Open issues/risks

`

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Telemetry allows Engineering to receive aggregate data of browser health in the field. Think cache hit rates, page load times across all browser instances or anything else we're interested in.

The goal for this feature is to give our developers the ability to know if changes they are making have wide-ranging positive and negative effects at scale. Are users seeing better performance?

Another goal of this is to give us easy-to-use infrastructure to learn about the structure of the Internet as a whole. That is, how do we tune our browser based on what the Internet and Web do?

2. Users & use cases

`

3. Dependencies

`

4. Requirements

  • Modify privacy policy(Asa)
  • Add UI (Mike Hommey)

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659396 for ongoing telemetry enhancements.

Non-goals

This is not a system for gathering feedback from individual users. It is a system for us to get aggregate health data about browsers in the field. It's also a chance for us to run lightweight tests if we want to learn how certain settings will affect browser performance or user experience. It is distinct from the Test Pilot program.

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

`

6. User experience design

`

Stage 3: Planning

7. Implementation plan

`

8. Reviews

Security review

Privacy review

Localization review

`

Accessibility

`

Quality Assurance review

`

Operations review

`

Stage 4: Development

9. Implementation

Need: Services plan, deployment plan, early items to measure.

Stage 5: Release

10. Landing criteria
