Role of A/B Testing Specially in Products

As we know software testing is a main part of any software or product. Without testing we can’t say product is completed, as testing plays very important role in the growth of any product. In this post we will discuss about A/B testing, lots of IT geeks are talking about this concept these days.

A/B testing isn’t a buzz term. A lot of savvy marketers and designs are using it right now to gain insight into visitor behavior and to increase conversion rate. At core, A/B testing exactly what it is sounds like. Suppose we have two versions of same product. We can say one version as A and other as B. To determine which version is better, we have to experimentation both versions simultaneously. At the end, we measure which version was more successful and will choose that version for real world use.

A/B testing is very helpful specially in products e.g we have a product and we want maximum registrations for that product then A/B testing can be valuable source to increase the number of registrations.

Internet is a place, where we can see lot of changes happening frequently. With the introduction of different languages, internet is not simple as it used to be. Now only the computers are not medium to access the web. There are various smart phones and tablets to access the websites too, as they almost work same as heavy computers.

So the demand of iPhone optimized websites is increasing day by day and this demand has brought a major change in web technology. The great example of old technologies been replace is flash. Nowadays many iPhone users have no access to browse flash websites. But in the past, flash websites were very popular due to its attractive style and look that would be impossible with normal HTML. The flash was great alternative to make different websites until the iPhone be launched.

At this stage there are only two solutions for this problem, either redesign the websites or change the iPhone’s operating system. But it is impossible to change the iPhone platform so web designers should find the another way.

Now many businesses are changing their base to HTML5. HTML5 provides same attractive and stylish look as flash but in a better way. Now you can develop graphic rich websites with the help of HTML5 and best part of HTML5 is that the websites are iPhone and iPad compatible. So according to today’s market demand, HTML5 is good source to develop websites.

Difference Between Software Development and Web Development

In IT field each and everybody is talking about software and web development. Few tech geeks are saying these are same terminologies and few of them are saying these are different from each other.

Lets start with software development, it is also known as software application development. Software development is a process of developing a product which includes programs, procedures and algorithms. Actually software is developed to help the user to perform specific task accurately and efficiently. e.g ProofHub has been developed by SDP Labs to make project management more easy.

On other hand web development means developing a website for world wide web. Website development only helps in increasing the visibility of the business among the potential customers.

The important thing to be noted is web development may not be a part of software development, but a software development may be a part of web development. The line of demarcation is when you need a web site to run on a software application, you are in a need of web development services and if you are looking for a software application to be run on a desktop computer, off the web, you are in need of software development services.
