Buyer Persona (Customer Persona)
A Buyer Persona, or Customer Persona, is a hypothetical customer of your brand that is representative of a specific type of customer that your product or service appeals to. In creating a fictionalized version of these ideal customers, it allows companies to create ads and other content that is specifically targeted at these persona types, and is thus more likely to perform well.

A/B Testing
A/B Testing refers to controlled marketing experiments done to test different approaches to marketing campaigns. You’ll see it used most often in areas such as email marketing, with things like different headlines, or different offers. Or web design, where the copy and layout of a page will be tested in two different ways.
