A/B testing (also known as bucket testing or split-run testing) is a user experience research methodology. A/B tests consist of a randomized experiment with two variants, A and B. It includes application of statistical hypothesis testing or "two-sample hypothesis testing" as used in the field of statistics. A/B testing is a way to compare two versions of a single variable, typically by testing a subject's response to variant A against variant B, and determining which of the two variants is more effective.

'''A/B Testing''', also known as split testing, is a method used in controlled experiments to compare two versions of a variable, typically denoted as A and B. It is commonly employed in fields such as marketing, web design, and user experience research. By randomly assigning participants to either version A or B, researchers can assess which variant performs better based on predefined metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, or user engagement. A/B testing allows for data-driven decision-making by providing insights into the effectiveness of changes made to a product or service.

A/B Testing, also known as split testing, is a method used in controlled experiments to compare two versions of a variable, typically denoted as A and B. It is commonly employed in fields such as marketing, web design, and user experience research. By randomly assigning participants to either version A or B, researchers can assess which variant performs better based on predefined metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, or user engagement. A/B testing allows for data-driven decision-making by providing insights into the effectiveness of changes made to a product or service.
