1048443 - Add memory performance tests to Homescreen application

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Performance, defect, P1)

Description

[Wander Lairson Costa]

Add memory tests for Homescreen startup and memory spikes. For app startup, we could use startup events [1].

Memory spikes measures should occur during the whole life of the application.

Would it be possible to have a test that runs with no timeout and could just stream events until we stopped the test manually? More precisely, can we run make test-perf, the test runs and continues to capture events until we hit something like CTRL-C and that triggers the test to stop and output?

The problem is "hitting <ctrl>-C" and "automation" are mutually exclusive. Not sure what exactly you want to do. But we can discuss this.

Do we have any progress? Suggestion? Thanks.

It listed as a future fxos-automation project [1]. Apart that, no progress at all, afaik.

I don't really have a better solution to this right now, but maybe it would be possible within Raptor to capture the memory stats for an app at each performance marker instead of only a single visuallyLoaded marker. that may give some indication of whether memory spiked during startup.
