Many startups concentrate on their UX efforts through (hopefully) running a series of targeted A/B tests to move beyond the “what” metrics to figuring the “why”. Very few use comparative data sets during this period and even less figure out that these A/B test methods are long and ineffective.

A new method emerging is one of automated testing or simply using current data and user interactions to build out a UX. A great example is the Huffington Post, which does a form of crowd-sourced A/B testing in real-time to determine how their users want to receive headlines.

There are more and more code libraries for integrating this method into your core product such as phpab and A/Bingo.
