Summary
From this chapter, you should understand what is meant by the term experimentation. Here, we often deal with two distinct types of experiment to validate two different types of hypotheses: technical hypothesis and business hypothesis.
The technical hypothesis is often the first step in delivering a new feature to customers, followed by the business hypothesis, which offers innovative ideas to add value to the product and the business itself. We looked at why running experiments in production is the only place to gain the proof needed to support or discredit a business hypothesis. Being able to test in production is both safe and valuable when using feature management effectively. Testing in production in this manner poses a negligible risk when deploying code or releasing new features, and a good state can be restored quickly to the production environment if needed, offering a great opportunity to experiment.
In the final section of this chapter, we learned how to use...
