In yesterday's 'vendor summit' we were discussing performance monitoring and your methodology was cited as one worth looking at. The idea of graphing the output of various performance tests against svn commit number is a very good one. I thonk it migh teven be worth doing these tests daily, and putting the output onto a web site, showing the last month, the last year and the whole range. it would even be interesting to put out 'xplot' files so that people can zoom in and out using xplot to see exactly which revision was responsinble for reversions or problems. George.. this is what we mentioned at the meeting yesterday.
