| Resumo≠ | A Pilot A/B test is a small-scale, preliminary split-test experiment run before a full A/B test to assess feasibility, estimate effect sizes, detect operational problems, and validate measurement instruments. Participants are randomly assigned to a control condition (A) and a treatment condition (B), but the study is explicitly underpowered — its purpose is to inform the design of the definitive test, not to yield a conclusive comparison. | An Adaptive A/B test is an experimental design that dynamically reallocates traffic or participants toward better-performing variants during the experiment itself, rather than holding allocations fixed until the end. Drawing on multi-armed bandit algorithms such as Thompson Sampling or Upper Confidence Bound (UCB), it balances the exploration of uncertain variants with the exploitation of those already showing superior performance, typically yielding higher aggregate outcomes while still producing valid inferential conclusions. |
