Short answer
Multivariate testing (MVT) is an experiment that tests combinations of changes to several page or ad elements at once, such as headline, image and button, to find the best-performing combination. It reveals how elements interact, not just which single change works, but it requires substantially more traffic than a simple A/B test to reach reliable conclusions.
