what is multivariate testing

Multivariate Testing

Definition

The discipline of testing multiple combinations of page elements simultaneously to identify which combination yields the highest conversion rate. Because it compares a greater number of variables than A/B testing, multivariate testing can only lead to statistically significant results when you are already driving a lot of traffic.
