Understanding Experimentation in Digital Products
Experimentation in digital products involves testing hypotheses through controlled trials to validate changes in user experience. This process allows developers to modify the experience for a selected group of users while measuring the outcomes to determine effectiveness. Key metrics, such as retention rates, serve as proxies for user satisfaction since 'fun' is challenging to quantify. This scientific approach helps game developers make informed decisions about enhancing their products based on data rather than intuition.
