7 Nguyen tac A/B test
1. Test 1 bien duy nhat
Quy tac cot loi. Neu test 2 bien cung luc → khong biet bien nao tac dong.
- XAU: Doi headline + doi CTA + doi anh → khong ket luan duoc
- TOT: Chi doi headline (A vs B), moi thu khac giu nguyen
Mot ngoai le duy nhat — test hook video. Hook va doan on-ramp 3-15s ngay sau no la mot cap khong tach roi: doi hook ma bung nguyen than video cu se lam dut mach va hold rate sup, khien ket qua vo nghia. Khi test hook, viet lai on-ramp cho khop tung hook va ghi bien test la "hook + on-ramp". Chi tiet: references/hook-formulas-vn.md.
2. Gia thuyet co the kiem dinh
Format: "Neu lam [X], metric [Y] se tang [Z%]"
- TOT: "Neu doi CTA tu 'Dang ky' sang 'Nhan tu van mien phi', conv rate tang 15%"
- XAU: "Copy moi tot hon" (khong cu the, khong do duoc)
3. Sample size du
Khong duoc dung test som.
- Toi thieu: 100 conversion moi variant (khong phai 100 visitor)
- Tot nhat: Tinh truoc (xem cong thuc ben duoi)
4. Thoi gian du
Test tung tuan tron (khong 3 ngay, khong 10 ngay) — khach mua hanh vi khac nhau cac ngay.
- Toi thieu: 7 ngay
- Nen co: 14 ngay
5. Khong peek som
Khong check ket qua moi gio. Dung ket qua cho den khi het thoi han + du sample.
- Peek som + stop som = false positive.
6. Significance > 95%
Chi tin khi p-value < 0.05. Neu khong: ngau nhien, khong phai do bien cua ban.
7. Documented
Ghi lai:
- Gia thuyet
- Ngay bat dau / ket thuc

Cong thuc tinh Sample Size
Khong muon tinh tay, hoac dang bi ket khong biet test gi tiep: doc
references/sample-size-va-y-tuong-test.md— co bang tra sample size da tinh san, loi thoat khi traffic qua thap, va ngan hang 70+ y tuong test kem gia thuyet theo tung be mat.
Cong thuc don gian
Sample size/variant = 16 × p × (1-p) / MDE² Trong do: p = Baseline conversion rate hien tai (vi du 0.02 = 2%) MDE = Minimum Detectable Effect (muc do thay doi toi thieu ban muon phat hien, vi du 0.2 = 20% tang)
Vi du
Landing page hien co conv rate 3%, muon phat hien thay doi 20%+:
- p = 0.03
- MDE = 0.2 × 0.03 = 0.006 (tuc tang tu 3% len 3.6%)
- Sample size = 16 × 0.03 × 0.97 / 0.006² = 12,933 visit/variant
=> Can 25,866 visit total, neu 500 visit/ngay → 52 ngay.
Landing page hien conv rate 10%, muon phat hien 20%+:
- p = 0.10
- MDE = 0.02 (tu 10% len 12%)
- Sample size = 16 × 0.10 × 0.90 / 0.02² = 3,600/variant
=> 7,200 visit total, 500/ngay → 14 ngay (kha thi).
Quy tac nhanh
| Traffic/ngay | Conv rate | Thoi gian can | Co nen test? |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 100 visit | Bat ky | 2+ thang | Khong — traffic thap |
| 100-500 | 2-5% | 3-6 tuan | Co, nhung kien nhan |
| 500-2K | 2-5% | 2-3 tuan | Co — ly tuong |
| 2K+ | Bat ky | 1-2 tuan | Co — nhanh |
Neu traffic thap (< 100/ngay) → khong test, thay vao do tap trung tang traffic truoc.
