NVIDIA Exam NCA-GENL Topic 7 Question 5 Discussion

A/B testing is a controlled experimentation method used to compare two versions of a system (e.g., two model variants) to determine which performs better based on a predefined metric (e.g., user engagement, accuracy). NVIDIA's documentation on model optimization and deployment, such as with Triton Inference Server, highlights A/B testing as a method to validate model improvements in real-world settings by comparing performance metrics statistically. For a recommendation system, A/B testing might compare click-through rates between two models. Option B is incorrect, as A/B testing focuses on outcomes, not designer commentary. Option C is misleading, as robustness is tested via other methods (e.g., stress testing). Option D is partially true but narrow, as A/B testing evaluates broader performance metrics, not just latency.
