16 // Field trials allow webrtc clients (such as Chrome) to turn on feature code | |
17 // in binaries out in the field and gather information with that. | |
18 // | |
19 // WebRTC clients MUST provide an implementation of: | |
20 // | |
21 // std::string webrtc::field_trial::FindFullName(const std::string& trial). | |
22 // | |
23 // Or link with a default one provided in: | |

27 // | |
28 // They are designed to wire up directly to chrome field trials and to speed up | |
29 // developers by reducing the need to wire APIs to control whether a feature is | |
30 // on/off. E.g. to experiment with a new method that could lead to a different | |
31 // trade-off between CPU/bandwidth: | |
32 // | |
33 // 1 - Develop the feature with default behaviour off: | |
34 // | |
35 // if (FieldTrial::FindFullName("WebRTCExperimenMethod2") == "Enabled") | |
36 // method2(); | |
37 // else | |
38 // method1(); | |
39 // | |
40 // 2 - Once the changes are rolled to chrome, the new code path can be | |
41 // controlled as normal chrome field trials. | |
42 // | |
43 // 3 - Evaluate the new feature and clean the code paths. | |
44 // | |
45 // Notes: | |
46 // - NOT every feature is a candidate to be controlled by this mechanism as | |
47 // it may require negotation between involved parties (e.g. SDP). | |
48 // | |
49 // TODO(andresp): since chrome --force-fieldtrials does not marks the trial | |
50 // as active it does not gets propaged to renderer process. For now one | |
51 // needs to push a config with start_active:true or run a local finch | |
52 // server. | |
53 // | |
54 // TODO(andresp): find out how to get bots to run tests with trials enabled. | |
