Configure your experiment's delivery

After you design your experiment, prepare it for testing and launch. Specify the evaluation mode and bucketing unit (if you haven't already), select the deployments that host this experiment, verify your variants, and identify the team members who participate in QA testing.

Members of your engineering team should oversee this stage of the experiment process.

If you're launching a feature flag and not an experiment, skip the experiment design steps. You still need to complete the process in this article.

To configure your experiment's delivery, follow these steps:

  1. In the Bucketing Options section on the Advanced tab, specify the evaluation mode for your experiment: Remote (Amplitude servers evaluate the experiment) or Local.

  2. In the advanced settings on the Targeting tab, specify the bucketing unit for this experiment.

    Set the bucketing unit to User in most cases. In some B2B use cases, use company ID or city instead. For example, bucketing by company ID gives all users in a company the same experience. Confirm that the Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption holds for the unit you choose.

    When you're ready, select Continue.

  3. On the Delivery tab, select the deployments to use for this experiment or flag. In Amplitude Experiment, a deployment serves a group of flags or experiments for code execution. To learn more about deployments, refer to configuring your experiment. After you select the deployments you need, select Continue.

  4. Verify your variants. Select Continue when you're ready.

  5. Add the user, device, or cohort IDs of your QA testers to confirm your implementation works. Add the IDs for each variant. Assign each tester to only one variant, as if Amplitude had bucketed them into your experiment.

    When you're done, select Save and Close.
