PerfDash

Performance testing dashboard for Mozilla Bugzilla Testing components (AWSY, mozperftest, Performance, Raptor, Talos).

A focused fork of Mozilla BugDash optimized specifically for performance testing infrastructure workflows.

Features

• Fast: Loads only Testing components (5 components vs 500+)
• Auto-configured: Components pre-selected, opens to "Stalled & Longstanding" tab
• Optimized: Parallel API requests, 8-10x faster load time
• Testing-focused: Only shows buglists relevant to test infrastructure health

Quick Start

Local Development

make run

Open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser.

First Time Setup

1. Click the 🔑 key icon (top right)
2. Enter your Bugzilla API key
3. The app will remember it in your browser's localStorage

Getting a Bugzilla API Key

Why needed? Bugzilla requires authentication to:

• Access higher rate limits (avoid 429 errors)
• View some bug details (security groups, private data)
• Fetch user information (nicknames, real names)

How to get one:

1. Go to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=apikey
2. Log in with your Mozilla LDAP/GitHub account
3. Click "Generate a new API key"
4. Give it a description like "PerfDash Testing Dashboard"
5. Copy the key and paste it into PerfDash

Security: Your API key is stored only in your browser's localStorage (under perfdash.* keys) - it never leaves your machine except to authenticate with Bugzilla.

Deployment

GitHub Pages (Recommended)

This is a static site and works perfectly on GitHub Pages:

1. Enable GitHub Pages in your repo settings:

   • Go to Settings → Pages
   • Source: "GitHub Actions"

2. Push to main branch - the included workflow will auto-deploy

3. Access your dashboard at: https://yourusername.github.io/perfdash/

The included .github/workflows/deploy.yml handles everything automatically.

Alternative: Any Static Host

Since this is pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript, you can host it anywhere:

• Netlify: Drop the folder
• Cloudflare Pages: Connect your repo
• Your own server: Just serve the files

No PHP, no Node.js runtime needed - just static file hosting.

What's Different from BugDash?

Scope:

• Focused on Testing product only (not 19+ Firefox products)
• Limited to 5 components: AWSY, mozperftest, Performance, Raptor, Talos
• Removed Firefox release tracking (Beta, Regressions, Tracked tabs)

Performance:

• Parallel component loading with Promise.all()
• Increased async concurrency from 10 → 50 requests
• Removed Firefox version API calls (saves 2 HTTP requests)
• Result: ~30 second load time → ~3-5 seconds

UX:

• Auto-selects all 5 Testing components on load
• Default tab is "Stalled & Longstanding" (not Triage)
• Removed irrelevant buglists (Top Crashers, Long Defects/Enhancements/Tasks)

Storage:

• Uses namespaced localStorage keys (perfdash.*) to avoid conflicts

Available Tabs

• Triage: Recent bugs needing classification and assignment
• Important: Blocker and Critical defects requiring immediate attention
• Stalled & Longstanding: Inactive assignments and stalled work
• Overview: Severity breakdown and maintenance metrics
• Components: Select which Testing components to monitor

Code Quality

Before committing changes:

make format test

This runs Biome for linting/formatting and validates cache-bust integrity.
