A/B test emails using auto-generated random sample lists in Spark edition

[Anonymous]

I am trying to A/B test our messages using auto-generated random sample lists within Marketo. 

On the Marketo website, it says it's avaliable on all versions of the http://cl.ly/image/1B2V3M302u0T



Then later on down the page, it says to do A/B testing, we need to have Standard or Select in order to access some of the advanced A/B testing features. 



Can anyone point me to A/B testing guidance for Spark users?

In the Standard edition, there is a specific A/B testing group that can be created, which you probably won't find in Spark.

To run A/B testing without this feature, set up random samples in static lists and then send to these lists.

This approach won't provide some of the OOTB reporting that you'd get with the A/B testing features.

Just to clarify- A/B testing for Emails uses the "Random Sample" filter which everyone has. The A/B test group you mentioned is only for landing pages.
