AB Testing

Description:
AB testing is a methodic approach to find out which version of the product is suited most for the project or might lead to higher conversions. Since both (or more) versions are compared to the similar sample of users, traffic value, etc., results of testing are great method to get a definite (and objective) answer if we cant decide which path to take.
