Course overview

A/B Testing Certification by Udacity will deal with the design and analysis of A/B tests that are also known as split tests. These online experiments are used to examine potential improvements that can be made to a website or mobile application. In this test, two versions of a website are shown to different users - usually the former being the existing website and the latter being a potential change. Then, the results are comparatively analysed to determine whether the change is worth implementing. 

This is a much necessary aspect of web or app development and A/B Testing certification syllabus will cover how to choose and characterise metrics to evaluate experiments, how to analyse the results by drawing valid conclusions, how to design an experiment with enough statistical power and ultimately how to ensure that the participants of such experiments are adequately protected.

The course is offered by subject experts in a self-paced platform with interactive quizzes and projects so that learners with a tight schedule can take up the course easily and stay engaged. This online training programme is supported by Google which adds up to its credibility and quality of content being provided.

How it helps

A/B testing or split testing is abundantly used by companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Netflix, eBay/Paypal and many others to decide which changes are worth launching on their platforms-no wonder why they are emerging as tech giants. Designing good A/B tests and drawing valid conclusions requires knowledge of this domain and can be difficult. 

It is near to impossible to measure exactly what a developer would want to know so they must find good proxies. They also need sanity checks to make sure an experimental setup isn't flawed. A variety of statistical techniques should be deployed to make sure the results are not by chance but are genuine. 

A/B Testing Certification online course will guide learners through this entire process. A/B Testing benefits are such that the learner will be ready to help small or large businesses make crucial decisions that could significantly affect their future as a website or app.
