Scientist
A PHP experiment library inspired by Github's own Scientist.
Introduction
Scientist is an experimentation framework for PHP that will allow you to refactor and improve upon existing code in a live environment, without incurring risk or breakages.
Simply define an experiment, sit back, and let the results flow in.
<?php
// We need a Laboratory to do science.
$experiment = (new Scientist\Laboratory)
// Define an experiment with a name.
->experiment('experiment title')
// Set a callback containing our control code.
->control($controlCallback)
// Set a callback containing our trial code.
->trial('trial name', $trialCallback);
// Run the experiment, receiving the control return value.
$value = $experiment->run();
A more detailed description, and full documentation is available.
