1170536 - (nga-performance) Virtual list scrolling performance ref test

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

[Etienne Segonzac (:etienne)]

The toolkit component is still under development and lives in the dom-scheduler repo [1] for now.
But we already have a demo app running [2] to start experimenting.

We're facing 2 issues to reliably test the scrolling performance:
1. simulating a reproducible scrolling gesture (checked with QA marionette developers and between the marionette overhead and the APZ heuristics scrolling "flings" are apparently far from consistent in marionette tests)

2. detecting checkerboarding / missing content during scrolling

Looks like orangutan [3] might help with 1, which would give us a way to get reliable yet manual tests (already an improvement!)
And we still need to figure out 2 if we want something fully automated/raptorable :)
