Hi, I’m developing a module for A/B split testing. The splitting is defined as: users\_split “${remote\_addr}AAA” $variant { 0.5% one; 2.0% two; - “”; } The question is: what is the better English name: users\_split user\_split clients\_split client\_split or something else ? – Igor S.

Hello Igor, > The question is: what is the better English name: > users\_split > user\_split > clients\_split > client\_split > or something else ? I would go with “split\_clients”, but “clients\_split” seems acceptable if you want to keep it within “clients\_” namespace. Best regards, Piotr S. \< removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid \> ---

Maybe something like “map\_split”? I believe it’s really similar to map module, and the only difference is mapping algorithm. Maxim D. ---

I believe “client\_split” would be better english rather than “user\_split”; when seeing “user” one would think of a system user, whereas “client” is preferrable as something which connects to a system (in this case a webserver). “split\_clients” would be even better - this dictates the block’s _intention_ rather than what it “is”, which would to mind easier when writing the block. Other things could be “split\_” also, in future modules: “split\_backends” for example. – _Phillip B Oldham_ ActivityHQ removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) * * * _Policies_ This e-mail and its attachments are intended for the above named recipient(s) only and may be confidential.
