KVM autotest performance regression Testing

Performance Regression Testing

  • Submit jobs in Autotest server, only execute netperf.guset_exhost for three times.

tests.cfg:

only netperf.guest_exhost
client = 192.168.122.2 (external host ip)
variants:
    - repeat1:
    - repeat2:
    - repeat3:

Result files:

# cd /usr/local/autotest/results/8-debug_user/192.168.122.1/
# find .|grep RHS
kvm.repeat1.r61.virtio_blk.smp2.virtio_net.RHEL.6.1.x86_64.netperf.exhost_guest/results/netperf-result.RHS
kvm.repeat2.r61.virtio_blk.smp2.virtio_net.RHEL.6.1.x86_64.netperf.exhost_guest/results/netperf-result.RHS
kvm.repeat3.r61.virtio_blk.smp2.virtio_net.RHEL.6.1.x86_64.netperf.exhost_guest/results/netperf-result.RHS
  • Submit same job in another env (different packages) with same configuration

Result files:

# cd /usr/local/autotest/results/9-debug_user/192.168.122.1/
# find .|grep RHS
kvm.repeat1.r61.virtio_blk.smp2.virtio_net.RHEL.6.1.x86_64.netperf.exhost_guest/results/netperf-result.RHS
kvm.repeat2.r61.virtio_blk.smp2.virtio_net.RHEL.6.1.x86_64.netperf.exhost_guest/results/netperf-result.RHS
kvm.repeat3.r61.virtio_blk.smp2.virtio_net.RHEL.6.1.x86_64.netperf.exhost_guest/results/netperf-result.RHS

Execute regression.py to compare two results:

login autotest server
# cd /usr/local/autotest/client/tools
# python regression.py netperf /usr/local/autotest/results/8-debug_user/192.168.122.1/ /usr/local/autotest/results/9-debug_user/192.168.122.1/ perf.conf
T-test:
Unpaired T-test is used to compare two samples, user can check p-value to know if regression bug exists. If the difference of two samples is considered to be not statistically significant(p <= 0.05), it will add a '+' or '-' before p-value. ('+': avg_sample1 < avg_sample2, '-': avg_sample1 > avg_sample2)
