Abstract

Techniques for conducting A/B experimentation of online content are described. According to various embodiments, a user specification of a metric being recorded as a result of an online A/B experiment of online content is received, the online A/B experiment being targeted at a segment of members of an online social networking service. Thereafter, a power value for the A/B experiment that is associated with the metric is calculated, the power value indicating an inferred ability to detect changes in a value of the metric during performance of the A/B experiment. The power value for the A/B experiment is then displayed via a user interface displayed on a client device.
