A/B Testing
Stop making opinion-driven decisions
Experiments need a hypothesis
A/B Testing
Hypothesis
We believe that changing [the horizontal lines that’s now separating the
property's information to vertical lines so it separates one property from
the other] for [all users] will make them [more legible and easy to
understand their purpose and hierarchy of information].
We will know this when we see [effect(s)] happen to [metric(s)].
This will be good for customers, partners and our business because [it will
help people make a better decision based on their needs].
A/B Testing
Base
Variant
Making decisions
Did they use it the way you intended and did that help their
experience with booking their holiday?
Did you make the experience worse for them?
It didn’t make enough of a change to be conclusive.
