908700 - Make sure mozAfterPaint is used correctly within talos

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1254628

(Testing :: Talos, defect)

Description

[Avi Halachmi (:avih)]

AFAIK, using mozAfterPaint in talos is sort of a generic cure for cases where the first content paint comes (a while?) after the load event, so it represents the page-load time better as far as the user is concerned.

However, This doesn't necessarily apply to all talos tests, and especially not for tests which gather their own data points and then report an aggregation to talos.

This bug is about going over all talos tests, figure out which ones could benefit from mozAfterPaint, and make sure it's only used where it helps, maybe including changes to talos itself to allow higher-resolution usage of this flag (e.g. I think tsvg/x only needs it at some of the sub-tests).

it sounds like we are revisiting this bug right now in bug 1027481.  Should we dup this bug?

No, just depend.

This bug is for going over all tests, while bug 1027481 is for one of them. We can continue "phase 2" of bug 1027481 here, because I forgot this bug exists :) Thanks for findind it.
