Covariates
Covariates are variables that are not the primary focus of a study, but are measured and controlled for in order to reduce the impact of confounding factors. In the context of A/B testing on web and mobile, covariates can include demographic information such as age, gender, and location, as well as behavioral data such as past purchase history or engagement with the website or app.

| Increased accuracy of results |
Covariates can help control for factors that may influence the outcome of the test, such as differences in user behavior or preferences. This can lead to more accurate results and better insights into the effectiveness of the tested changes. |

| Increased complexity of analysis |
Controlling for covariates can increase the complexity of the analysis, as it requires additional statistical methods to account for the effects of these variables. This can make the analysis more time-consuming and resource-intensive. |

| Improved understanding of user behavior |
By collecting and analyzing covariate data, businesses can gain a better understanding of their users and their behavior. This can inform future A/B testing strategies and help optimize the user experience. |
