@brash-pillow-71627 how do I set up an A/A test with growthbook?

Setting up an A/A test in GrowthBook is similar to setting up an A/B test. Here are the steps you need to follow: 1. Create an experiment in GrowthBook. Ensure the "variations" are serving the same values. This is what makes it an A/A test, as both variations are identical. 2. Start your experiment just as you would any other experiment. Wait until it has been live for a few hours or days, depending on how much traffic you get, then take a look at the results. Here's a basic example of how you might set up your feature for the A/A test:
Copy code
javascript if (growthbook.feature("your-feature-name").on) {     // Variation   } else {     // Control   }
Remember to replace
"your-feature-name"
with the name of your feature. For more detailed instructions on setting up an A/B test (which you can follow for an A/A test), you can refer to the [GrowthBook documentation](https://docs.growthbook.io/faq#how-do-i-run-an-ab-test-in-growthbook). If you're new to GrowthBook, you might find it helpful to start with the [Quick Start Guide](https://docs.growthbook.io/quick-start) and the guide on [Setting up GrowthBook](https://docs.growthbook.io/guide/create-react-app-and-growthbook#2-set-up-growthbook). Remember, A/A tests are particularly useful when you've set up a new SDK connection or made changes to any part of the GrowthBook integration. They can help you validate that the experiment data is being sent correctly to your data warehouse.

@brash-pillow-71627 is that a boolean value type?

Yes, in the context of the example provided, the
.on
property of the
feature
method returns a boolean value. This property checks if the assigned value of the feature is "truthy" (i.e., it has a value that is considered true in a boolean context). Here's the relevant code snippet:
Copy code
javascript if (growthbook.feature("your-feature-name").on) {     // Variation   } else {     // Control   }
In this code,
growthbook.feature("your-feature-name").on
will return a boolean value. If the feature is "on" (truthy), it will return
true
, and the code within the first block (Variation) will be executed. If it's not "on" (falsy), it will return
false
, and the code within the else block (Control) will be executed. You can find more information about this in the [GrowthBook documentation](https://docs.growthbook.io/lib/java#using-features).
