Halreftest | Grafx Bot is the new Halreftest! After meeting with members of the design team, Grafx Bot was selected as the new name for this project. Sean Martell is going to produce a robot icon/logo for it as well. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549416 bug 549416]. | ||
When a user invokes the | Grafx Bot is an extension being developed to enable crowdsource testing of [[Platform/GFX/HardwareAcceleration|hardware acceleration]] and [[Gecko:Layers|layers]] on a greater variety of hardware combinations than Mozilla could reasonably expect to have access to internally. The tool will initially be promoted during QA testdays at periodic intervals, and may be promoted for wider distribution via some other channel after the graphics code has reached a desired level of stability. (what channel, and what criteria will we use to determine if it's ready for wider distribution?) | ||
When a user invokes the Grafx Bot extension, it displays a welcome page which describes the purpose of the extension and provides a "Start" button. When the user clicks this, the extension will run a series of reftests which are bundled into the extension. When the tests are complete, the extension will post the test results, along with some system data, to a database at Mozilla, where it can later be analyzed. | |||
