This is a guest post written by Albert Sunwoo, Solutions Engineer at Segment. It is part one of a two-part series from Segment on how to integrate Segment and Optimizely to optimize customer experiences. Running successful experiments and personalization campaigns requires that you choose the right metrics and target the right audiences. Segment Connections helps teams […]
Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with Atlassian to launch a new integration between Optimizely and Jira Software that will enable development teams to move faster, mitigate launch risk, and measure the impact of every release. Every team can now go from shipping volume to focusing on value. As software development becomes […]
In a previous blog post, I announced the launch of Optimizely’s third Hack Reactor Scholarship and Internship program, and elaborated on why we continue to support it. Today, I’m thrilled to announce our three winners for 2018. We received more than 611 applications and interviewed eleven candidates. To everyone who applied: thank you. We are […]
This is part two of a series on Stats Accelerator. In the first part, we explained the when, why, and how of Stats Accelerator. In today’s installment we will discuss a major roadblock to successful productionization of bandits in the A/B testing context and how we eventually overcame it. This is a high-level overview. For […]
At Opticon last month, we launched a rebrand of Optimizely. As product designers, we knew we’d have to move quickly to roll out the new brand in our product to coincide with the big Opticon launch. But redesign projects are often complex, fraught with challenges, and take resources away from higher priorities such as designing […]

This content originally appeared on Medium. What is Stats Accelerator and why use it? When a customer sets up an A/B/n test using Optimizely, they choose what percentage of visitors (or samples) will be exposed to each of the test’s variations. This is the test’s traffic allocation. The traffic allocation stays the same, unless a customer manually changes […]
Why Product Experimentation? Before I joined Optimizely, I worked at Microsoft on what was once the world’s leading internet browser, Internet Explorer. For those of us who have forgotten about this great browser, here’s a screenshot: As an engineer, I was tasked to work with a product manager on developing an algorithm for determining the […]
If there was a glass ceiling for experimentation, it would be scalability and measurement. One of the key challenges for experimenters lies in developing a strategy that will enable them to scale their optimization program and create the right metrics to effectively measure its success. The most innovative of organizations have multiple teams testing, […]
