Is there nothing like this in the Rails world? I''ve been looking for a good testing framework for months, not finding anything, so I''ve just been building my own. This is what I want to do: - track arbitrary behaviors (e.g. photos viewed, comments posted) - track correlation between arbitrary variables and those behaviors (e.g, how do different versions of this prompt affect average photos viewed?) This kind of thing should be a core part of agile development. What''s out there? I know Google Website Optimizer is one of the answers, but it seems pretty limited and awkward compared to a Rails-based solution. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks for the link, Steve. It''s clarified what Website Optimizer is capable of a little bit, but it still doesn''t cover what I want to test. The problem is that it defines conversions as singular events. There doesn''t seem to be a way to test what I mentioned above. I develop Facebook apps, and one of the basic needs is to test how different factors affect the number of friends a user invites. I can''t do that just based on % who end up on some "success" page. Any ideas?
