Next important part of the hypothesis is the result, which is nothing but the short term goals that the website needs to accomplish. Again to choose a precise goal, historical data can be of great use. One must always keep the predictions in the experimental region also known as scope of the hypothesis. An effective hypothesis will not only drive the testing strategy but also help in running the testing program more
