A/B testing/fa

A/B testing is a simple tool for determining whether a feature is preferred by users.

کاربران به دو گروه تقسیم می شوند. یک گروه ویژگی جدید را می بیند؛ گروه دیگر نسخه قدیمی را می بیند. Then you check to see whether the groups behave differently, e.g., if one group makes more edits than the other.

How to set it up

Instrumentation for an A/B test can be tricky, so ask for help.

Many A/B tests on public wikis are run for logged-in users only. Tests can be limited to users on certain wikis or with certain experience levels (e.g., only new Wikipedia editors). If you want to run an A/B test for logged-out users (IP users), then you should probably talk to the Wikimedia Performance Team first.

Most commonly, the two groups are identified by their user account id numbers. These numbers are essentially random.
