Since this extension affects potentially every logged-in page load, we should request a performance review prior to deployment. We expect to deploy in Q4 and performance reviews must be filed at least 21 days before the start of the quarter. This gives us until early March to make the request.
Filing a performance review requires filling out a form. The form requests a way to test the extension without further edits being required. Since the testers might not meet the edit count threshold, how can we allow them to receive it without additional work?
The form also has the following questions:
- What work has been done to ensure the best possible performance of the feature?
- What are likely to be the weak areas (e.g. bottlenecks) of the code in terms of performance?
- Are there potential optimisations that haven't been performed yet?
- Please list which performance measurements are in place for the feature and/or what you've measured ad-hoc so far. If you are unsure what to measure, ask the Performance Team for advice: performance-team@wikimedia.org.
