About the reportA / B testing (born A / B testing, Split testing) is a research method, the essence of which is that the control group of elements is compared with a set of test groups in which one or several indicators were changed in order to find out which changes improve the target. An example is the study of the influence of the color scheme, the location and size of interface elements on the conversion site.

All changes on your service go through an experiment on users. You roll out only what shows a significant improvement in the target metric. Yes, you have a target metric. Yes, you all know about statistical significance - or, at least, heard about it.
So why is the target metric of your service today exactly at the same level as a year ago?
One of the possible answers is that errors have crept into the system for conducting experiments. The novel will tell about some typical problems faced by almost everyone who starts experimenting with users. In addition to specific problems, the report will concern indicators, following which one may notice that something has broken. If your project has A / B testing, then the results of the story you will probably want to make some improvements to it.
