Should I test before or during Cyber Monday?

As an e-commerce manager preparing for Cyber Monday, I'm uncertain about the optimal timing for running discount tests. I want to maximize my conversion rates and understand whether pre-event testing or live testing during the high-traffic period will provide the most accurate insights. My primary concerns are minimizing potential revenue loss, gathering meaningful data, and ensuring our promotional strategy is as effective as possible during this critical sales period.
