:mleclair/:kaya, could either of you provide the scripts for this test and any additional info we might need for this?

:sparky,
I think we can utilize a multiple background processes to handle this task. One process will run the test, i.e. typing into the url bar, doing some regular surfing etc, and the other one collecting the process information.

The ps command has cpu, c, time, %cpu values which are:

    # cpu: processor being used
    # c: total %CPU used since start
    # time: CPU time consumed
    # %cpu: percentage of CPU time used

Here's some scripts that run tests and collect process info simultaneously.

Attachment: Bug 1898229 - Add background resource usage tests for Fenix in CI. r?#perftest

This patch adds a new background CPU usage test that will run through mozperftest. The test starts the Fenix application, and then backgrounds it for 10 minutes to measure the CPU usage throughout that time. The hook is used to setup the xmlstarlet tool.

Depends on D212629
