# frozen_string_literal: true

# == Experimentation
#
# Utility module for A/B testing experimental features. Define your experiments in the `EXPERIMENTS` constant.
# Experiment options:
# - environment (optional, defaults to enabled for development and GitLab.com)
# - tracking_category (optional, used to set the category when tracking an experiment event)
#
# The experiment is controlled by a Feature Flag (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/feature_flags/controls.html),
# which is named "#{experiment_key}_experiment_percentage" and *must* be set with a percentage and not be used for other purposes.
#
# To enable the experiment for 10% of the users:
#
# chatops: `/chatops run feature set experiment_key_experiment_percentage 10`
# console: `Feature.enable_percentage_of_time(:experiment_key_experiment_percentage, 10)`
#
# To disable the experiment:
#
# chatops: `/chatops run feature delete experiment_key_experiment_percentage`
# console: `Feature.remove(:experiment_key_experiment_percentage)`
#
# To check the current rollout percentage:
#
# chatops: `/chatops run feature get experiment_key_experiment_percentage`
# console: `Feature.get(:experiment_key_experiment_percentage).percentage_of_time_value`
#
