Hi Mesa Developers, Since going public with the Mesa Graphics Testing Services system last week, I have received some questions and comments that made me think it would be good to articulate the objectives of the Mesa Graphics Testing Services:
1. Detection of regressions (both image rendering and performance) 2. Provide a service to Mesa Developers to test out their development branches for regressions before merging. 3. Provide ongoing testing on Mesa Releases and maintain a history of results that is helpful in continued monitoring of Mesa driver release quality as it relates to Steam games. 4. Provide a maintained baseline of known good images and performance for various Steam game frames. 5. NOT Objective: Performance bench-marking test suite. The tests in the Mesa testing system are not a measure of overall game performance since game logic will be removed at test time. The tests are focused on Mesa driver functionality and performance through the GPU. Karen Ghavam CEO and Engineering Director LunarG, Inc. On Wed, Nov 15, 2017 at 1:32 PM, Pierre-Loup A.
