A/B testing, often known as split testing, is when you compare two versions of a web page to find out which performs better. A/B testing involves showing the two variants, A and B, to similar visitors. The page that has a higher conversion rate is the one recommended for businesses. As companies realize how important A/B testing is for their business, more designers are incorporating tests into their analysis and design. There are many new A/B testing resources which can help you create a winning scenario for your clients.

The tests uses overlays, sticky bars and triggers to figure out when and why guests convert.
