================================
Service Worker Performance Tests
================================
Our performance tests are mochitests running in the `mozperftest
<https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/perfdocs/mozperftest.html>`_
harness. Tests reside under `dom/serviceworkers/test/performance
<https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/serviceworkers/test/performance>`_,
itemized in perftest.toml. Beyond the standard mochitest machinery,
performance tests define a ``perfMetadata`` variable at the top level, and call:
``info("perfMetrics", JSON.stringify(metrics));``
to report their results, where *metrics* is a map from testpoint name to scalar
numeric value. See the `performance scripts documentation
<https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/perfdocs/writing.html#mochitest>`_
for more.
They can be run via mach perftest, or as normal mochitests via mach test.
(Currently we cant run the full manifest, see `bug 1865852
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1865852>`_.)
Adding new tests
================
Add files to `perftest.toml
<https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/serviceworkers/test/performance/perftest.toml>`_
as usual for mochitests.
Modify linux.yml, macosx.yml, and windows11.yml under `taskcluster/kinds/perftest
<https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/taskcluster/kinds/perftest>`_.
Currently, each test needs to be added individually to the run command (`here
<https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/91cc8848427fdbbeb324e6ca56a0d08d32d3c308/taskcluster/ci/perftest/linux.yml#121-149>`_,
for example). kind.yml can be ignoredit provides some defaults.
Add your new test to `perfdocs/config.yml
<https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/python/mozperftest/perfdocs/config.yml>`_.
Modify the generated documentation using:
``$ ./mach lint -l perfdocs . --fix --warnings --outgoing``
There's currently a `bug <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1872613>`_
which will likely cause the command to fail. Running it a second time should
succeed.
Profiler Markers
================
Profiler markers can be used to collect timing data. Markers of known name can be inspected from the perftest. AUTO_PROFILER_MARKER_UNTYPED must be used, as we need both the start-time and end-time of the marker. For example:
.. code-block:: cpp
AUTO_PROFILER_MARKER_UNTYPED("interesting thing #1", DOM, {};
AUTO_PROFILER_MARKER_UNTYPED("interesting thing #2", DOM, {});
can be inspected from the perftest:
.. code-block:: js
await startProfiler();
interestingThings();
let pdata = await stopProfiler();
let duration_ms = inspectProfile(pdata, [
"interesting thing #1",
"interesting thing #2"
]);
Staging tests in try jobs
=========================
``$ ./mach try fuzzy --full``
Look for ``service-worker`` to find things like:
| >perftest-windows-service-worker
| >perftest-macosx-service-worker
| >perftest-linux-service-worker
|
Results
=======
Results can be found in treeherder on `mozilla-central
<https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=mozilla-central&searchStr=perftest>`_
and `autoland
<https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=autoland&searchStr=perftest>`_. Look
for linux-sw, macosx-sw, and win-sw (`example
<https://treeherder.mozilla.org/perfherder/graphs?series=mozilla-central,4967140,1,15&selected=4967140,1814245176>`_).
These symbol names are defined in the .yml files under taskcluster/kinds/perftest.
