# A/B Testing
A/B testing, phased rollouts, or other advanced use cases can be made easy by dynamically rendering different versions of a component.
Use the [`Component.on_render()`](../../reference/api/#django_components.Component.on_render) hook, to decide which version to render based on a component parameter (or a random choice).
![A/B Testing](./images/ab_testing.png)
## How it works
[`Component.on_render()`](../../reference/api/#django_components.Component.on_render) is called when the component is being rendered. This method can completely override the rendering process, so we can use it to render another component in its place.
```py
class OfferCard(Component):
...
def on_render(self, context, template):
# Pass all kwargs to the child component
kwargs_for_child = self.kwargs._asdict()
use_new = kwargs_for_child.pop("use_new_version")
# If version not specified, choose randomly
if use_new is None:
use_new = random.choice([True, False])
if use_new:
return OfferCardNew.render(context=context, kwargs=kwargs_for_child)
else:
return OfferCardOld.render(context=context, kwargs=kwargs_for_child)
```
In the example we render 3 versions of the `OfferCard` component:
- Variant that always shows an "old" version with `use_new_version=False`
- Variant that always shows a "new" version with `use_new_version=True`.
- Variant that randomly shows one or the other, omitting the `use_new_version` flag.
All extra parameters are passed through to the underlying components.
**Variant A (Old)**
```django
{% component "offer_card" use_new_version=False savings_percent=10 / %}
```
**Variant B (New)**
```django
{% component "offer_card" use_new_version=True savings_percent=25 / %}
```
**Variant C (Random)**
```django
{% component "offer_card" savings_percent=15 / %}
```
## Definition
```djc_py
--8<-- "docs/examples/ab_testing/component.py"
```
## Example
To see the component in action, you can set up a view and a URL pattern as shown below.
### `views.py`
```djc_py
--8<-- "docs/examples/ab_testing/page.py"
```
### `urls.py`
```python
from django.urls import path
from examples.pages.ab_testing import ABTestingPage
urlpatterns = [
path("examples/ab_testing", ABTestingPage.as_view(), name="ab_testing"),
]
```
