// Field trials allow webrtc clients (such as Chrome) to turn on feature code
|
|
// in binaries out in the field and gather information with that.
|
|
//
|
|
// WebRTC clients MUST provide an implementation of:
|
|
//
|
|
// std::string webrtc::field_trial::FindFullName(const std::string& trial).
|
|
//
|
|
// Or link with a default one provided in:
|
|
//
|
|
// system_wrappers/system_wrappers.gyp:field_trial_default
|
|
//
|
|
//
|
|
// They are designed to wire up directly to chrome field trials and to speed up
|
|
// developers by reducing the need to wire APIs to control whether a feature is
|
|
// on/off. E.g. to experiment with a new method that could lead to a different
|
|
// trade-off between CPU/bandwidth:
|
|
//
|
|
// 1 - Develop the feature with default behaviour off:
|
|
//
|
|
// if (FieldTrial::FindFullName("WebRTCExperimenMethod2") == "Enabled")
|
|
// method2();
|
|
// else
|
|
// method1();
|
|
//
|
|
// 2 - Once the changes are rolled to chrome, the new code path can be
|
|
// controlled as normal chrome field trials.
|
|
//
|
|
// 3 - Evaluate the new feature and clean the code paths.
|
|
//
|
|
// Notes:
|
|
// - NOT every feature is a candidate to be controlled by this mechanism as
|
|
// it may require negotation between involved parties (e.g. SDP).
|
|
//
|
|
// TODO(andresp): since chrome --force-fieldtrials does not marks the trial
|
|
// as active it does not gets propaged to renderer process. For now one
|
|
// needs to push a config with start_active:true or run a local finch
|
|
// server.
|

// TODO(andresp): find out how to get bots to run tests with trials enabled.
