I've seen this requested before, where an organization wanted to put out two versions of an app to their user community (or, more accurately, route users randomly to one of two different versions/variants) and then use statistical analysis to determine which variation performs better for a given goal. The likes of Amazon do this all the time.

Since Appian does not support code branching (i.e. there is only one "trunk" of the code base at any one time in any given environment) this is of course a challenge!

The first questions, which comes to my mind was:
What is the use case for application versions?
Do you want to create a product based on appian?
