Tóm tắt	A pragmatic A/B test is a randomized comparative experiment that evaluates two alternatives — a control (A) and a treatment (B) — under real-world operating conditions rather than tightly controlled laboratory settings. Rooted in the pragmatic-versus-explanatory trial distinction introduced by Schwartz and Lellouch in 1967 and brought to large-scale practice by online experimentation teams at Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, it prioritizes decision-relevant effectiveness over internal mechanistic explanation.	An A/B test is a randomized controlled experiment that simultaneously exposes two groups of users to a control variant (A) and a treatment variant (B) in order to determine whether a measured outcome differs significantly between them. The modern online controlled experiment framework was systematized by Ron Kohavi and colleagues at Microsoft in the early 2000s, building on R. A. Fisher's classical randomization principles from 1935. It is the dominant causal inference tool in web product development, digital marketing, and experimentation platforms.	A full factorial design is a parametric experimental method in which every combination of factor levels is tested simultaneously, enabling the estimation of all main effects and all interaction effects in a single study. Rooted in R. A. Fisher's foundational work on designed experiments (1926) and systematically developed by Box, Hunter, and Hunter (2005) and Montgomery (2017), the 2^k form tests k two-level factors across 2^k experimental runs and is the benchmark against which all other factorial designs are measured.
