Synthetic performance AB test

118 views Asked by At

I have deployed two versions of our singlepage web app: one master (A) and one branch where are some changes which can affect somehow load time (B). The change is usually some new feature on front-end, refactoring, small performance optimization, etc. The difference is not so big and the load time varies much more from other reasons (a load of testing machines, a load of servers, network, etc). So webpagetest.org even with 9 tries varies much more (14-20s speedindex) than the real difference could be (0,5s in average for example).

Basically, I need one number which tells me - this feature increase/decrease load time.

Is there some tool which could measure such differences?

My idea was to deploy Webpagetest to a server with minimal load and run Webpagetest randomly on both versions at the same time so I avoid most of the noise. Make a lot of samples (1000+) and check average(or median) value.

But before I start working on that I would like to ask if there is some service which solves that problem.
