Split test recommendation widget recipes
In a Sitecore Discover recommendation widget, the recipe is the primary algorithm that generates results. Adding a rule only filters or alters those results.
Given the pivotal role that a recipe choice plays in the widget's performance, split testing recommendation widgets focuses on comparing recipe options.
To run this test you must have a recommendation with two variations so that the only difference between them is the assigned recipe.

-
In the Customer Engagement Console (CEC), on the menu bar, click Widgets.
