Knowing up front whether a new feature will improve or worsen user experience can be a challenging decision. If we don't adopt the proper mechanisms and processes to test new features, we stand a high risk of introducing new bugs. By incorporating A/B testing into our feature release workflow, we can minimize these situations by testing the new feature with a small sample of users before deploying it.

In this post, we'll put this into practice by A/B testing a pricing feature on a demo Angular website. We'll track the performance of two variations to see which one attracts more clicks.

Feature flags have greatly simplified the process of continuously testing and integrating new features into our applications. They ensure confidence even in production environments, eliminating deployment risks such as downtimes or bugs that could adversely affect the entire user base.
