Description Hajime Morrita 2012-09-24 18:11:11 PDT
A new browser benchmark is released.
- http://www.robohornet.org/

It would be great if we have this as a part of our PerformanceTest
and run it as a perfbot target and performance investigation.

How does it take to run the tests? FWIW, perf. bots already take ~1 hour to cycle. Maybe we can disable some of existing tests on bots? (e.g. there are multiple floats_* tests).
Comment 2 Hajime Morrita 2012-09-24 19:18:53 PDT
It shouldn't take that long (a few minutes?)
But yes, I think we need to kill some of Dromaeo tests before enabling these.
It already takes so long as you filed as Bug 97285.

here is a sketched out "shim" to be able to run unmodified tests.

Currently requires symlinking robohornet/static/tests into PerformanceTests/robohornet/resources/tests

I should have passed --no-assign. :)
Comment 6 Emil A Eklund 2012-10-02 16:35:26 PDT
I would suggest that we hold of importing it for a while as there is a lot of discussion about the test methodology and the implementation of some of the tests. Those discussions are likely to result in changes to the tests that might affect how we run them.

bug 98798 tracks perf issues we've found from RoboHornet/RoboHornetPro
