A/B Testing extension for Joomla?

Question

We are seeking to start doing A/B testing on our Joomla websites. We are looking for either:

• a Joomla extension (commerical is ok)
• a third party service with a Joomla plugin.
• a recommended strategy for workaround

Additional Notes:

Yes, I checked the Joomla extention's directory and found one option with no reviews or updates for over a year -- not a huge confidence builder.

Yes, I read this question: http://goo.gl/qZhU4 which is asking a different question and resulted in different results.

We are running Joomla 2.5 and need a solution that will keep up with latest version(s)

Answer 1

Visual Website Optimizer has a Joomla plugin. You can see it at http://visualwebsiteoptimizer.com/split-testing-blog/ab-testing-joomla-plugin/

Answer 2

We've only tried a couple, the one on the JED and this one. I wasn't directly involved with the project, so can't tell you much else, but I'm sure they're adaptable if they aren't exactly what you need.

Answer 3

My company Polished Geek recently released two new Joomla! 2.5 plugins for A/B testing. They work with Convert.com Experiments toolset (http://www.convert.com/). There is both a general Joomla plugin and a VirtueMart 2 eCommerce specialized plugin that captures order and product information.

I hope you find these useful!

Just researching an answer for this question too and found a newer extension, "DM A/B Test" since these answers have been posted:
