Startup Memory Consumption

Measures memory consumption of the application and b2g process after moz-app-loaded event.

Launch each of the following apps:

  • Browser
  • Calendar
  • Camera
  • Clock
  • Contacts
  • Dialer
  • Email
  • FM Radio

Common Setup

  1. Set up workload
  2. Restart B2G process
  3. Invoke launch programmatically
  4. Inject the Performance Helper
  5. App instrumentation throws timeline events at appropriate times
  6. Performance helper observes events
  7. After moz-app-loaded event grab memory usage parameters for the app and b2g process

Results

  • Result is the memory usage summary for app and b2g process.
