I know this sounds redundant, but I think it would actually be helpful
to put "s" next to measurements that are in seconds, and % next to
percentages.. I mean actually in the table, not just in the header... Also, adding a "+" to indicate an increase would help readability. Finally, it would be nice if we could reduce the number of digits, I forget what its called in scientific notation, but basically that no more than 3 digits of information would be shown, so that you could have "192s" or "44.2%" or "1.04s" I think there isn't necessarily value in knowing that the "median" column is the median, or the average, or what - its just the current measure... how about just "current" since really what we want to be doing is distinguishing it from the 'm5' column? m5 | current | change % | change time 0.594s | 1.143s | +192% | +0.549s 159s | 98s | +62% | -61s Alec Heikki Toivonen wrote: There has been some confusion on how to present the performance information on http://builds.osafoundation.org/tinderbox/Chandler/status.htmlBased on the feedback (and my own initial confusion), here's something I think would be more readily understandable: m5 | Median | change % | change time 0.594 | 1.143 | 192 | 0.549 159 | 98 | 62 | -61 All values (except %) in seconds. The first row would be orange (or red, depending on color thresholds, using the Tinderbox standard colors), and the second row would be green. So the sign of the change time column values changed - negative means we got faster which is good. And in the % column values below 100 are smaller, which are good, and above 100 is bad. Would that make more sense, or is there some other way you would present the change columns? Note that the table format and how we get the Median etc. will probably change so that we can get faster feedback, but the issue of negative/positive values and % value should not change. |
