خلاصه	A crossover A/B test is an experimental design in which the same participants or units are exposed to both treatment A and treatment B in sequence, with each serving as their own control. By eliminating between-subject variability, the design achieves higher statistical power than a standard parallel A/B test at the same sample size, but it requires careful handling of carryover effects and time-period confounds.	A factorial A/B test is a controlled online experiment that simultaneously manipulates two or more independent factors, each at two or more levels, exposing different user groups to every combination of factor levels. Rooted in Fisher's factorial design and operationalised at scale by tech companies, it enables researchers to estimate both the independent main effect of each factor and the interaction effects between factors — all from a single experimental run.
