2. A/B Testing Best Practices
Avoid the most common mistakes when setting up an A/B test
A/B tests (aka Split tests) are the most used decision making tool for all product managers. You don’t need advanced knowledge of statistics in order to correctly set up a test (your analytics team does), but you do need to understand some important best practices.
Running A/B tests for an indefinite amount of time, not including a counter-metric in the test, and accidentally P-hacking your own results are examples of common mistakes that product managers make when dealing with A/B tests.
This chapter of the course gets you to avoid these most common mistakes so you can trust your test results.
