A/B testing and release coordination
Coordinate A/B tests with the release cycle — feature flags and deployment.
A/B tests validate features before full rollout. Poor coordination with the release cycle can expose an unvalidated variant to everyone — or block a launch that was already deployed.
Feature flags and release
The feature ships behind a flag — technically Published, but inactive for most users. The checklist distinguishes deployment from activation so teams do not conflate the two.
End of test and rollout
When the A/B wins, enable for everyone — update the changelog and communication. HyperRelease documents the initial release and the activation milestone.
Rolling back the test
If the A/B fails, disable the flag without a full rollback. Status and history stay coherent for support and engineering.
In summary
A/B testing and release are not opposites — they require explicit coordination.
