Ever had to choose between two feature ideas and wished you had a magic ball? The magic ball is A/B Testing.
For Product Managers, decision-making is a daily job. A/B testing offers a data-driven approach to make these choices objectively.
According to a CXL survey, 63% of marketers find A/B testing crucial for decision-making.
A survey by Invesp showed that companies utilizing A/B testing averaged an ROI of 223%.
Case Study: Microsoft
Microsoft tested its Bing search engine by showing 12 search results instead of 10. While it looked like a minor change, the A/B test revealed that the additional two results led to a significant drop in revenue. The feature was promptly discarded, saving the company millions.
Conducting A/B Testing
- Define Metrics: Whether it is user engagement or feature adoption, know what you are measuring.
- Create Variants: Make subtle changes in one version and keep the original as a control.
- Run and Monitor: Deploy both versions to similar audience groups.
- Analyze and Implement: Based on metrics, roll out the better-performing version.
- Pick the Right Tools: Google Analytics is trusted by 53% of all websites (W3Techs).
As a Product Manager, A/B testing offers you the clarity to make better product decisions without relying on gut feeling.
