The A/B testing feature will let the developer choose different app icons, app descriptions and even different prices for different users.
“..developers would thus be able see how many more people download an app if it costs $1.99 versus $2.99; or if more people will download an app when its icon is blue-colored rather than red or when the video that offers a preview of the app is animated or live-action, for instance,” wrote Amir Efrati of The Information.
With ever increasing number of the apps on Google Play, it is increasingly becoming hard for the developers to stand out and any feature that helps them with this will certainly be welcomed.
The specifics of the feature are unclear at this point, but it is quite likely that Google will open A/B testing with select developers and if everything goes well, it will later be expanded to all.
To remind you, Google I/O 2015 is scheduled for May 28-29.
