| Fix the Documentation for Performance Testing Framework Configuration |
- Clarify that the paths are default and could be modified - paths.py
- Confusion - contradiction for hostperm.1 file in documentation
(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.
- 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 :)
- Bold (use "preferences : {}" for no prefs) and (use "extensions: {}" for none)
- 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.
- Clearer in these areas:
- Be more specific in the "Configure the paths" section.
- Explain what preferences : {} is.
- if you're going to change the dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows you have to cancel the py script before u change the setting.
- firefox should not be open before the test starts.
