The perf-reftest suite is a unique talos suite where each subtest loads two different test pages: a 'base' page (i.e. bloom_basic) and a 'reference' page (i.e. bloom_basic_ref), and then compares each of the page load times against eachother to determine the variance. | Style system performance test suite.

Talos runs each of the two pages as if they are stand-alone tests, and then calculates and reports the variance; the test output 'replicates' reported from bloom_basic are actually the comparisons between the 'base' and 'reference' pages for each page load cycle. The suite contains multiple subtests, each of which contains a base page and a reference page. | Talos runs each of the two pages as if they are stand-alone tests, and then calculates and reports the variance; the test output 'replicates' reported from bloom_basic are actually the comparisons between the 'base' and 'reference' pages for each page load cycle.

If you wish to see the individual 'base' and 'reference' page results instead of just the reported difference, the 'base_replicates' and 'ref_replicates' can be found in the PERFHERDER_DATA log file output, and in the 'local.json' talos output file when running talos locally. In production, both of the page replicates are also archived in the perfherder-data.json file. The perfherder-data.json file is archived after each run in production, and can be found on the Treeherder Job Details tab when the perf-reftest job symbol is selected. | If you wish to see the individual 'base' and 'reference' page results instead of just the reported difference, the 'base_replicates' and 'ref_replicates' can be found in the PERFHERDER_DATA log file output, and in the 'local.json' talos output file when running talos locally.

This test suite was ported over from the style-perf-tests (https://github.com/heycam/style-perf-tests). | |||
