Binary package hint: software-center
1. Start Ubuntu.
2. Launch Ubuntu Software Center.
Reportedly, during user testing of Unity in Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu Software Center took over 60 seconds to launch on a netbook. <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/unity-usability-testing>
So, let's set a target: On benchmark hardware, on a cold launch, the Ubuntu Software Center window should appear within five seconds.
This does not mean the software catalogue needs to have loaded by that time. The main pane might show a spinner (or, even better, a progress bar) until the catalogue is ready.
And it does not mean all your software channels need to be known by that time. The navigation pane might show just the top-level items (with disclosure triangles disabled) until it knows what the children are.
All it means is that the window appears within five seconds. Like it does for Calculator, or Character Map, or Disk Usage Analyzer, or Gnome Terminal.
This bug will be fixed when:
(step 1) we know, and publish, what "benchmark hardware" means, exactly;
(step 2) every day, or every revision of trunk, an automated test measures the time from cold launch to the window opening on that benchmark hardware;
(step 3) the results are publicly accessible, preferably as a graph (like <http://arewefastyet.com/>);
(step 4) the graph shows launch to open window taking less than five seconds. |
1. Start Ubuntu.
2. Launch Ubuntu Software Center.
During user testing of Unity in Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu Software Center took between 8 and 20 seconds to launch on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10. (It took 52 seconds to appear for one participant, but that was because of a bug in Unity's Workspaces view.) <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/unity-usability-testing>
Twenty seconds is a long time. So, let's set a target: On benchmark hardware, on a cold launch, the Ubuntu Software Center window should appear within five seconds.
This does not mean the software catalogue needs to have loaded by that time. The main pane might show a spinner (or, even better, a progress bar) until the catalogue is ready.
And it does not mean all your software channels need to be known by that time. The navigation pane might show just the top-level items (with disclosure triangles disabled) until it knows what the children are.
All it means is that the window appears within five seconds. Like it does for Calculator, or Character Map, or Disk Usage Analyzer, or Gnome Terminal.
This bug will be fixed when:
1. we know, and publish, what "benchmark hardware" means, exactly; (DONE - Dell Mini 10)
2. every day, or every revision of trunk, an automated test measures the time from cold launch to the window opening on that benchmark hardware; (DONE)
3. the results are publicly accessible, preferably as a graph; (DONE - <http://people.canonical.com/~mvo/software-center/mini10-startup/startup-times.png>)
4. the graph shows launch to open window taking less than five seconds.
