What this question tests

Practical experimentation experience, checking you understand test design fundamentals beyond just 'running A/B tests'.

How to approach it

  1. Pick two distinct examples, ideally testing different types of changes, such as a UI change and a pricing or messaging change.
  2. For each, state the hypothesis clearly, what you expected to happen and why, before describing the test itself.
  3. Describe the test design: how you defined the control and variant, what metric you used as the primary success measure, and the sample size or duration.
  4. State the result for each, including whether it was statistically significant, and be honest if a test was inconclusive or contradicted your hypothesis.
  5. Describe the decision made based on the result, showing the test actually informed action, not just observation.
  6. Mention any learning about test design itself, like a flawed metric choice or unexpected external factor, from either example.
