- NathanKP 15y agoSame here. I've been seeing the redesign for at least a week already. I wonder how I keep getting in test groups. It seems like every time a major site like Google or Amazon does a redesign I end up seeing the it way before everyone else. I wonder how these sites chose who to show the redesign to first as test cases?

- elangoc 15y agoIt's done randomly. They do a controlled test of a feature by turning the feature "on" for a window of time, and measure users' reactions in the control vs. experimental groups in real time. Experimental bias is minimized by the traffic being simultaneous, having a large sample size (visitors), and randomly deciding who gets put in which group.
