People use “split testing” and “A\/B testing” interchangeably. Here’s the difference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In split testing, traffic is evenly split between the two existing variations. In contrast, A\/B refers to the two web pages or website variations competing against each other.
Split testing, like A\/B testing, can compare two completely different styles of design, web content, or evaluate small changes to a single website element (such as a different image, header, call to action, button color, signup form, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users are split into two groups: half will see the original version (the control or A), and the other half will see a new version (the variation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
