fuzzymind··on A/B testing considered Bullshit
Author here: the title might seem like a clickbait, but we've seen it's accurate. Another option is "harmful". Correct answer is that it depends depending on how the testing tool is used:

1. If used correctly -> "harmful" (months of waiting without touching the site)

2. If not (like in most cases) -> "bullshit" (results are random)

fuzzymind··on Show HN: Volument – Our take on website analytics
The major difference between traditional A/B testing and Volument is that the comparisons are based on _cohort analysis_. It takes two groups of visitors and places them side-by-side starting from the very first visit: how they gradually build awareness and interest (metrics from the first visit) before taking action (on the first visit or on later visits). Then you take a cutoff day (say Day 7) and compare what has happened (how much retention, conversions, sales, virality) before that day. The whole "traction" so to speak.
