One neat trick to run better experiments
This Chrome Extension automatically flags potential data quality issues on supported experimentation platforms.

What is Sample Ratio Mismatch? Why should we care?!
A Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM) test can be used to detect a wide variety of data quality issues (paper) (presentation) that may affect online experiments (aka A/B tests). Only expected proportions and observed sample counts are required as input for this procedure, so this test can be used even in cases where experimenters only have access to summary statistics; such as when using third-party tools.
For more information about Sample Ratio Mismatch please read the Frequently Asked Questions.
About the project

Platforms supported by this Chrome Extension
- Convert.com
- Omniconvert
- Optimizely
- SiteGainer/Symplify
- Visual Website Optimizer (VWO)

Several experimentation platforms natively perform Sample Ratio Mismatch checks for their users. These platforms will not be supported by our Chrome Extension, because that would be redundant. An incomplete overview of these platforms can be found here.
Known issues:
- Convert: Auto-stopping variants triggers false SRM alert (#29)
