FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

QuipTest
The multi armed bandit as a PHP Component (See this article for background)
Better testing than A/B testing!
Background
There is a fundemental flaw with standard A/B testing. The biggest thing is that tests are final. Compare A. Compare B. After 1000 tests A might be proven to be more successful with 300/500. B failed with 240/500.
You go with option A, and that is the end of the story.
Had you done 10,000 tests, the results might have been different. A fails 3,000/5,000 to B 3,500/5,000. And 6 months down the road, it might flop back to A.
QuipTest will let you plug in dynamic, evolving tests, to any part of your application.

Documentation
For a basic example of a working test, see the index.
Autoload
Be sure to include your composer autoload file, if you are not already, or your framework is not supporting it. Ideally you would put the autoload file in a place that cascades into all areas of your application that will require a component. (Composer)
Initation the test.
Get tag
This method has multiple functions. It increments the total number of tests run, as well as the total number of tests run for a specific tag. Use this method to flag your test, and track successes.
Flag test as successful
If a test is successful, make sure you mark it! QuipTests do not mark failures. Failures are assumed automatically when not marked successful.
Get stats
Example output:
array (size=2) 'cases' => array (size=3) 'cat' => array (size=2) 'tests_run_for_case' => string '41' (length=2) 'success_rate' => float 17.073170731707 'bird' => array (size=2) 'tests_run_for_case' => string '28' (length=2) 'success_rate' => float 10.714285714286 'dog' => array (size=2) 'tests_run_for_case' => string '62' (length=2) 'success_rate' => float 12.903225806452 'tests_performed' => string '131' (length=3)

Warning!!!
Chrome has a funny little bug, where if you do not reference your favicon directly, it pulls the page twice, which will lead to a potential double incrementation (failure!) on your test! If you have issues, add the favicon to your header in the html:
