How can engagement simulation improve test validity?

Engagement simulation makes seeds more representative:

The problem: Clean seed accounts lack engagement history. They do not reflect how your actual engaged subscribers experience your mail.

The solution: Simulate engagement by having seeds open, click, and occasionally reply to messages. Build artificial engagement history.

Caution: Provider detection of artificial engagement patterns is possible. Simulation must be realistic.

Limitation: Simulated engagement still differs from genuine user interest patterns.

Some testing services offer engagement simulation as a feature.

Train your observers to act like real merchants, not just passive watchers.
