Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

Over the past decade, the relationship between A/B testing practices and business performance has become a subject of considerable debate among scholars and industry practitioners alike, particularly within the context of Selected Commercial Banks in Nigeria where operating conditions differ markedly from more developed markets.

Within the context of Selected Commercial Banks in Nigeria, this relationship carries particular significance. Organizations in this setting operate under a distinct combination of economic, regulatory, and market conditions that may amplify or dampen the effect of A/B testing practices on business performance, making a context-specific inquiry both timely and necessary.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Despite a growing body of literature on A/B testing practices, there remains limited consensus on the precise nature of its relationship with business performance, particularly within Selected Commercial Banks in Nigeria. Many organizations continue to make decisions about A/B testing practices without a clear, evidence-based understanding of how those decisions ultimately affect business performance. This gap between practice and empirical understanding is the central problem this study seeks to address.
