Control Group
The group seeing the original version in a test.
In any experiment like an A/B test, the control group is the segment of users who are shown the original, unchanged version (the 'Control'). Their behavior is used as the benchmark to measure the impact of the changes shown to the other group(s) who see the 'Variation(s)'.
