How has the use of A/B testing contributed to Amazon's success?

Amazon's success can be attributed in part to its use of A/B testing. This technique allows Amazon to divide test subjects into two groups and present each group with a different option. The performance of each option is then measured to determine which is more effective. Amazon has its own internal experimentation platform, called 'Weblab', which it uses to evaluate improvements. The company rewards those who analyze this data and identify new ways to enhance the customer experience.
