It's basically an analysis where two or more versions of a page are shown to the users instantly. They function naturally, not known to the testing, enabling you to know which works better for a given conversion objective. Well-developed A/B tests have been known to improve the conversion and increase it by 30%.

A/B Testing Ways

There are different types of A/B testing ways, the best of which are:

different types of A/B testing ways


1. APP STORE A/B TESTING 

As of not long ago, there was no alternative to directly A/B test in the App Store. Apple just did not permit it. However, there is currently another feature on Apple Search Ads that enables the programmer to test different videos and screenshots. 

The testing is limited to factors such as orientation (horizontal or vertical), screenshots, videos, and order.

2. GOOGLE PLAY A/B TESTING 

Testing on Google Play is very easy and any developer can do it. It should be done all the time and should be a part of your long term ASO methodology.

Within the Google Play console, you can test various parts of your store posting, while at the same time picking between a local test and a global test. The truth is out – Yes you can plan the audience percentage you would like to send every version to. The perfect part about it is that it is totally free.

For instance, my companion, Harry, and I are sitting in the same room and doing a test for the icon color. There is a potential that Harry will get a separate color icon than me. The amazing thing about it is that is occurring live inside the Google Play Store.

3. A/B TESTING WITH THIRD PARTIES 

Another alternative is using third party companies that have created a way of imitating the A/B testing procedure and may help you with the desired outcomes you need. These 3rd party companies create what we in the business like to call a “squeeze page". 

This is the page created between the app store page and the user. This page is unique to the app store page so your user feels that they have come to the application store page.

But, when the user plans to click 'install' on this page, they will be diverted to the app store page. This will make some grating in the user's install funnel, because of the fact that the user will be astounded that the app has not started to download. Rather, to click install again they will be redirected to the app store page.

It is not free and is also not the optimal way to A/B test as well. When performing an A/B test on iOS, you require to pay double - once for the A/B test itself, which may go up to a big amount just for a single test.

Final Thoughts 

To be reasonable, A/B testing on iOS app has an advantage over the Play Store because you will get more insights and knowledge into your tests from these 3rd party companies. 

Consider these A/B testing possibilities and finally, you’ve to decide which suits your app store page creatives. Let us know which one suits you the most in the comments below.
