A Java client for SeatGeek's Sixpack a/b testing framework: https://github.com/seatgeek/sixpack

Installing

Sixpack-java is currently only being deployed to maven snapshots, to use it, add the following dependency to your build.gradle:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.seatgeek:sixpack-java:0.4-SNAPSHOT'
}

or, if you're a maven user:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.seatgeek</groupId>
  <artifactId>sixpack-java</artifactId>
  <version>0.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Overview

The Sixpack client has some nomenclature to be familiar with...

A Sixpack server is the deployment of the Sixpack-server that will be hosting your test results
An experiment represents a single test in the Sixpack server. It can have multiple alternatives
An alternative is one potential result returned to the client when participating in an experiment
You start a test by participating in an experiment with alternatives
Once the server has selected an alternative for you, you can convert the experiment when the user performs the action that you're measuring

Getting Started

After installing...

The first thing to do is create a Sixpack client using the SixpackBuilder:

    Sixpack sixpack = new SixpackBuilder()
            .setSixpackUrl("http://api.mycompany.com/sixpack")
            .setClientId(user != null ? user.sixpackId : getCachedClientId())
            .build();

It is recommended that you maintain a singleton instance of Sixpack with the DI library of your choice.

Creating Experiments

Create a new experiment from your Sixpack instance:

    Experiment colorsExperiment = Sixpack.experiment()
            .withName("colors")
            .withAlternatives(
                new Alternative("control"),
                new Alternative("red"),
                new Alternative("green"),
                new Alternative("blue")
            )
            .build();

Participate in that new Experiment by calling participate()

    ParticipatingExperiment participatingExperiment = colorsExperiment.participate();

When the user performs the action measured in the test, convert the experiment
```
    participatingExperiment.convert();
```

Changed ActionBarActivity (deprecated) to AppCompatActivity

Looks nice project! I'm rooting for you.

Add synchronous API
I'm actually unsure if this replaces or is done in addition to the callbacks api that exists. But it would make working with an Rx API (such as the one proposed in #15) much more simple:

i.e.

new RxSixpack(sixpack).experiment("colors", "red", "blue").map(Experiment::participate).subscribe();

Add support for prefetch

Really handy for use on mobile is this (undocumented right now): https://github.com/seatgeek/sixpack/blob/master/sixpack/server.py#L132

Since the selection of the alternative is deterministic based on the client id, we can prefetch the selected alternative on the client so that participation doesn't block the ui, it can be done async in the background after the user starts participating.

Be explicit about the first alternative being the control

Currently, it's ambiguous that the first alternative passed in is the control alternative.

Also, consider dropping the Alternative wrapper. Type safety is nice but doesn't add a lot of value in this application.

Validate experiment/alternative names

From the clientspec:

Clients MUST validate the format of experiment and alternative names. Currently, valid experiment/alternative names are ones that match the following regex: ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9\-_ ]*$. This is enforced in the sixpack server, but duplicating this functionality in the client gives developers immediate feedback when creating tests.

Expand logging for different log levels
Currently, we offer several log levels, but that's only used to decide what level of Retrofit logging is selected. We should expand our logging for other things based on the current LogLevel.

Example items to log:

[x] warning when using default sixpack url

[x] creating new experiment

[x] starting participation

[x] converting

Convert without having to call participate

Please support the use case to convert an experiment without a call to participate

The use case is where I need to record the conversion in a separate system which doesn't know (and doesn't need to know the alternatives) just the experiment name and client_id. The HTTP conversion API method doesn't require the alternatives either.

Sixpack-java Rx bindings

Nice to have as part of the library, would be great to have Rx bindings for the sixpack-java api.

One idea is, ParticipatingExperiments can be exposed as Observables and have their values .cached() easily.

Also, the ability to have convert() be exposed as an Action1 for doOnNext() would be useful as well.
