KEEPING EXPERIMENTS RELEVANT AND VALUABLE AT SCALE


When it’s 10 people in one room, debating and deciding on what experiments to run and why does that matter is, even if perhaps intense, a relatively fast and easy thing to do. The same goes for evaluating the test data and deciding on it. But what happens when you add 300 more people into the mix, when we run not 1 but 51 tests or more at any given time when we start experimenting with whole flows and not just a UI change? You suddenly get new “friends”: test conflicts, bad logging, no logging, data paradoxes, bad configurations, diluted results, a whole party. And this group of friends and my relationship with them is what I will cover in my talk.
