## Introduction

**A/B tests** measure how image variants affect **conversion**, but you need **one clear variable** and enough **traffic**.

## Hypothesis example

“White-background hero increases add-to-cart vs lifestyle hero.” Tools evolve—check current experimentation platforms’ docs.

## Metrics

Track CTR, add-to-cart, and revenue; segments differ. [Optimizely’s glossary](https://www.optimizely.com/optimization-glossary/ab-testing/) explains testing basics.
