Abstract
The goal of performance regression testing is to check for performance regressions in a new version of a software system. Performance regression testing is an important phase in the software development process. Performance regression testing is very time consuming yet there is usually little time assigned for it. A typical test run would output thousands of performance counters. Testers usually have to manually inspect these counters to identify performance regressions. In this paper, we propose an approach to analyze performance counters across test runs using a statistical process control technique called control charts. We evaluate our approach using historical data of a large software team as well as an open-source software project. The results show that our approach can accurately identify performance regressions in both software systems. Feedback from practitioners is very promising due to the simplicity and ease of explanation of the results.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
