Testing Process

Research: Analytics review, heatmaps, session recordings Hypothesis: "If we [change], then [metric] will [increase/decrease]" Prioritize: Use ICE scoring (Impact, Confidence, Ease) Run Test: Split traffic 50/50, don't peek at results Analyze: Check statistical significance, segment by device Implement: Winner gets deployed, loser teaches lessons

Common Mistakes

Testing too many variables: Can't attribute results
Stopping early: False positives kill
Small sample sizes: Results aren't reliable
Ignoring segmentation: Winner for desktop might lose on mobile
No hypothesis: Fishing expeditions waste time
