AB testing
AB testing is a statistical method of comparing two versions of a webpage or app against each other to determine which one performs better in terms of user engagement, conversion rates, or other relevant metrics. For example, a digital marketer may conduct an AB test to compare two different landing page designs and determine which one generates more leads. This method is widely used in digital marketing, web development, and user experience design.
Business analysis
Business analysis involves evaluating data, workflows, and technology to identify gaps and propose solutions that meet business objectives, usually in the form of new features, optimizations, or tech-stack changes.

It involves collecting data on competitors' products, marketing strategies, customer reviews, and other relevant information to identify gaps or opportunities in your own product offering.
Data analysis
The systematic process of applying statistical and logical techniques to evaluate, interpret, and visualize data to support decision-making or derive insights.

Economics of a project
The analysis and optimization of financial outcomes related to the pricing of products or services, the payback period of investments, and the return on investment (ROI).
