Abstract

Variants of an application, such as user interface variants and/or logic variants, can be used in a production environment as part of a designed experiment. An experiment manager can cause the application to operate based on different variants for different users and/or instances of input data. Synchronous and/or asynchronous results can be collected that indicate impacts of the variants at the application and/or other downstream systems. Such asynchronous and/or synchronous results can be used to prove or disprove a hypothesis associated with the designed experiment.
