A/B Testing Framework

Why this works
The minimum detectable effect and required sample size calculation is the most technically important element of an A/B testing framework — tests that run without statistical power planning are almost always underpowered and produce false conclusions. Building the winner declaration criteria before running a test (not after seeing results) prevents the common testing anti-pattern of 'peeking' at results and declaring a winner when the data looks good. Including a testing roadmap prioritisation framework prevents teams from testing random elements rather than the highest-impact variables.
Risks & review
A/B testing at low traffic volumes produces statistically unreliable results even when the framework is technically correct — before committing to an A/B testing programme, calculate the minimum traffic required to detect a meaningful effect size in a reasonable timeframe. Many SaaS companies don't have the traffic volume to run product tests with statistical validity and should focus on qualitative research (user interviews, session recordings) rather than underpowered quantitative testing.
