Tools for A/B Testing and Multivariate Testing

There are many tools available in the market that allow you to do A/B or Multivariate Testing on your webpages. The solutions offered are either hosted solutions or stand-alone products. The hosted solutions are more popular, because it is as simple as pasting a script on all the pages of your website. Almost all the solutions are priced based on the Page Views served during the test, and most of them offer a few days of trial for you to evaluate the capabilities.
