// Field trials allow webrtc clients (such as Chrome) to turn on feature code
|
|
// in binaries out in the field and gather information with that.
|
|
//
|
|
// By default WebRTC provides an implementation of field trials that can be
|
|
// found in system_wrappers/source/field_trial.cc. If clients want to provide
|
|
// a custom version, they will have to:
|
|
//
|
|
// 1. Compile WebRTC defining the preprocessor macro
|
|
// WEBRTC_EXCLUDE_FIELD_TRIAL_DEFAULT (if GN is used this can be achieved
|
|
// by setting the GN arg rtc_exclude_field_trial_default to true).
|
|
// 2. Provide an implementation of:
|
|
// std::string webrtc::field_trial::FindFullName(const std::string& trial).
|
|
//
|
|
// They are designed to wire up directly to chrome field trials and to speed up
|
|
// developers by reducing the need to wire APIs to control whether a feature is
|
|
// on/off. E.g. to experiment with a new method that could lead to a different
|
|
// trade-off between CPU/bandwidth:
|
|
//
|
|
// 1 - Develop the feature with default behaviour off:
|
|
//
|
|
// if (FieldTrial::FindFullName("WebRTCExperimentMethod2") == "Enabled")
|
|
// method2();
|
|
// else
|
|
// method1();
|
|
//
|
|
// 2 - Once the changes are rolled to chrome, the new code path can be
|
|
// controlled as normal chrome field trials.
|
|
//
|
|
// 3 - Evaluate the new feature and clean the code paths.
|
|
//
|
|
// Notes:
|
|
// - NOT every feature is a candidate to be controlled by this mechanism as
|
|
// it may require negotiation between involved parties (e.g. SDP).
|
|
//
|
|
// TODO(andresp): since chrome --force-fieldtrials does not marks the trial
|
|
// as active it does not get propagated to the renderer process. For now one
|
|
// needs to push a config with start_active:true or run a local finch
|
|
// server.
|
|
//
|
|
// TODO(andresp): find out how to get bots to run tests with trials enabled.
