Hi guys I think I have the ideas a bit confused about the A / B tests.  
  
I would like to send an email by making an A / B Test. So I prepare the two emails and set as 50% weight.  
  
My pool of users is 300. How many people do test A and how many test B before Mautic decides the winner and sends other emails?  
  
I did not find anything in the manual, I think.

Mautic only divides your targets according to the specified weight and sends out two portions. Currently, Mautic does not use a subset to evaluate the winner and send the rest according to it.
