In fact... running top 100 websites as performance tests might just do the trick because we'll catch any crashes (can't catch assertion failures though :( ).</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br>
<br>
I've been thinking about this for some time now, but only a recent bug<br>
I'm constantly hitting these days<br>
(<a href="https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76574" target="_blank">https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76574</a>) triggered this email<br>
[1]. What I would like to propose here is to have a battery of tests<br>
that would check that the most visited sites (let's say the top 100 for<br>
example) are correctly loaded by WebKit. By correctly loaded, I don't<br>
mean layout or ref tests, they'll just check that the page poad ends<br>
without any assertion.<br>
<br>
I know that trunk is for raw development but having >25k layout tests<br>
passing is nothing if a so popular site as Wikipedia triggers an<br>
assertion while being loaded. The obvious answer is "ok so we need more<br>
tests", we all agree on that, but having like "real-word" permanent<br>
tests would not harm I guess (and probably help defining more layout tests).<br>
<br>
I haven't took a detailed look at them, but maybe these main sites<br>
browsing tests could be part of the perf tests rniwa and others recently<br>
setup.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br>
BR<br>
<br>
[1] note that I am not blaming anyone in particular, we all add bugs,<br>
just that this one finally flipped the switch :)<br>
