A/B Test Setup

1️⃣ Purpose & Scope

Ensure every A/B test is valid, rigorous, and safe before a single line of code is written.

• Prevents "peeking"
• Enforces statistical power
• Blocks invalid hypotheses

---

2️⃣ Pre-Requisites

You must have:

• A clear user problem
• Access to an analytics source
• Roughly estimated traffic volume

Hypothesis Quality Checklist

A valid hypothesis includes:

• Observation or evidence
• Single, specific change
• Directional expectation
• Defined audience
• Measurable success criteria

---

3️⃣ Hypothesis Lock (Hard Gate)

Before designing variants or metrics, you MUST:

• Present the final hypothesis
• Specify:
  • Target audience
  • Primary metric
  • Expected direction of effect
  • Minimum Detectable Effect (MDE)

Ask explicitly:

“Is this the final hypothesis we are committing to for this test?”

Do NOT proceed until confirmed.

---

4️⃣ Assumptions & Validity Check (Mandatory)

Explicitly list assumptions about:

• Traffic stability
• User independence
• Metric reliability
• Randomization quality
• External factors (seasonality, campaigns, releases)

If assumptions are weak or violated:

• Warn the user
• Recommend delaying or redesigning the test

---

5️⃣ Test Type Selection

Choose the simplest valid test:

• A/B Test – single change, two variants
• A/B/n Test – multiple variants, higher traffic required
• Multivariate Test (MVT) – interaction effects, very high traffic
• Split URL Test – major structural changes

Default to A/B unless there is a clear reason otherwise.

---

6️⃣ Metrics Definition

Primary Metric (Mandatory)

• Single metric used to evaluate success
• Directly tied to the hypothesis
• Pre-defined and frozen before launch

Secondary Metrics
