==Overview of Structure==
A glance at the Framework File Structure (CVS files not included):

|
|__ base_profile (dir)
| |
| |__ bookmarkbackups (dir)
| | |
| | |__ .html files
| |
| |__ Cache (dir)

| |__ .bak, .html, .ini, .dat, .txt, .js, .rdf, .mfl files

|__ run_tests.py, paths.py, config.yaml and other .py, .html files
</pre>
*NOTE: Content in '''base_profile''' dir may vary
The following is written by Annie Sullivan (annie.sullivan@gmail.com):
==base_profile/==
*This directory contains the base profile used for testing.
*A copy of this profile is made for each testing profile, and extensions or prefs are added according to the test_configs array in run_tests.py.
*For the page load test to run correctly, the hostperm.1 file must be set to allow scheme:file uris to open in new windows, and the pref to force a window to open in a tab must not be set.
*The dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows pref should also be set to true. The browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser pref should be set to false.
==page_load_test/==
*This directory contains the JavaScript files and html data files for the page load test.
*The page load test opens a new window and cycles through loading each html file, timing each load.
==startup_test/==
*This directory contains the JavaScript to run the startup test.
*It measures how long it takes Firefox to start up.
==extension_perf_report/==
*This directory is where the generated report will go into.
*You may specify another directory to substitute this directory, but make sure that the '''paths.py''' is changed to point to it.
==run_tests.py, paths.py==
*These files should be configured to run the test on different machines, with different extensions or preferences. See setup above.

==Reflections on the project==
Now that the first phase of the project is done, I would like to sit back and reflect on some of the experiences I have had with this project. Not only did this project grow, I have been growing with it. I've learned endless amount of things by working on this project (not just technical stuff). And as the saying goes, "you only learn from experience"!
===Configuration frustration===
Words can't express how I was initially frustrated with the framework. I hit brick walls a countless number of times when I tried to set the framework up and running and I was on the verge of giving up. It was only through my own perseverance and determination that I got this to work.
Outcome: A list of things to fix on the framework to ease the configuration, strengthen the framework and better documentation!!
===First deliverable===
I asked the class to test my first deliverable. I had faith that my framework would bring delight to my testers, but I was proven otherwise. Even with the effort that I've put into my first deliverable, it still created a group of frustrated and agonized users. Many of them ranted on what could be improved on the framework, hence:
Outcome: A list of things to automate the framework and EASE THE CONFIGURATION
===Final deliverable===
I'm glad that my first tester was thrilled about my Performance Testing. There is nothing better than a happy user. What I've learned is that TESTING is the KEY to a successful application. Why do so many of us developers neglect that??

These are the individuals who played a significant part in making this framework headed toward success!
