Turning off A/B testing in a staging/qa/dev environment is a common requirement to ensure stability and reproducibility during testing. Hereโs a general guide on how to disable A/B testing for some popular platforms, including Growthbook.
Growthbook is designed with flexibility to enable or disable features like A/B testing easily. To turn off A/B testing in a staging environment, you can follow these steps:
1
Configuration
Access the Growthbook admin dashboard and navigate to the configuration settings.
2
Environment Settings
Identify the environment settings specific to your staging environment.
Feature Flags: Use feature flags to disable all experiments. You can create a specific feature flag that, when enabled, turns off all experiments in the staging environment.
Code Modification: In your application code, check the value of the feature flag before running any experiment logic.For example:
Copy
Ask AI
if (!growthbook.isFeatureEnabled("disableExperiments")) { // Run experiment logic}
3
Environment Settings
Save your changes and deploy them to the staging environment. Make sure your staging environment configuration does not pull production experiment configurations.
