Websites for power monitoring

[Jonathan Hylands]

Hi everyone,

I'm building up a suite of automated tests that measure power consumption on FxOS phones while the phone is doing specific actions (recording video, playing music, idle, etc).

Right now I'm working on wifi-enabled testing, and specifically I'm looking for websites that I can direct the browser to that will keep pushing data to the phone over the span of a minute or two.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jon

Go to taskcluster artifact index and download a build?

That sounds like an interesting idea - is there a specific URL you can give me?

Also, this needs to work from the public web, not on a VPN or behind a password-protected site.

If you are doing this as part of automated testing, then I believe
that most of our automated testsuites have a builtin webserver which
can run serverside logic. Should be easy to write a simple serverside
logic that just continuously serves endless content.

Just to note, also that the update mar  and the blob free files are on the public side that don't require authentication.

Do we have any larger files on taskcluster? The blob file, which is 166MB, takes about 50 seconds to download on my Flame, and I really want this to run for at least 60 seconds if possible.

Along the lines of what Jonas said, as long as you can also host a simple server, you can stream content over HTTP until your requested time limit. As an example, here is a quick Node.js server you can run that will write content until 60 seconds have elapsed:

Thanks Eli, that worked great!

I'm also looking for a more "regular" website that once it is loaded, pushes new data to the browser every few seconds. Does anyone have any candidates? A news site maybe?

Please be aware that we should rely on live websites during CI
testing. Internet connections and webservers aren't reliable enough
for something that's testing as often as our CI tests run.

So generally speaking you'll want to write your own server script to
handle things like this.

Agreed, and not to mention that those websites can change at any time, changing the frequency or amount of data they push.
