Yes, a Null test really should be the first test you run if you're looking to get into A/B testing.

I wrote the current tool but it is actively being replaced. We chose to to roll our own since we'd have to do some work to integrate a third party tool into our database architecture and authentication system.

We do have other contained infrastructure that is written in some other languages like go and scala.
