Month 2025-11: Guardian/dotcom-rendering delivered a focused A/B Test Configuration and Management capability for Prebid.js v10 integration, consolidating testing, metrics collection, and experiment governance within the rendering pipeline. The effort introduced a new A/B test, a zero-audience disable mechanism, and refined expiration and audience sizing to enable safe, rapid experimentation. Key focus areas included creating a consolidated test config framework, enabling targeted testing with clear metrics, and ensuring tests can be disabled quickly by setting audience size to zero without code changes. The update aligns testing practices with business goals for data-driven optimization of Prebid.js v10 integration, while reducing risk during feature releases. This month’s work did not report additional major bugs fixed beyond the testing framework improvements. Tech/skills demonstrated include: A/B testing framework design, feature flag and experiment governance, audience sizing and expiration logic, metrics integration, and Prebid.js v10 integration in a modern JS/TS stack.
