1Talos is a python performance testing framework that is usable on Windows, 2Mac and Linux. Talos is our versatile performance testing framework we 3use at Mozilla. It was created to serve as a test runner for the existing 4performance tests that Mozilla was running back in 2007 as well as providing 5an extensible framework for new tests as they were created. 6 7So, why Talos? Talos is the bronze automaton of Greek myth. Talos protected 8the island of Crete, throwing giant boulders at unwary seamen. He's 9also purported to have heated himself glowing hot and then embraced his 10enemies. Basically, he was awesome. 11 12For more information, see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos 13
