  • A/B testing

    A/B testing is a randomized experiment that compares two versions of a product or message to measure which one causes better results on a chosen metric.

  • Control group

    A control group is the set of units in an experiment that does not receive the tested change, providing the baseline for measuring its causal effect.

  • Multivariate testing

    Multivariate testing is an experimentation method that tests several page or product elements at once to measure each one and their interactions.

  • P-value

    A p-value is the probability of seeing results at least as extreme as those observed if the null hypothesis were true, used to judge experiment outcomes.

  • Randomization

    Randomization in experimentation assigns units to treatment or control by chance, so groups are comparable and outcome differences reflect the change.

  • Sample size

    Sample size in experimentation is the number of units each variant needs so an experiment can reliably detect an effect of a chosen size.

  • Treatment group

    A treatment group is the set of randomly assigned units in an experiment that receives the change being tested, compared against a control group.
