  • Patent number: 11663117
    Abstract: A method of executing an A/B testing service comprises deploying an instance of the A/B testing service between a client device and an A/B testing server and receiving by the A/B testing service from the A/B testing server a software development kit (SDK) key for a client device, the SDK key indicating an A/B testing environment to be associated with the instance. The method further comprises, in response to receiving the SDK key: storing data associated with the A/B testing environment in memory of the client device; providing a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) application programming interface (API) associated with the instance of the A/B testing service to one or more applications associated with the A/B testing environment; and executing, by a processing device, commands between the client device and the one or more applications on behalf of the A/B testing environment.

  • Patent number: 11651047
    Abstract: A method includes providing, to a third-party content provider, code identifying a feature associated with digital content of the third-party content provider, wherein the identification comprises a feature variable placeholder associated with the feature. The method further includes receiving, by an experimentation platform, an indication of a first event type associated with the digital content, wherein the first event type identifies a first trackable action associated with the feature. The method further includes determining, by a processing device of the experimentation platform, that the first event type does not exist in a configuration associated with the feature; The method further includes, in response to the determining, generating the first event type in the configuration, generating and providing a graphical representation of the first event type for display in a user interface of the experimentation platform, and tracking the first event type on the experimentation platform.
