A false negative result would indicate that “the change being tested has not improved the key metric significantly when in fact, the change generally has a positive impact on the underlying behavior.”

A feature branch is a copy of the main codebase, where an individual or team of software developers work on a new feature until it …

False Discovery Rate (FDR) is a measure of accuracy when multiple hypotheses are being tested at once. Ex: multiple metrics measured in the same experiment.

Feature flag management is the process of, well, managing feature flags. While feature flags are extremely useful for many purposes, they require an organized process …

False positive rate (FPR) is a measure of accuracy for a test: be it a medical diagnostic test, a machine learning model, or something else. …

Ordinary software development is widespread with guesswork. Some amount of data, plus some amount of the product manager’s hunches, drives the decisions of what new …

A feature rollout plan is a process that allows the introduction of a set of new features to a group of your user base. A …

A feature flag, or feature toggle, is a software development tool used to safely activate or deactivate features for testing in production, gradual release, experimentation, and operations. 

The feature flags framework is a revolutionary method of software development that allows individual features of a software product to be individually enabled or disabled. Feature flags allow features to be centrally managed from outside of the application, meaning they can even be turned on and off after they’ve already been rolled out to end users.

DevOps is a software development philosophy that combines the Agile development approach focusing on rapid delivery with a collaborative effort between the development and operations staff. This collaboration is key to creating a more efficient and adaptive product lifecycle, and formalizes the increased role that operations teams play in the service-focused landscape of today.

Feature toggles, also known as feature flags, are components of software development that allow specific features of an application to be activated or deactivated at will. This allows developers to safely “toggle” new features on or off for testing. Feature toggles have many uses beyond just testing, such as the targeted release of new features, experimentation, operations, or activation of premium features.
