Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers about A/B testing and statistical significance

What is statistical significance in A/B testing?

Statistical significance helps determine if your test results are reliable and not due to random chance. A 95% confidence level means:
  • Only 5% chance the results are due to random variation
  • Strong evidence that the observed difference is real
  • Sufficient confidence to make business decisions
  • Standard threshold in most industries
However, don't rely solely on statistical significance - consider practical significance too.

How do I calculate required sample size?

Sample size depends on three key factors:
  • Baseline conversion rate (your current performance)
  • Minimum Detectable Effect (smallest meaningful improvement)
  • Statistical power (typically 80%) and confidence level (95%)
For example: With a 5% baseline conversion rate and wanting to detect a 20% relative improvement, you typically need 6,000+ visitors per variant.

What are common A/B testing mistakes?

Critical mistakes to avoid:
  • Stopping tests too early (peeking at results)
  • Not accounting for seasonality and external factors
  • Testing too many variables simultaneously
  • Ignoring segment-specific impacts
  • Not considering statistical power
  • Making permanent decisions on temporary results

How long should I run my A/B test?

Minimum test duration should account for:
  • At least 1-2 full business cycles (usually 2+ weeks)
  • Time to reach required sample size
  • Day-of-week effects on user behavior
  • Sufficient time for user learning curves
  • Impact on long-term metrics (retention, LTV)
Never stop a test early just because you see positive results.

What metrics should I track beyond conversion rate?

Consider these supporting metrics:
  • Revenue per user (RPU)
  • Average order value (AOV)
  • User engagement metrics
  • Loading performance impact
  • Cross-device behavior
  • Secondary conversion goals
A holistic approach prevents optimization for local maxima.

How do I interpret inconclusive results?

When results are inconclusive:
  • Check if sample size was sufficient
  • Analyze segment-level impacts
  • Look for learning opportunities in user behavior
  • Consider if the change was too subtle
  • Evaluate test implementation quality
  • Plan follow-up tests based on insights
Inconclusive tests still provide valuable insights for future optimization.
