Requirements

We need an end-to-end approach to front-end performance, from detection to reporting to resolution to regression-catching.

Detection and Reporting:

  • A new keyword for ui-responsiveness bugs?
  • Extension for reporting beachballing, script hangs?

Framework: We need a framework for front-end performance testing, that provides reliable measurements of the performance of UI actions.

  • integrates with Talos
  • tests need to run in full browser instance *or* in xpcshell
  • reports to Tinderbox
  • reports to graph server
    • need to graph individual test scores over time
  • New Graph Server (work on hold until this is done)
