📉 Clientside A/B testing library
Currently split.js uses Google Analytics as the datastore for experiments, this may be extended to handle multiple data stores in the future.
Put this file somewhere in your dependency path.
Basic Usage:
Split.setup(alternatives, options)
Split.js is useful for running different functions and measuring the results, you define the alternatives that you wish to test:
Split.setup({
'a': function(){
// usually the control test with no changes
},
'b': function(){
// change elements in the page,
}
});
When a user hits the page they will be randomly assigned one alternative and that function will be executed. A custom variable will be set in google analytics with the name of that alternative which you can then pivot your analytics data around.
There are a number of configurable options that can be parsed as an optional second argument:
Split.setup({
// functions
},{
cookieName: 'abTest',
cookieAge: 30,
customVariableName: 'AB Test alternative',
customVariableIndex: 1
});
-
Split.setupmust be loaded before Google analytics otherwise the custom variable will not be tracked, it may not work inside$(document).bind("ready", handler)or an async loader. -
You should also always provide a control test to measure your changes against.
-
You can provide as many alternatives as you like but sample size will be much lower and take longer to show real results.
