MailNews:Performance Testing

<< Back to MailNews:Home Page

Performance testing for MailNews (i.e. Thunderbird and the Mail/Newsgroups part of SeaMonkey) is becoming more important. We need to track this performance and any regressions that our changes make, especially with some of the big changes that are currently being proposed.

This page and its sub-pages are intended to describe the tests that are run (or will be run) on the tinderboxes and where the results go.
