Evaluate Optimal Jogging Routes Feature with A/B Testing
GoogleData Scientist · Technical ScreenLast updated
Evaluates A/B test design for Google Maps jogging route recommendations. Strong answers define jogging intent and exposure, measure completed runs and satisfaction, include safety and privacy guardrails, and specify randomization, MDE, power, logging, and rollout criteria.
Scenario
Google Maps plans a feature that recommends optimal jogging routes.
Question
How would you evaluate whether this idea is valuable for users and the business? Design an experiment for launch: success metrics, triggering logic, unit of randomization, guardrails, and minimum detectable effect (MDE).
Hints
Define primary KPI (e.g., completed jogs), secondary metrics, power assumptions, and how to log route-recommendation events.
