I'm building a lightweight framework for A/B testing on sites.
It's like Optimizely except it weighs just 5kb, is self hosted and allows you to build and launch split tests from inside your IDE or via CD.
- rolfvandekrol 7y agoThat sounds fun. Do you have your work in progress already published somewhere?
- kingo55 7y agoWe are looking to open source in a month or two's time. I'll most definitely submit it to Hackernews at some point. But for now, I want to refine it so it's easy for others to pick up and use.
- vinitagr 7y agoHow do you build that. I mean, what goes into building an A/B Testing system. Does it involve a bunch of statistics and maths?
- kingo55 7y agoIt's surprisingly simple. Split testing tools are really just feature toggles with RNG and a little tracking. The stats and maths are mostly on the reporting side. We just rely on a bunch of Chi-squared hypothesis tests - that's about the hardest part to an A/B testing system.
