B tests easy. (original) (raw)

Django-google-optimize

Django-google-optimize is a Django application designed to make running Google Optimize A/B tests easy.

Here is a tutorial on the Google Optimize basics and how to use this Django application.

Installation

Install django-google-optimize with pip:

pip install django-google-optimize

Add the application to installed Django applications:

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... "django_google_optimize", ... ]

Add the middleware:

MIDDLEWARE = [ ... "django_google_optimize.middleware.google_optimize", ... ]

Getting started

Head over to the Django admin and add a new Google Optimize experiment. Add an experiment variant with the index 1 and the alias "new_design". Set the experiment cookie's active variant index to 1. Now the active variant index for that experiment is 1 which is the experiment variant with the alias "new_design" that you created.

Now you can access the experiment in templates by the experiment alias and the variant alias:

{% if request.google_optimize.redesign == "new_design" %} {% include "jobs/jobposting_list_new.html" %} {% else %} {% include "jobs/jobposting_list_old.html" %} {% endif %}
