when there is a new feature in development or a fix for a known performance regression, it is likely that talos is run on try server. Wouldn't it be great if we could see orange on try server if we suspect a regression? This is doable, and we can be smart about it to increase the certainty that this is a real regression. Of course there are many unique situations to think about, but it is something we can move forward on and maybe tighten the loop.

a few things to sort out: * how do we deal with improvements? * so we get all the tests in a suite ran? right now we don't * can we generate a return value to buildbot to retry the job? * we need to make this try only - possibly a flag via trychooser? * I require 3+ data points and remove an outlier- is that valid? This would be great to make a requirement for folks looking to land on beta/aurora. The danger there- do they really push to try for those branches and we only run pgo, that could be frustrating.

uploading my latest patch, this has been working great on try server. Here are some features (example: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=c794046975a4): * if geometric mean of values for test is outside the 7 days range auto retry * if we are re triggering a specific job, automatically capture sps profile * require 3 data points to post a sustained regression|improvement * job is retried automatically until we get to 3 data points (serially) * job is orange as either test-unexpected-fail (regression) or test-unexpected-pass (improvement) to drawn attention to the great work * we default to mozilla-central as the source of truth * this doesn't work with android, just desktop tests * this is hacked to only work on branches that match Try* * tested with all desktop tests/platforms, but not PGO or e10s That is a lot of stuff. Please weigh in on concerns with this and other things which we should be aware of.

Comment on attachment 8538511 [details] [diff] [review] turn talos orange when numbers are out of the ordinary (1.0) Review of attachment 8538511 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- The patch adds lots of unrelated general updates, features, and applies decisions which deserve explanations (such as 3 data points instead of 12 for regression detection). Also, it seemingly changes the concept of talos as a test numbers generator, and makes it reference historical data etc. This is a very big deviation from how the system works now. - Please divide the patch to few parts, including one which is the general unrelated changes. - Please describe how are the talos changes interacting with tree herder. - etc.

removing sps profiling, auto retries, etc. This adds a little bit of code to run_tests.py as well as some support functions in compare.py.

updated, we have support for android, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore (yay winter break contributors!)

Trying to overload "True" and "False" to mean regression or improvement is even more confusing that doing comparisons against ':)' and ':('.

Do we still want to do this? I would be inclined to drop this in favor of further improvements to the compare view in perfherder.

I think we should drop this for now. We can revisit it later, but the concept of making compare view more included into our normal work flow should solve issues:)
