FITC 2013 – Day 3
23-Apr-13The science of effective software design
Demo regularly feature sets
Just enough software
Don’t make all your decisions upfront
Observe the actions if your users through logs and activities
Build > measure > learn cycle
People are horrible at describing what they need
We don’t need to get it right the first time… Is easy to iterate on the web
Make hypotheses not assumptions
Feature validation with small placeholder feedback buttons before actually building
Statistically significant
Validate assumptions
A/B testing and ramp ups
Online products or plugins for a/b testing
Google content experiments
Exposing features to a small group of users
Multi phase roll outs
Changes aren’t truly validated until they’re in production
Developers need to think differently about how to evolve a system in production
Quality needs to be baked in
“We can’t release because we are not done”
Product design process just change to accommodate experimentation
