The “monkey” form of this process was inspired by the idea that a monkey typing randomly will eventually write all of Shakespeare. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this process, whose “A/B” type involves showing different layouts to different users and whose “unit” type involves examining smaller pieces of code. This process identifies issues to debug.
