| <h1>Overview</h1> |
| The performance results tool provide an easy way to look at results collected |
| while running performance tests on a build. It is accessible using the |
| <b>Performance Results</b> perspective: |
| <p><img src="images/perspective.png" alt="Performance Results perspective"/></p> |
| <p> |
| There are 4 views in this perspective:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="components.html">Components view</a>: This is the view to see |
| the results in details for each components</li> |
| <li><a href="builds.html">Builds view</a>: This is the view to see all builds, |
| update local data and generate results when necessary</li> |
| <li><a href="results.html">Components Results view</a>: This is the view to |
| see whole results for each machine in a single table</li> |
| <li><a href="properties.html">Properties view</a>: Display element properties |
| (typically results numbers and other database information)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| The goal of this tool is both to look at performance results database numbers |
| and to verify whether a build result have scenarios showing performance regression. |
| </p><p> |
| The view to use to look at performance results number is the |
| <a href="components.html">Components view</a>. In this view, results are |
| displayed in a hierarchical tree which have a similar structure than |
| the generated HTML pages (e.g. |
| <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6-201006080911/performance/performance.php">Eclipse 3.6.0</a>). |
| The complete performance results information is provided on each element of the tree in the |
| <a href="properties.html">Properties view</a>. This is typically useful when a scenario |
| results looks weird to have the ability to verify that the numbers looks correct |
| or not. |
| </p><p> |
| The view to verify whether a regression occurs is the <a href="results.html">Components Results view</a>. |
| All results for one component are shown in a single table which also provides |
| all necessary information to decide whether a noticed regression could be confirmed |
| or not. |
