The big test will be their ability to convince other European players to use their services &#8211; as A\/B testing becomes normalized, the risk will be that doing A\/B testing internally will also become the norm, as a core part of product development. For now, AB Tasty &amp; Optimizely both allow non-developers to use their service by integrating a snippet of code into their web page header, subsequently allowing them to\u00a0click &amp; edit directly from the AB Tasty page.\u00a0Clients can also opt for a more comprehensive integration, can determine what percentage of traffic they want to direct to the modified version of the page, and can\u00a0track key metrics (click through rate, user retention, etc.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A\/B testing solution AB Tasty has raised \u20ac1.1 Million from Xange &amp; Kima Ventures in order to take their A\/B Testing solution to Europe.\u00a0Launched in 2011, AB Tasty\u00a0currently employs 27 team members to cover the French tech market, working with eCommerce sites (CDiscount), telecom providers (Bouygues Telecom) &amp; retailers (But).
