Talos
is a python performance testing framework that
is usable on Windows,
Mac
and Linux. Talos
is our versatile performance testing framework we
use at Mozilla. It was created to serve
as a test runner
for the existing
performance tests that Mozilla was running back
in 2007 as well
as providing
an extensible framework
for new tests
as they were created.
So, why Talos? Talos
is the bronze automaton of Greek myth. Talos protected
the island of Crete, throwing giant boulders at unwary seamen. He
's
also purported to have heated himself glowing hot
and then embraced his
enemies. Basically, he was awesome.
