Roundtable Podcast on Testing

March 10th, 2010 by Lars Johansson


As a huge fan, and active practitioner of, testing (A/B and multivariate), I decided it was time to record another podcast about the subject. I invited some of the people who I think have done a lot in this area and are working with continuous improvements online.

Some of the topics discussed in this podcast:

  • Where should someone new to testing begin?
  • Does method matter?
  • Is suboptimization a risk?
  • Can we trust the statistics behind tools?
  • What test result has been the most surprising?
