• Hypothesis: A way to overcome the problem and get to success.
• One of the keys to effective testing is to test a hypothesis – to help us achieve an objective
• Using data and your experience / best-practice knowledge to determine what aspects might make a difference in achieving the objectives

Hypothesis: Allowing customers to skip the middle step would increase conversion to sale
2. Identify bottlenecks: Guidance
Observation: There is a lack of clarity of which fields are mandatory and what each field means.
Hypothesis: Guiding people through the form process will help increase conversion.
Test idea: Use ‘tooltip’ image and hover text to provide guidance as you fill out the form, rather than error messages after each submission

A good hypothesis is crucial to CRO,
otherwise you just test random stuff blindly.
The hypotheses you generate from insight
and research will result in a list of possible
solutions.
The solutions will form the basis of your test
plan.
3. Prioritise: Building the Testing plan
Map out testing priorities based on:• Business impact – how hard is it
to run this test?• Performance impact – how much
could this test improve performance?
Commit to what your measure of success will be
Commit to when you measure performance
Repeat tests to exclude any false results and plan when results will be rolled out and become BAU
Work out what assets are needed to run this test

A winning A/B test result is often just the beginning of the test’s value. There’s much more to gain from a smart analysis of the results.
What to take away
• Exploration is a better test approach than refinement
• Align your tests to your business goals
• Identifying your barriers is vitally important
• Observe, hypothesise and form ideas
• Ideas can have many sources
• Write a plan and expect it to change
• Testing partners make testing easier
• Dig deeper for learnings
• There are plenty of insights in failed tests
