Crossbench is a cross-browser/cross-benchmark runner to extract performance numbers.
This project uses poetry deps and package scripts to setup the correct environment for testing and debugging.
pip3 install poetry
Example usage:
poetry run crossbench speedometer_2.0 \ --browser=/path/to/chromium \ --stories=VanillaJS.* \ --probe=profiling \ --probe=v8.log
Describe all subcommands with stories and all probes:
poetry run crossbench describe
Browsers : Interface to start, interact and stop browsers. The main implementions use selenium for maximum system independence.
Probes : Probes define a way to extract arbitrary (performance) numbers from a host or running browser. This can reach from running simple JS-snippets to extract page-specific numbers to system-wide profiling.
Stories : Stories define sequences of browser interactions. This can be simply loading a URL and waiting for a given period of time, or in more complex scenarios, actively interact with a page and navigate multiple times.
