Firebase - how to create A/B test experiment for web app (not native app)

I'd like to A/B test a feature on our web app, which uses Firebase. When setting up the A/B test, I noticed that it's requiring me to select an "app" (I also have a native app), but I'm trying to target users that are using my web app.

One workaround I can think of is:

  • create a remote config boolean variable
  • add a condition to the variable for "user within random percentile"
  • fetch that remote config value when the web app loads
  • show/don't show feature based on the variable value

The downside of the workaround is that it won't track the Improvement or Experiment results, such as the following: enter image description here enter image description here

Is there a way to run a firebase A/B test experiment for a web app? (not native app)

What is AB testing in firebase?

It gives you the power to test changes to your app's UI, features, or engagement campaigns to see if they actually move the needle on your key metrics (like revenue and retention) before you roll them out widely.

How do you use firebase AB test?

Setting up the A/B test in the Firebase Console. Now that you have Remote Config enabled in your app, and you know how to retrieve values, you can start an experiment on Firebase. Head over to A/B Testing in the Console, and click on Create an experiment. Select a Remote Config experiment.
