Multiparameter experiments, however, generate richer data than standard A/B tests, and automated t-tests alone are insufficient to analyze them well. We use PrePost in most of our A/B tests, so we have pre-experiment metric measurements readily available that we can use as covariates in our models. Springer New York, 2006. [17]

To make sure the reliability is high, there are various techniques to perform – the first of them being the control tests, which should have similar results when reproducing an experiment in similar conditions. Statistical reliability is crucial in order to ensure the precision and validity of the analysis.
