Overview

A/B testing is a controlled experiment comparing two variants of an ad creative, landing page, or product experience to determine which drives better performance.

A/B Testing : Full Definition A/B testing (also called split testing) is a controlled experiment in which traffic or ad impressions are split between two variants, A (control) and B (test), to measure which produces superior results.

Only one variable should differ between variants to isolate the causal effect of that specific change.

In creative A/B testing, both ads receive equal budget allocation against the same audience, and performance is measured across identical conditions (same time period, same targeting, same placement).
