| Fix the Documentation for Performance Testing Framework Configuration |
- Clarify that path values are the defaults and that they could be different?
- Confusion - contradiction
(Optional) For the page load test to work, modify the hostperm.1 file
* Set to allow urls with scheme:file to open in new windows
* Set the preference to open new windows in a tab should be off.
# Permission File
# This is a generated file! Do not edit.
- Clarify that the paths are default and could be modified - paths.py
- Highlight sections that (may) need to be modified
- Student comment: Within code, could be hard to understand.
- BOLD and HIGHLIGHT the part: Running the test will close any existing Firefox windows.
- Clarify any concerns about skewing the test
- How much of this test is reliant on applications currently running on the system? Can one skew the test results to give inaccurate readings by overloading the system?
- By running a quick test I realized that by overloading the processor, the results of the test become much less useful. Before running the test framework I started a multitude of applications to occupy the processor:
- 2 x YouTube Flash Video Sites
- 1 x Disk Defragmenter
- 1 x Flash Game
- 1 x Flash Media Site
- 1 x Windows Media Streamed Video
- Student commented that users want to quickly setup the environment and get the performance testing running
- Clarify yaml config setup
- Do mention that indentation is important :)
- Should creation of the 'extension_perf_reports' directory be incorporated into the zip with the python files to save the user from having to make the directory?
- Student Comment: Mention that you need to "download and install them, in this order". The reason is because I assumed this was an installation walkthrough guide so I presume you may need us to configure things manually in the guide.

Fix the Performance Testing Framework |
- Give some sort of feedback on test conclusions, it currently just dumps you back to the DOS prompt.
- Just say tests completed successfully/ failed etc.
