To that end, it’s important that we prevent significant performance regressions from reaching the production app.

At Netflix the term “performance” usually encompasses both performance metrics (in the strict meaning) and memory metrics, and that’s how we’re using the term here.

The goal of our TVUI Performance Tests is to gather memory and responsiveness metrics while simulating the full range of member interactions with Netflix TV.

When the performance tests are red we have a much higher confidence that there is a genuine performance regression.
