A/B Testing
A/B Testing refers to controlled marketing experiments done to test different approaches to marketing campaigns. You’ll see it used most often in areas such as email marketing, with things like different headlines, or different offers. Or web design, where the copy and layout of a page will be tested in two different ways.
Within the experiment, you’ll split the audience who sees each, then monitor the results.
Using this method, you’re able to collect data on what approaches work best to get a desired outcome, such as email clicks, online purchases or newsletter subscriptions.

Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs provide a navigation trail for users on a website. If they’re in a particular sub-section of the website, breadcrumbs allow them to see how they got there and what previous, high-level topic pages they could view as well that link to their current page.
Having a clear breadcrumb structure for a website is important, since it relates to user experience and avoids confusing visitors to your site.
