I recently saw that Optimizely released A/B Testing Package (EPiServer.Marketing.Testing) for dotnet core, meaning you can now install the A/B Testing Addon on CMS12

Install

For .NET 5 use

dotnet add package EPiServer.Marketing.Testing -v 3.0.0

For .NET 6 use

dotnet add package EPiServer.Marketing.Testing -v 3.1.0

Configure

But if you try running the site after the install, you might notice an error similar to this:

info: EPiServer.Framework.Initialization.InitializationEngine[0]
      Initialization started
fail: EPiServer.Framework.Initialization.InitializationEngine[0]
      Initialize action failed for 'Initialize on class EPiServer.Data.DataInitialization, EPiServer.Data, Version=12.4.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8fe83dea738b45b7'
      System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to resolve service for type 'EPiServer.Marketing.KPI.Dal.KpiDatabaseContext' while attempting to activate 'EPiServer.Marketing.KPI.Dal.BaseRepository'.

The easiest way to fix this is by adding the following in your Startup.cs file:

services.AddABTesting(_configuration.GetConnectionString("EPiServerDB"));

Once you do that the site should load as usual and when you make any changes to your content, under the publish menu you should see the A/B Testing entry in it’s usual location

PS: If you are missing the _configuration in your Startup.cs update the constructor to inject the dependency as follows:

public Startup(IWebHostEnvironment webHostingEnvironment,IConfiguration configuration)
{
    _webHostingEnvironment = webHostingEnvironment;
    _configuration = configuration;
}
