Parent is basically describing A/B testing, so seems solid enough. It does seem to presume a fairly simple functionality, though, it probably won't work well if each version takes you five months to build.
- Bartweiss 8y agoA/B testing should generally be done within an app, though. If your app already calls home to a server, you can collect usage stats and send feature flags for A/B testing. If it doesn't, you probably have to run your tests on in-person groups. The parent here proposes releasing multiple versions of an app and seeing which ones get downloads, which seems much harder and riskier - you end up splitting downloads across multiple apps, and then have to deprecate or maintain the ones that don't work out well.
- learnstats2 8y agoRealistically, I suspect multiple new apps are unlikely to get enough users for there to be value in A/B testing.
