== Summary ==

Use the test automation infrastructure to conduct performance testing and track progress over time. 

== Rationale ==

We should aim for better performance in key components and monitor for regressions.

== Use Cases ==

 * Boot time
 * X.org

== Assumptions ==

== Design ==

 * Scheduling and performing testing
 * Log the results and plot them over time

=== Tests ===

 * Which tests do we run?

=== Reporting ===

The hardware testing system using checkbox and the certification website currently returns a '''Pass''', '''Fail''' or '''Skip''' result for each test. For performance testing this is not an appropriate result but the current system can be used as follows: 

 * '''Fail:''' unused - we currently don't have failure criteria defined for these tests
 * '''Skip:''' The test could not run because of missing dependency
 * '''Pass:''' The test ran and returned a numerical result when we log and analyse in a separate process

== Implementation ==



=== Code Changes ===


== Unresolved issues ==
