Ever find yourself lost in aisle and bin numbers at an Ikea? Would it be easier to Venmo a co-worker via Slack? Want to send a selfie to the cloud? I’ve tried to solve some of these ‘problems’ while learning new technologies and educating developers. It’s always fun solving pain points by using an API […]
Optimizely gives us a strategic advantage when building and validating solutions for our clients. To date, we’ve used the platform to run hundreds and hundreds of tests. During this time, we’ve discovered that we can dramatically scale our strategic advantage by becoming more nuanced in how we craft and deploy Optimizely experiments.
Specifically, my Rocket Code colleagues and I have discovered eight core insights and workarounds that empower us to deliver some truly awesome e-commerce firepower. Collectively, these tips will help your Optimizely experiments run faster with fewer errors and more visibility into how users are interacting with the test variants.
