Have a hunch on how to improve your product's performance? With Candu, you can bring your ideas to life and create new product experiences, run experiments, and analyze the results without engaging your engineering team. 🙌

Intro to Experimentation & A/B Testing

Experimentation and A/B testing are the secret ingredients that drive successful product optimization. Rather than relying solely on gut feelings or educated guesses, product teams leverage these approaches to make well-informed decisions that lead to real, data-backed results.

What is Experimentation?

Experimentation is the strategic method of testing hypotheses to gather insights and validate assumptions. By setting up controlled experiments, you can accurately measure the impact of changes on critical performance metrics. This data-driven approach allows you to make confident choices, enabling continuous progress and innovation.

What is A/B Testing?

A/B testing, sometimes called split testing, is a specific type of experimentation that compares two or more variants (A and B) to determine the most effective option. By randomly presenting different versions to users and measuring their interactions, A/B testing reveals which variant drives more favorable outcomes, such as increased conversions or higher activation rates.

Adopting a culture of experimentation in your team is a great way to fuel iteration and innovation, keep you agile and adaptive, and ensure continuous progress toward achieving your goals. 🚀
