Both during lockdowns and periods of restrictions, our smartphones have played a <strong>key role<\/strong> in allowing us to do at least some of our daily activities.

Each of these is presented with a different experience. The first, group A, also called &#8220;<strong>original<\/strong>&#8221; is shown, in fact, the original variant of what is tested. The second, the B, which is also called &#8220;<strong>variant<\/strong>&#8221; shows the modification that you want to experiment.<\/p>\n<p>The result is mathematical and <strong>always safe<\/strong>. There is always an answer, which is precisely why it is so loved by developers. You may have already noticed that companies with the most numbers on the web often conduct test-based analytics, such as Facebook, Google and Amazon.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;92642&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;729469&#8243;][vc_custom_heading separator=&#8221;yes&#8221; separator_color=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;154067&#8243;]Best Practices per gli A\/B test [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;171662&#8243;]We hope you did not think that conducting this type of test is child&#8217;s play &#8230; In order to be truthful and provide useful data, you need to follow specific rules and steps.<br \/>\nWe already tell you, then, that an A \/ B Test has a beginning but not an end. It is a cyclical process in which anything can be tested.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;186743&#8243;]<span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">1. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Research<\/span><\/span><br \/>\nFirst of all, to stand out on the dozens of competing applications you need to understand what is missing in the app store that could be useful to the user. Even aspects that are already present but can be improved can be an excellent starting point.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">2. Develop your hypothesis<\/span><br \/>\nWhat do you want to try to change in your product sheet and what results do you want to achieve? From the research done previously you have to define a variable that you think is worth testing.<br \/>\nOf course, every app is different and there are so many things that can be tested.<br \/>\nFrom our experience as app developers, we can advise you to focus on user onboarding, their retention, engagement rate and, for apps that feature transactions, every part of the funnel that leads to the final conversion. Some examples are the number of forms needed to register for an account, the frequency of push notifications, the text of the CTAs, new features and the placement of banners.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">3. Select your audience<\/span><br \/>\nWhat can your target audience be? You can carry out A \/ B Tests to define it or work on what you have already studied and selected. You have to divide the audience heterogeneously between the two groups (original \/ variant). We advise you to focus on two and not expand too much the various segments to avoid obtaining a result that is too approximate (P.S. if you divide the group into more than two segments the test would take the name of split test)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">4. Analyses<\/span><br \/>\nOnce the test is complete, you can study the results. Remember to always review anything that could affect your test.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">5. Implement the changes<\/span><br \/>\nHave you figured out what works best for your app? Then implement the changes and make them visible to all the public. Not convinced of your test? Try to deepen some aspects, to differentiate the groups more, to make some small changes on the variant &#8230; try to understand what went wrong and correct!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">6. Repeat<\/span><br \/>\nThat&#8217;s right &#8230; It is not certain that the change you have made will give you positive results forever. The A \/ B Test is a cyclical path. The time will surely come when you will have to take it all over again.

It would be a waste of time because it will not provide you with useful information and can hardly be a starting point. Still haven&#8217;t found a hypothesis? Keep looking and study your competitors well!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">Be open to surprises<\/span><br \/>\nHave they ever told you that the world is beautiful because it is varied? You will see that you will get results that you never expected. Do not think they are wrong, rather resigned to living in a way of bizarre people &#8230; or take other tests!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">Don&#8217;t shorten your tests<\/span><br \/>\nEven if it seems to you that these experiments do not give you the desired results, never shorten them, but always respect the end date that you had foreseen.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">Don&#8217;t change your tests<\/span><br \/>\nIf you change something in the current search, the data collected at the end may be confusing and you may not be able to trace which change produced the best result.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000;font-size: 13px;text-transform: uppercase;letter-spacing: 1px;font-weight: 500\">Try seasonally<\/span><br \/>\nWhat has gone wrong now may have different results in the future! We are always influenced by factors such as seasonality, moods, the historical moment, fashion etc &#8230; If you believe that an idea can be spent in the future, set it aside only momentarily![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;482375&#8243;]For web operators this type of experiment is really an ace in the hole to constantly respond to users&#8217; needs. <strong>Continuous optimization<\/strong> leads to ever greater results!<br \/>\nAlways set new standards of efficiency and usability on your digital products to always be one step ahead of your competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile apps are a somewhat difficult sector to deal with, if you feel you do not have all the necessary means to get into this system, rely on experts!<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is an A\/B test?
