Bug 76504 – run-perf-tests should generate a json file that summaries the result

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Now that I've made a progress on webkit-perf.appspot.com, we're ready to start submitting data there. In order to do this, we need to have run-perf-tests generate a json file that summaries the results.

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Format:
{
  "password": "test",
  "timestamp": 1326851283,
  "revision": 104856,
  "summary": {
    "webkit_style_test": {
      "average": 100,
      "median": 102,
      "stdev": 5,
      "min": 90,
      "max": 110
    },
    "some_test": 54
  }
}

password: given per bot to avoid someone adversely reporting wrong values.
timestamp: the time test started running
revision: the webkit revision for which the tests were ran
summary: this is the main part of the json. It's a dictionary where the key is the name of a test and the value is either an integer (simple/chromium style tests) or a dictionary that contains average, median, standard deviation, min, and max values.

If we end up having lots of tests and wanted to reduce the size of json, we can use an array (as supposed to a dictionary) for the webkit style test.

I'm changing my mind and renaming it to "results".

This isn't Python 2.5 compat, but I don't think you should worry about that.

Thanks for the review!

Yeah, I'll worry about only if someone complains.

there is dependency cycle between port and host.
I've fixed it at r105263
