We were using Adobe's Test and Target (Omniture) application for launching and measuring our tests. It works via code injection.
- dahart 7y agoYeah, that makes sense. The specifics of what you're doing certainly will drive what the implementation looks like. It makes sense that using Omniture for tests means that pure JS DOM manipulation is the best way forward. This detail is actually incredibly important to your story, and so I think it's easier than not to draw the wrong conclusion from the story because that important detail was left out. Omniture testing might be something a lot of candidates aren't exactly clamboring to spend their time doing. Certainly, with an A/B testing job I would be hoping and aspiring to learn more about things like site UX, maybe some data science, do HTML & JS that is relevant to the business team, and be involved in the production site's implementation and design, etc. I would personally be less excited about using an older legacy testing framework that requires low level DOM hacking, especially if it seemed separated from the core dev team. How do you implement the design that wins? Does the A/B test writer's version get put into production, or does someone else take the code injection and translate it into HTML?
