About two years ago, I joined the performance test team to help build PerfCompare, an improved performance tool designed to replace Perfherder\u2019s Compare View. Around that time, we introduced PerfCompare<\/a> to garner enthusiasm and feedback in creating a new workflow that would reduce the cognitive load and confusion of its predecessor. And, if we\u2019re being honest, a tool that would also be more enjoyable from a design perspective for comparing the results of performance tests. But most importantly, we wanted to add new, relevant features while keeping Firefox engineers foremost in mind.

Now, after working with Senior Product Designer Dasha Andriyenko to create a sleek, intuitive UI\/UX, integrating feedback from engineers and leaders across different teams, and achieving key milestones, we\u2019re excited to announce that PerfCompare is live and ready to use at perf.compare<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

PerfCompare\u2019s ultimate purpose is to become a tool that empowers developers to make performance testing a core part of their development process.

We are targeting the end of this year to deprecate Compare View and make PerfCompare the primary tool to help Firefox developers analyze the performance impact of their patches.<\/p>\r\n

We are in the process of updating the Firefox source docs, but documentation for PerfCompare can be found at PerfCompare Documentation<\/a>. It provides details on all the new features currently available on PerfCompare and instructions on how to use the tool.

Some key highlights regarding features include:
