It enables data-driven decisions by measuring user engagement and conversion rates, facilitating continuous improvement and optimised user experiences.

- Analyse the results,
- Draw conclusion and implement changes,
- Share findings and iterate.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user engagement,
- Data-driven decision making,
- Reduced risk.
Limitations:
- Time and resource intensive,
- Limited by same size and statistical significance,
- Potential for misinterpretation.
