  • Online Experimentation at Microsoft
    This is a public version of a Microsoft ThinkWeek paper that was recognized as top-30 in late 2009 Online Experimentation at Microsoft Ronny Kohavi Thomas Crook Roger Longbotham [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Brian Frasca Randy Henne Juan Lavista Ferres Tamir Melamed [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Controlled experiments, also called randomized experiments and A/B tests, have had a profound influence on multiple fields, including medicine, agriculture, manufacturing, and advertising. Through randomization and proper design, experiments allow establishing causality scientifically, which is why they are the gold standard in drug tests. In software development, multiple techniques are used to define product requirements; controlled experiments provide a valuable way to assess the impact of new features on customer behavior. At Microsoft, we have built the capability for running controlled experiments on web sites and services, thus enabling a more scientific approach to evaluating ideas at different stages of the planning process. In our previous papers, we did not have good examples of controlled experiments at Microsoft; now we do! The humbling results we share bring to question whether a-priori prioritization is as good as most people believe it is. The Experimentation Platform (ExP) was built to accelerate innovation through trustworthy experimentation. Along the way, we had to tackle both technical and cultural challenges and we provided software developers, program managers, and designers the benefit of an unbiased ear to listen to their customers and make data-driven decisions. A technical survey of the literature on controlled experiments was recently published by us in a journal (Kohavi, Longbotham, Sommerfield, & Henne, 2009).
