Over six months, Alex Glavic enhanced performance testing and data analysis infrastructure across mozilla/treeherder, mozilla/gecko-dev, and mozilla/performance. Alex developed and optimized APIs, improved Android tab restore testing, and unified startup performance data collection, using Python, React, and JavaScript. In mozilla/treeherder, Alex streamlined performance artifact ingestion and enabled consistent data replication for startup tests. For mozilla/gecko-dev, Alex expanded device coverage and profiling for Android performance pipelines, refining data handling and documentation. In mozilla/performance, Alex delivered device-specific dashboards and improved cross-device metrics visualization. The work demonstrated depth in backend development, data visualization, and performance monitoring, resulting in more reliable analytics.

September 2025 monthly summary: Delivered device-specific Android dashboards with platform graphs for A55, P6, and S24, and added startup/restore metrics across devices. Fixed cross-device graph data blending (Bug 1986520) by separating graphs for each platform and removing the confusing trimodal visualization; expanded data mapping for metrics in android.html and assets. Added Android startup/restore metrics and tests across devices to the dashboard, and extended test coverage with restore tests. Overall impact: improved observability, cross-device performance insights, and faster issue triage, enabling data-driven optimization and stakeholder confidence.

Performance-focused monthly summary for August 2025 (mozilla/treeherder). Objective: unify startup performance data collection by enabling the 'replicates on' setting for startup tests, including the homeview test, to ensure consistent performance signals across the suite. This aligns with Bug 1980506 and supports reliable performance analysis, faster issue diagnosis, and improved operational visibility.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-07: Across mozilla/gecko-dev and mozilla/treeherder, delivered a targeted bug fix and a performance data replication feature that enhance startup reliability and data-driven analysis. The GeckoDev change stabilizes startup metrics by switching image analysis to absolute difference and adds a final-frame image for debugging (commit 469fbe7aea78bf098c21ea3d51e7e19ae412f20b). The Treeherder enhancement enables replicated performance reporting for applink-startup and tab-restore test suites on mozilla-central and autoland (commit 6395eef72a644397b3ad3fd624cb8fac5bc670cc). These efforts improve data quality, debugging efficiency, and cross-repo visibility for performance optimization.

In June 2025, I delivered substantial enhancements to the Android tab restore performance testing pipeline in mozilla/gecko-dev, expanding hardware coverage, profiling capabilities, and data quality. Key deliverables included autoland tab restore test enablement, test configurations for Samsung S24 and Google Pixel 6 with Chrome and Fenix, and startup profiling via simpleperf. I refactored data handling for startup performance tests, upgraded the Browsertime test stack (Ffmpeg) to version 7.1, and enhanced perfherder metadata to separate profiling vs non-profiling runs. I also added dynamic documentation filtering in the RaptorGatherer to ensure desktop vs mobile docs reflect the intended platform. These changes improved test reliability, accelerated feedback cycles, and delivered clearer, platform-accurate documentation, driving faster decision-making and higher-quality performance signals.
