An A/B testing tool is obviously a key part of any conversion rate optimization drive.
In recent times though there has been a definite shift in the way leaders, businesses and experts perceive optimization & experimentation.
The discipline of CRO is no longer restricted to only conversion rates. The sentiment is swaying towards:
- Customer Experience Optimization (CXO).
- Learning from smaller experiment wins in the short term to benefit in the long haul
- Leveraging testing to mitigate risks in decisions across web design, revenue generation, product development, and Ops. “Recruiting” experimentation champions not just in the C-suite but across the entire organization, and doing this in an organized way.
These shifts prove that even though experimentation & A/B testing are a rigorous science, the success of experiments largely rely on people and the extent to which a culture of experimentation is inculcated in them.
Do they obsess over a few lifts in the present or do they get the value of being truly experiment driven for robust decision-making and a more mature, sustainable business model?
How this is achieved is going to be unique to an organization and not defined by “tools”.
Hence A/B testing tools should first and foremost provide flexibility, reliability, and support.
These vendors too should have a culture of putting people (users) first over constant, forced price upgrades, the bureaucracy of gated pricing, and the tendency to tier important features like APl access, integrations, QA by exorbitantly priced anual plans.
