ABSTRACT:
An automated system for experimentation includes an experiment engine which can define an experiment relating to various treatments for a set of content elements. The experiment engine conducts the experiment over a data network. An observation module collects observation data relating to user behavior for each treatment. A scripting/scheduling engine coordinates the operation of the experiment engine and the observation module.
