Understanding Test Duration

Sample Size Calculation: The calculator uses an industry-standard formula that accounts for both your baseline conversion rate and the minimum effect you want to detect.

Daily Traffic Split: The calculator assumes an equal 50/50 split of your daily traffic between the control and test variations.

Confidence Level: A higher confidence level (e.g., 99% vs. 95%) increases the required sample size. Industry standard is 95%.

Statistical Power: This calculator uses a fixed 80% power level, which is the standard for most A/B tests and balances the risk of false negatives.

Best Practices for A/B Testing

  • Run the full duration: Even if you see promising results early, run the test for the full recommended duration to ensure statistical validity.
  • Include full business cycles: Make sure your test duration includes full business cycles (e.g., weekdays and weekends) to account for traffic variations.
  • Test one change at a time: To clearly understand what impacts your conversion rate, test one element at a time.
  • Document everything: Keep detailed records of what you tested, why, and the results for future reference.
