Hello everyone 👋, I have a question related to namespaces. We want to launch two experiments in parallel that perform changes on the same part of the user flow. Because of this, we thought about using namespaces and having mutually exclusive user groups (suppose 0 to 0.5 and 0.5 to 1). Before going 100% down that route, I have a main question. One of the experiments will potentially finished earlier than the other one. In this case, if we roll out the winning variant for the first experiment: Will this change be roll out to the whole population (this is 100% of the Namespace) or just be roll out on the population considered in that first experiment (in this case it would mean a 50% of the total population)? Thanks in advance 🙏

hi Jimena, You are correct in the usage of Namespaces. If you go to 100% on one test - it depends on how you do this

Thanks Graham! 100% clear on the first point, the idea is to maintain the namespace as long as the other test is running at least. On the second part, Is a valid point the one you're raising. The issue is that we're launching some ui changes in parallel of a trial flow that will run specifically on some targeted users. Technically is happening on the same area but the changes implemented as well as the objective and expected impact are quite different from each other. In this sense, we might test both variants in a new experiment after they finished just to be on the safe side but we don't have concerns about both tests having negative interaction effects.

when both tests finish, you could deploy test 1 to 100% for all, and then start a new phase for test 2, incorporating the test 1 changes, to see if the results of test 2 continue when test 1 is applied

Good point, thank you for the suggestion!

Hey, I have a follow-up question on this. @ripe-tiger-2213 is in my team 🙌 Our setup: we have 2 tests • Test 1: Namespace 0-0.5 and the test only runs on platform A only • Test 2: Namespace 0.5-1 and the test runs on two platforms (A and B) My assumption here: 50% of the users on platform B are not taken into account. Is this correct? Can we include the users without splitting test 2 into 2 separate tests? Thank you for your help 🙏
