1508399 - about:blank test should load 8 tabs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: AWSY, enhancement)

Description

[Eric Rahm [:erahm]]

The about:blank base case test -- SY(ab) -- should load the full amount of 'dom.ipc.processCount' tabs so that we're sure there's not a preallocated content process being measured.

r+ lgtm. I spun my wheels for a bit trying to test this until I realized that the mach interface can't run the base test. That would nice in the future I think.  Anyway, the marionette get_pref should be available in the setUp.

Since it's just a marionette test you can just specify the test file:

> ./mach awsy-test testing/awsy/awsy/test_base_memory_usage.py

To make sure it's behaving like automation you can specify a prefs file:

> ./mach awsy-test --preferences testing/awsy/conf/base-prefs.js testing/awsy/awsy/test_base_memory_usage.py
