== Summary ==
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.
== Team ==
Who's working on this?
* '''Lead Developer''': Taras Glek
* '''Product Manager''': Chris Blizzard
* '''QA''': AndreiD
* '''UX''': Limi
* '''Security''': Curtis Koenig
* '''Services''': Unknown
* '''Metrics''': Daniel Einspanjer
* '''Privacy''': Asa Dotzler, [[User:Sidstamm|Sid Stamm]], Alex Fowler
Another person worth talking to is Graydon, who filed the original bug, and Sayer who has strong opinions on the matter.
== Release Requirements ==
Complete checklist of items that need to be satisfied before we can call this feature "done".
* Modify privacy policy(Asa)
* Add UI (Mike Hommey)
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659396 for ongoing telemetry enhancements.
== Next Steps ==
* Set up official server backend for receiving built-in telemetry.  Metrics team.  (May 6)
* Design & impl UI for opt-in. (limi & glandium)
* Land it with required privacy bits. (Asa)
* Move on to field trials. (A/B testing)
== Related Bugs & Dependencies ==

[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652656 privacy policy update]
[[Privacy/Reviews/Telemetry|Privacy Review]]
'''Need''': Services plan, deployment plan, early items to measure.
== Designs ==
Any and all mockups, design specs, tech specs, etc.  Either inline or linked to.
== Goals/Use Cases ==
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?
== 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.
