Hi,

I have a requirement to identify if the page is showing the test content (to find if A/b testing is running for current page). So, is the a way like particular cookie or code snippet to identify? Expecting some good solution to do that. :)

Thanks is Advance.

You can inject the ITestDataCookieHelper, you can then use this to work out which version of the test you are in

var allActiveTests = _testDataCookieHelper.Service.GetTestDataFromCookies();
var activeTest = allActiveTests.FirstOrDefault(x => x.TestId == testId);
if (activeTest != null)
{
	switch (Model.ViewingVersion)
	{
		case "Any":
			break;

		case "Control":

			break;

		case "Challenger":

			break;
	}
}

Hi Praful

You could do something like this:

bool anyActiveTests = IMarketingTestingWebRepository.GetActiveTestsByOriginalItemId(myPage.ContentGUID, "en").Any();

It tells you whether the page has any active tests, but it doesn't tell you whether you are right now viewing the page as a test.

I don't know if that comes close enough for you. If not, you will have to dig deeper (looking at the cookies and stuff).

Hey Guys thanks for the response.

@Stefan Holm Olsen Your solution worked, the only issue were with "en", I got this error

error CS1503: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'string' to 'System.Globalization.CultureInfo'

Even I got the hint and solved it. Actually I got the active test without passing that culture info (as I can ignore language based for my requirement).

Thanks for the solution.
