AB Tasty has developed a Chrome add-on which enables you to carry out simple tasks on existing personalizations and tests, or to create new tests directly via the pages of your website without having to launch the AB Tasty web platform.

Download the AB Tasty add-on

The AB Tasty add-on is available in the Chrome web store at the following address: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ab-tasty/bdiahcebghgckgbgmjhdbecjkedpcidn,
Click Add to Chrome.
Download the add-on and confirm installation.
Once installation is complete, the add-on icon is displayed in the top right-hand corner of your browser.

The Chrome Add-on has been updated in the Chrome web store. If you are already using the add-on, you need to uninstall the old version and install the new one.

For more on this, refer to Update the AB Tasty Chrome Add-on.

Optimizing editor function

On some websites, JavaScript events and behaviors can be rewritten, which may prevent the AB Tasty variation editor from functioning as designed.
To enable the editor to function regardless of the technology used by a website, activate the Reset JS behaviors option.

When the option is checked, a script is injected before the page is fully loaded in the editor, and subsequently on all the pages for which the visitor launches the editor. This script enables you to list the changes made to JavaScript events on the page and to cancel them when the editor launches.

No other information is collected or communicated by the add-on.

To activate the option, apply the following steps:

Go to the desired web page,
Click the AB Tasty extension,
You do not need to be logged into AB Tasty for Web to inject the script.
Select Reset JS behaviors,
The script will now be injected into each new page loaded in the editor.

Passing the mouse over the option displays an information message.
Carry out the usual operations detailed below.

The add-on enables you to carry out the following operations:

Access your tests and personalizations and run common tasks such as launching the editor, previewing variations and accessing the report.
Check that the AB Tasty tag is present.
Inject the AB Tasty tag.
Check that the AB Tasty tag is up-to-date.
Update the AB Tasty tag.
Create A/B tests, multi-page tests and personalizations.
Create a test on a page that requires you to be logged in.
Check if tests are in progress on the page.
Delete AB Tasty cookies from the page.

Click the AB Tasty add-on,
Log in to AB Tasty for Web if necessary,
The list of previously created tests and personalizations is displayed, along with their status (started or paused),
Click an existing test or personalization to view or modify it,
Click the More tools button to create new tests or to manage the AB Tasty tag and cookies, as well as the tests applied to the current page.

Check that the tag is present

You can find out whether or not the AB Tasty tag is implemented on the current page. To do this, apply the following steps:

Go to the desired web page,
Click the AB Tasty add-on for Chrome,
Run your mouse over the icon at the bottom of the list to display the tag status,
If necessary, inject the tag onto the page.

	Tag present
	Tag not present

Inject the AB Tasty tag

If the AB Tasty tag has not been implemented on your website, you can still inject it temporarily onto the current page and make changes using the editor.

Click the More tools button, then Inject script,
Create your test,
The variation editor launches for the page and enables you to make changes.

Check that the AB Tasty tag is up-to-date

If the changes made using the editor don't appear on your website, it may be that the tag isn't up-to-date and doesn't include the most recent changes.

To check when the tag was last updated, apply the following steps:

Go to the desired web page,
Click the AB Tasty add-on for Chrome,
Run your mouse over the icon at the bottom of the list to display the tag status,
If necessary, update the tag.

Update the AB Tasty tag

The AB Tasty tag can be updated. If the changes made using the editor don't appear on your website, it may be necessary to update the tag in order to load the most recent changes. In this case, the update can be carried out via the add-on.

To update the tag via the add-on, apply the following steps:

Go to the desired web page,
Click More tools, then Update script.

A confirmation message is displayed at the bottom of the list.

Display page information

If the AB Tasty tag is implemented on your website, you can use the add-on to check if tests are in progress on the current page.

To do this,

Go to the desired web page,
Click More Tools, then Page information,

The list of tests in progress is displayed.
If necessary, click a test to display or modify it.

Create tests

Quickly create A/B tests, multi-page tests or personalizations related to the current page.

To do this:

Go to the desired web page,
Click More tools, then Add test,

The URL of the current page is taken into account automatically.
In the Name field, assign a label to your test.
Using the Type drop-down list, choose from A/B, Multi-page and Personalization,
The Select account field enables you to choose the account you want to use,
If you manage several accounts, enter the first letters to filter the list.
If necessary, select Save the source code,
Click Create,
The variation editor opens.

The Save the source code option

This option enables you to create a test on a web page that requires you to save user account login details or items in a cart, or that features dynamic content (AJAX website, for instance).

When you check the Save the source code box, the HTML code of the page is saved and the editor launches on the page featuring its specific information.

In the following example, on the https://tastyproducts.pswebshop.com/fr/order?ipa=0, website, the URL of the cart page remains the same, regardless of whether or not the cart contains items. Therefore, if this page is loaded in the editor based solely on the URL, there will be no items in the cart.

No items in cart

Item in cart

Using the Save the source code option when creating the test enables you to save the items in the cart.

Delete cookies

You can delete AB Tasty cookies (ABTasty and ABTastySession cookie) from the current page.

This enables you to delete information regarding the version of the test which a visitor sees.

To do this, apply the following steps:

Go to the desired web page,
Click More Tools, then Delete AB Tasty cookies

This feature can be useful when running a test through the QA process: you can make sure to be shown a different variation from the one previously shown.
