<> If you need to re-create some real-user browsing to drive power and memory profiling, there is a very good Chromium extension that repeats an one-hour usage pattern: * [First 60% of the test] Browsing: a new website is loaded every minute. The web page loaded is scrolled down one page every second, then scrolled back up one page every second. * [Next 20%] Email: Gmail is loaded in the foreground tab and audio is streamed from a background tab. * [Next 10%] Documents: Various Google Docs are loaded. * [Final 10%] Video: A full screen 480p YouTube Video is played. The original chromium extensions is part of the [[http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/testing/power-testing|Chrome OS]] test suite. The modified extension for the nexus 7 is available [[http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vtuson/+junk/load_test_nexus7/files | here]]. To use the extension: * branch the bzr branch locally into the nexus 7 (`$ bzr branch lp:~vtuson/+junk/load_test_nexus7`) * install chromium: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser * launch chromium and from the menu go to tools --> extensions * In the extension view, click on "developer mode" * now you will have an option called "Load unpacked extension..." , click in it and browse to your local folder called "extension/" Once the extension is loaded, it will self-start any time that you open the browser. As an exampe test, there is a run_loadtest shell script in the same branch than the extension that will launch the browser and take battery and brightness levels every 15 minutes for ever.
