What is Firebase A/B Testing?
Firebase A/B Testing helps developers optimize app experiences by running, analyzing and scaling product and marketing experiments, so that changes can be validated before they are rolled out widely.
Core Features
- Product testing with Remote Config to change the behavior and appearance of your app
- Messaging optimization by testing different marketing messages through notifications
- Safe feature rollouts to smaller user subsets before full deployment
- User targeting by criteria such as app version, platform, language or Analytics user properties
- Goal definition and measurement through Google Analytics
Typical Use Cases
UI and behavior changes: Two variants of an onboarding flow are delivered via Remote Config and compared against Analytics goals.
Notifications: Different push notification texts are tested through Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Low-risk rollouts: A new feature ships to a small group first and is enabled broadly only after a positive result.
Benefits
- Direct coupling to Remote Config, Cloud Messaging and In-App Messaging
- Evaluation based on existing Google Analytics metrics
- Targeting by technical and behavioral attributes
- Changes can be validated without an app store release
