427854 - Integrate the Leak Gauge Upload and Result Form into AMO

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Carsten Book [:Tomcat]]

Hi

currently we have for Extension Developers and Editors a Leak Gauge Upload & Result Form on http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/footprint/leak-gauge.html

We would like to have this on a AMO Page, so that Extension Devs and AMO Editors can use the Form also from an AMO Page.

Very nice would be when this would have a kind of indicator depend on Leak or Non-Leak Output when the Leak Log is processed. (see http://wiki.mozilla.org/QA:Home_Page:Firefox_3.0_TestPlan:Leaks:LeakTesting-How-To#The_Leak_Gauge_Leak_Log_File for an example).

There is no rush for this, but we would like to get this on AMO's Radar.

Nick, fligtar:  is this something we want to put in the dev hub?  It's just JS.

Basta - would this fit into the validator easily?

I don't think so. From what I understand, the script requires a period of data collection from a browsing session; we could emulate it on the server, but the add-on would need to be installed and a significant amount of time would need to pass for the test(s) to complete.

Perhaps it could be done using some type of Selenium integration, however, the data it would gather would not be available with the immediacy that the validator implementation currently requires.

Thanks for filing this.  In an effort to not drown in existing reports we're aggressively closing old enhancements and bugs to get the buglist to a reasonable level so we can scope and process bug sprints in an effective manner.

Patches for this bug are still welcome.
