Another challenge, related more to implementation than theory, is having too many experiments running in parallel.

As a company grows there will be multiple experiments running in parallel executed by different teams. The underlying assumption is that they are independent, but it is not necessarily true or at least not entirely correct. For example a graphics change on the main page together with a change in the login logic.

Obviously this can be solved by communication, for example documenting running experiments, but like many other aspects in AB testing there is a lot of guesswork and gut feeling involved.




A better solve is E2E or unit tests to make sure A/B segments aren't conflicting. At the enterprise level there's simply too many teams testing too much to keep track of it in, say, a spreadsheet.
