Re: Experiences with A/B testing?

Hi Tomas,

   

     I do have some experience. I would advise you to look at http://www.optimizely.com as an alternative first. It's definitely easier to setup. Ofcourse coding backend to do A/B tests is always much more flexible at the expense of a lot of effort. So over the past year i've shifted to Optimizely, and it integrates with crazy egg/mixpanel etc as well. The product isn't perfect, but i've found it to be the least effort(keeping lean-ness in mind) and i code around the limitations of optimizely.

I have also been looking into A/B testing. Did you use any of the above you mentioned...? If so which one you would recommend?

Thanks

Hi everyone

I want to make some A/B testing. I've searched for how to do this with django, and I found some extensions:

• django-lean https://github.com/suckaplease/django-lean (seems discontinued)
• django-ab https://github.com/johnboxall/django-ab  (seems discontinued)
• waffle http://waffle.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
• gargoyle https://github.com/disqus/gargoyle
• splango https://github.com/shimon/Splango

Last three have active development, but they are for feature flipping (only?). Maybe mixing that with google analytics or something could work?

Anyone have some experiences with A/B testing?

Thanks in advance

A/B Testing is an universe of its own...

There is a saas called kiss metrics. Google offers a/b testing inside analytics.
If you want to improve your conversion funnel, you need to factor in the source of your traffic and segment it.

Taguchi Split Testing is another route.

If you just want to play around with features in your app go for waffle - if you want to improve the sales converstion
go for a hosted js based version.

My 2 cents
Frank
