Fail Faster – Website Testing
The Golden Rule of Testing




    “Get over your own opinions ….
     testing and validating opinions should be a way of life.”

                                   - Avinash Kaushik
                                     Analytics Evangelist, Google
                                     Advisor, ClickEquations




                           Alex Cohen | www.alexlcohen.com
2 Types of Website Testing


                 A/B                                            Multivariate


   Radical changes                              Multiple “factors” tested


   Fast and simple BUT                          Longer and more complicated BUT


   What caused the change?                      Lots more insight




                              Alex Cohen | www.alexlcohen.com
We’re Basically Asking 2 Questions



                                     Are there barriers to conversion?
                                           (If so, remove them)




       Is the page persuasive?
           (If not, make it so)
