articulate the typical workflow for auditing performance of webpages. Similar
principles can be applied to apps too. <!--more--></p>
+
+<h1 id="automating_performance_measurements">Automating Performance
measurements</h1>
+
+<p>With rapid development and release cycles of apps, it becomes hard to do
regular performance audits. Automating the process with tools would ensure that
we have a handle on the performance of the app.</p>
+
+<p><a href="http://npmjs.org/package/browser-perf";>browser-perf</a> is a
NodeJS based tool picks up data from browser developer tools and converts them
to key performance indicators. It is based on Chromiumâs performance test
suite called <a
href="http://www.chromium.org/developers/telemetry";>telemetry</a> and supports
iOS and Android based Cordova apps. All metrics are recorded while mimicking
typical user interactions.</p>
+
+<h2 id="testing_ios_apps">Testing iOS Apps</h2>
+
+<p>To start testing your Cordova app for iOS, you would need to <code>npm
install</code> <a href="http://appium.io/";>Appium</a> and <a
href="http://appium.io/getting-started.html?lang=en";>set it up</a>. Appium is a
tool to automate your app and emulate user interactions like clicking buttons
or typing in the app. Ensure that the app is built at least once and the
emulator is running.</p>
+
+<p>You can then use the following NodeJS snippet to run a simple test. In the
example, a value is typed entered into a text box, and a button is clicked.</p>
+
+<pre><code>var browserPerf = require('browser-perf');
+browserPerf(undefined, function(err, res) {
+ if (err) {
+ console.log('An error occured');
+ } else {
+ console.log('Result is ', res);
+ }
+}, {
+ selenium: "http://localhost:4723/wd/hub",
+ browsers: [{
+ platformName: "iOS",
+ platformVersion: "8.0",
+ deviceName: "iPhone Simulator",
+ app:
"~/cordovaapp/platforms/ios/build/emulator/HelloCordova.app",
+ bundleId: "io.cordova.hellocordova",
+ autoWebview: true
+ }],
+ log: console.log.bind(console),
+ actions: [
+ function(browser) {
+ return browser.elementById('count').then(function(el) {
+ el.type(1000);
+ }).then(function() {
+ return browser.elementById('checkout');
+ }).then(function(el) {
+ return el.click();
+ });
+ }
+ ]
+});</code></pre>
+
+<p>Additional user interactions can be used instead of typing and clicking by
following the guide on <a
href="https://github.com/axemclion/browser-perf/wiki/Node-Module---API#actions";>this
page</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG_eTe_H-s4";>video below</a>
illustrates the steps. Note that in the video, the config file does not specify
any action. Hence, the default action scrolls the page and records the
metrics.</p>
+
+<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG_eTe_H-s4";><img
src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/TG_eTe_H-s4/0.jpg"; alt="Video of steps to run
perf tests in Cordova" /></a></p>
+
+<h2 id="testing_android_apps">Testing Android Apps</h2>
+
+<p>Testing Android apps is very similar to testing iOS Apps. The only
difference would be the use of <a
href="https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/";>ChromeDriver</a>
instead of Appium. Consequently, the configuration would look something like <a
href="https://github.com/axemclion/browser-perf/blob/master/test/res/android-hybrid.config.json";>this</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Additional details about setting up the test environment can be found <a
href="https://github.com/axemclion/browser-perf/wiki/Setup-Instructions#testing-mobile-cordova-webviewhybrid-applications";>here</a>,
with reference for browser-perf in the <a
href="https://github.com/axemclion/browser-perf/wiki/Node-Module---API";>wiki
pages</a>.</p>
+
+<h1 id="finishing_touches">Finishing touches</h1>
+
+<p>browser-perf can record a plethora of metrics ranging from frame rates, to
count of expensive paints or expensive events that could cause jank. Each of
these metrics indicates how a CSS transform or an onscroll handler may have
changed the performance of the app. Recording this data over time can give
better insight into how each code change affects the smooth experience. The
<code>res</code> object in browser-perf callback from the example snippet above
can be saved to a database and graphed. For example, <a
href="http://npmjs.org/package/perfjankie";>Perfjankie</a> works on top of
browser-perf, stores the results in a CouchDB database, and displays the
results</p>
+
+<h1 id="summary">Summary</h1>
+
+<p>In this article, we saw how to measure the rendering performance of Cordova
apps. With the tools described, you can ensure that your apps are just as good
as native apps are supposed to be.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p>If you would like to run this for your Cordova app, please <a
href="http://twitter.com/nparashuram";>contact me</a>, and I would be glad to
help you to get started or check out this <a
href="http://blog.nparashuram.com/2014/10/measuring-rendering-performance-metrics.html";>related
