Nothing is OBVIOUS
Experimentation is the real ‘Moment of Truth’
and can, many times, SURPRISE us!

Reducing the clutter had unintended consequences

“I have not failed.
I've just found 10,000 ways that won't
work.”
― Thomas A. Edison
There is no such thing
as a ‘failed experiment’!
Every test offers insights which feed
into subsequent iterations
We tried to simplify the checkout pages by collapsing
optional fields

Let’s consider an A/B test for a banner
Variation A Variation B
Which variation is better? Do you say ‘B’?

Metric Variation A Variation B
Visits 1000 1000
Users 200 100

Users 10% 12%
Please Note: I have taken random numbers for convenience of explanation. These are not from any real test
Which variation is better? Is it that obvious?

Keeping your ears open to what
users are saying is often rewarding
Users were not sure about the payment options available
till they reached the payment page
Please note: the screenshots have been simplified for illustration and do not completely resemble the actual version
Simply adding this information on the cart page improved
cart conversion
Please note: the screenshots have been simplified for illustration and do not completely resemble the actual version
Competition has it; do we need it too?
Please note: the screenshots have been simplified for illustration and do not completely resemble the actual version
Every website is unique
‘Competitive Benchmarking’ trap - just because a
leading website has it, doesn’t mean it will work for you
We added merchandising banners in the masthead
Only to realise that not many users clicked on it
Don’t lean towards
‘your’ idea
Aim to ‘TEST' if the idea is effective;
not ‘PROVE' that the idea is effective

What is the best way to sort search results?
Please note: the screenshots have been simplified for illustration and do not completely resemble the actual version
Conversion improved but not for the reasons expected
Please note: the screenshots have been simplified for illustration and do not completely resemble the actual version
Did we implement this then?

Avoid ‘Testing Myopia’
