Have Your Cake and Eat It Too with A/B Testing

Capital One Wallet runs A/B tests with Firebase Remote Config and Swerve, reporting small wins like 5–10% higher push opt‑ins and an 8% lift in notification clicks after swapping text. The talk explains SDK initialization limits (push handling when app isn’t running), content hosting choices (embedded filenames vs URLs for images), Firebase’s Analytics/Remote Config disconnect and the workaround of sending variant IDs, and Swerve’s built‑in conversion vs engagement modes that enforce one‑time conversions and simplify QA and rollouts.
