Description
Currently, there is a lot of variance with performance tests - we need to set up an environment where:
- we can understand the impact of our work on multiple machine configurations
- we can minimize variance between test runs and have higher confidence that a potential performance optimization is actually adding value rather than unnecessarily complicating the codebase
- the tests should run continuously so we can detect issues as soon as possible
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No files, tests, or CI entry points are named. Start by locating the existing performance tests and continuous-integration configuration, then determine how machine configurations, run variance, statistical confidence, and continuous detection should be measured; done means repeatable results that reliably identify meaningful regressions or improvements.
