View source for Sync Perf and Screenshot Demo


== Sync Performance ==
Just a little proof of concept in hopes it can spark other tooling projects.

Problem: about:sync-tabs sometimes is blank. Why?

Solution: Let's use a Command Line sync client to fetch data, then graph it over time.

Detail:
* Use https://github.com/edmoz/fxa-sync-client 
** bin/sync-cli.js -e EMAILl -p <pw> -t fxa.test.acct@restmail.net
* run this on a jenkins instance at some interval
* Send total time to [https://www.firebase.com/ firebase] cloud data store so we don't have to install anything or write db code.
* create an html page that uses a library to fetch firebase json output.

== l10n screenshots ==
Problem: We translate into a lot of different languages.  Let's display them in a tableau or single view for quick verification.  It needs to be simple because I'm lazy.

Solution: Use phantom.js/slimer.js on jenkins
* phantom and slimer are headless (for the most part) implementations of webkit and gecko. Let's run simple script on jenkins and capture screen shots and output.

Details:
* sample script: https://github.com/edmoz/services-tools/blob/master/fxa-l18n/page-scrape/loadSignin.js
* run it on jenkins for each language - need to use xvfb for slimer since it needs virtual frame buffer
** It also prints out strings: [http://qa.stage.mozaws.net:8080/job/fxa.print-pages-phantom.dev/13/console jenkins console]
** http://qa.stage.mozaws.net:8080/view/fxa/job/fxa.print-pages-phantom.dev/configure
* copy screen shots to web server and a html page to display them:

** for extra credit, let's diff dev against prod servers using image magick: [http://qa.stage.mozaws.net/pub/fxa-phantom/dev-prod/201405211657/fxa-content-screens.html diff dev vs prod]
