Preamble

Idea: 83
Title: Energy Efficient Status
Status: In Progress
Created: 2018-02-19

Summary

A specific issue about the energy efficiency of different parts of Status (status-go, status-react, desktop (when running on a laptop battery).

Product Overview

Energy consumption is a crucial part of the mobile experience, and even though it is related to performance, it is worth having a separate. The end goal is:

to provide a toolkit and guidelines to test energy efficiency of different parts of an app on different platforms;
using this toolkit to fix the top battery drainers;
notice regressions early by having tests in place.

Goals

Create a BoK for Energy efficiency testing: https://github.com/orgs/status-im/projects/18 a. test apps are created for both Android and iOS b. test cases are written and tools are created to measure the energy efficiency of both Status client (status-react+status-go) and tests apps (status-go exclusively). c. tests are run on a regular basis d. (stretch goal) tests are automated for both platforms
Fix obvious issues with energy consumption https://github.com/orgs/status-im/projects/17

Exit criteria

We have test cases and tools to check the energy efficiency of status-go and status-react independently;
We can notice regressions/improvements caused, e.g. by updating the version of go-ethereum or new features of Status;
Top energy draining issues are identified and fixed.

Success Metrics

KR: (1) foreground energy consumption is < 120% of the apps in a similar class (messengers) (2) background energy consumption is < 120% of the apps in a similar class (messengers)

MVP(s)

MVP1 (docs & process): Create and integrate energy efficiency testing as a part of the release process (date: Mar, 30) MVP2 (development): Create a low-power background mode for status-go (date: Mar, 30)
