What are the result vs action options for an AB test?
The result of a test can have little to do with what comes next. So it's important to separate the concepts of 'result' from 'action' so you can independently track how your program is doing related to 'win rate' vs 'action rate'. The goal is not to 'win' with tests, it's to make good decisions that effect change. Results Vs Actions Blueprint lets you report on the test you ran and their impact.
It lets you develop tags in your tests as results or actions coming from that test. This way, you’ll be able to calculate your win rate and testing agility.
The true power of this blueprint becomes apparent only down the line. Once you implement it, you can get the portfolio of your testing program. Over time, you’ll see the difference between substantial vs disruptive tests, their results, and actions made from results, all of which become powerful from a program perspective once you start to scale the number of tests.
Use Cases:
- Calculate 'win rates' vs 'action rates'.
- Look at the percentages of iterations vs what was shipped.
- Show how test results aren't connected to outcomes, changes, for a website for example.
- Measure the agility of your experimentation.
