Summary
Integrate talos testing to measure with xperf and provide various page load techniques to measure code paths our users normally do.
Team
- Talos Developer: jmaher
- Platform Developer: taras, sdwilsh
- Talos Advisor: anode
Release Requirements
- turn on xperf (windows 7) for talos ts and tp4 tests
- modify pageloader to load pages with keypress or link clicking
- for tp4 (initially)
Next Steps
- get .etl file scraper for existing xperf tests
- start review process of xperf patch for talos
- make decisions on future xperf usage (replace current counter collection)
- make decisions on realistic tests to run this on
- make decisions on pageloader modifications
Open Issues
- what data to parse out of .etl file
- how to upload .etl files from talos test slaves
- where to put .etl files for referencing
- where/how to upload the test results we generate
Related Bugs & Dependencies
- bug 609111 - passed prototype stage, preparing releng machines, need to start reviews.
Goals/Use Cases
- provide useful non time based performance data to improve Firefox performance on Windows
Non-Goals
- rewriting talos for mac/linux.
- measuring user use cases (like clicking on menu's, bookmarks, etc...)
Other Documentation
- TODO: include links to xperf and related stuff
