ab testing for rails

SevenMinuteAbs

Ab testing is 7 minutes. Not 6, not 5, 7!

Tested in rails 2.3.2

Installation

go to your rails app directory

./script/plugin install git://github.com/paulmars/seven_minute_abs.git

Setup the database to store your info

ruby script/generate ab_migration rake db:migrate

Include Code

add these lines to these files

module ApplicationHelper include AbViewHelper end

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base include SevenMinuteAbs before_filter :ab_click_count end

Use it!

Test if orange or blue gets more clicks

"linkcolor" -> name of your test 2 -> number of different versions you have (else statement)

make sure to include 'test.stub' in any urls, otherwise clicks won't be counted!

<% ab_test("linkcolor", 2) do |test,version|%> <% if version == 0 %> <%= link_to "Blue version", url_for(:ab => test.stub), {:style => "color:blue"} %> <% elsif version == 1 %> <%= link_to "Orange version", url_for(:ab => test.stub), {:style => "color:orange"} %> <% end %> <% end %>

See Stats

A quick way to see your stats. You want the highest % possible to be your main choice!

<% Ab.find(:all).each do |ab| %>

      name: v: %
