the new experiments started_at. # - [ ] Copy the previous experiment and prepend and rename to # `feed_strategy_starting_CCYYMMDD` # - [ ] Update the `started_at` to `CCYY-MM-DD` # - [ ] Assign the variants; the winner of the previous experiment SHOULD be in # this array. # - [ ] Remove the winner attribute from the newly copied # `feed_strategy_starting_CCYYMMDD` # - [ ] Assign weights and make the corresponding # `./config/feed-variants/*.json` files where * is the new named variants. # - [ ] Each newly named variant should have a description; typically briefly # explaining the difference between it and the winner of the last experiment. # - [ ] Run `bin/rspec spec/services/articles/feeds/variant_query_spec.rb` to # verify each newly added variant's SQL # - [ ] Submit a pull request and ping the Forem Core (in Slack) for a review. # ################################################################################ ################################################################################ experiments: # NOTE: Our feed strategy testing experiment must begin with "feed_strategy" feed_strategy_starting_20220801: # NOTE: Required as we want only want to consider for conversion events that # occurred on or after the given start_date. started_at: 2022-08-01 variants: -
