A modular, source-controlled split testing framework that lets you build, launch and analyse experiments via Git/CI.

It's comprised of 3 core modules e.g.:
- Mojito JS Delivery: Front-end library for running experiments on your site.
- Mojito Snowplow Storage: Data models & events for tracking experiments.
- Mojito R Analytics: Templatable RMarkdown experiment reports.
- Under 5kb minified & gzipped
- Define experiments with simple JS or YAML
- Self-hosted & git-controlled for familiar code review / merging
- Expressive trigger system & utilities
- Variant code (JS/CSS) minification & linting
- Track and handle JS errors caused by your variant code
Differentiating features between popular vendors' tools and Mojito out of the box:

Mojito consists of three components, which are often switched out in the course of Mint Metrics' client services:
- Delivery: Front-end libraries to reliably control which treatments users are exposed to. e.g. Mojito JS Delivery
- Storage: Data collection modules and data modelling steps to power your reports. e.g. Mojito Snowplow Storage
- Analytics: Tools to measure & report on the effects caused by your treatments. e.g. Mojito R Analytics
Get up and running quickly with the README files inside each section.
Using Mojito's CI tools, you can set up experiments in YAML & JS:
id: ex1
name: Example test 1
state: live
sampleRate: 0.75
trigger: trigger.js
recipes:
0:
name: Original
1:
name: Variant
js: variant.js
css: variant.css
Where trigger.js
activates the experiment when a condition is met and a callback to activate is fired:
function trigger(test) {
if (document.location.pathname === '/') test.activate();
}
Upon activation, the will include 75% of traffic (sampleRate: 0.75
) and split it 50-50 between "Original" and "Variant" groups.
For users assigned to the "Variant" group, we execute a) variant.js
and b) variant.css
files to transform the page through a a) JS function and b) CSS stylesheet respectively.
Run the Gulp pipeline to lint/test/publish your container.
- Install the necessary NPM packages:
npm install
- Build & publish your testing container:
gulp scripts-local && gulp publish
If you use our Snowplow/Redshift & R Analytics component for reporting, all your metrics can be reported on with a simple array of metrics.
wave_params <- list(
client_id = "mintmetrics",
wave_id = "ex1",
start_date = "2019-05-15 09:19:45",
stop_date = "2019-06-05 14:29:00",
time_grain = "hours",
subject = "usercookie",
recipes = c("Original", "Variant")
)
goalList <- list(
list(
title = "Transactions",
goal = "purchase",
operand = "="
),
list(
title = "Thankyou page views",
goal = "page_view /contact/thank-you%",
operand = "like"
)
)
goalList <- mojitoFullKnit(wave_params, goal_list = goalList)
For this experiment, we'll report on transactions and page views:
You don't exactly need Snowplow Analytics to use Mojito. You can also track experiments to wherever you like, via a custom storage adapter. E.g. To Google Tag Manager, Adobe etc.
You can even hook Mojito Delivery up to Google Optimize's reports for free.
Our Delivery JS library is a heavily modified fork of the excellent jamesyu/cohorts lib. Meanwhile we employ heavy use of the Snowplow Analytics event pipeline for our Storage component and RStudio/Knitr for our Analytics reports.
We would love to see PRs! We're able to assist if you hit any snags getting set up.
