This adds a performance tracking framework that can run a set of tests over specified git revisions. The ruby script for generating the reports comes from similar performance tracking in GEGL. The framework permits evaluating new tests against older version of clutter. The tests themselves go through a few hoops for disabling framerate limiting in both mesa and clutter. When running make check the tests will be run and lines of the form: @ test-state: 40.51 fps will be left in the output, a script can scrape these lines out of a build log on a buildbot to in other ways track performance.

Outline of test categories:
|
|
|
|
The conform/ tests should be non-interactive unit-tests that verify a single
|
|
feature is behaving as documented. See conform/ADDING_NEW_TESTS for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
The performance/ tests are performance tests, both focused tests testing single
|
|
metrics and larger tests. These tests are used to report one or more
|
|
performance markers for the build of Clutter. Each performance marker is picked
|
|
up from the standard output of running the tests from strings having the form
|
|
"\n@ marker-name: 42.23" where 'marker-name' and '42.23' are the key/value pairs
|
|
of a single metric. Each test can provide multiple key/value pairs. Note that
|
|
if framerate is the feedback metric the test should forcibly enable FPS
|
|
debugging itself. The file test-common.h contains utility function helping to
|
|
do fps reporting.
|
|
|
|
The interactive/ tests are any tests whose status can not be determined without
|
|
a user looking at some visual output, or providing some manual input etc. This
|
|
covers most of the original Clutter tests. Ideally some of these tests will be
|
|
migrated into the conformance/ directory so they can be used in automated
|
|
nightly tests.
|
|
|
|
The accessibility/ tests are tests created to test the accessibility support of
|
|
clutter, testing some of the atk interfaces.
|
|
|
|
The data/ directory contains optional data (like images and ClutterScript
|
|
definitions) that can be referenced by a test.
|
|
|
|
Other notes:
|
|
|
|
• All tests should ideally include a detailed description in the source
|
|
explaining exactly what the test is for, how the test was designed to work,
|
|
and possibly a rationale for the approach taken for testing.
|
|
|
|
• When running tests under Valgrind, you should follow the instructions
|
|
available here:
|
|
|
|
http://live.gnome.org/Valgrind
|
|
|
|
and also use the suppression file available inside the data/ directory.
