// Field trials allow webrtc clients (such as Chrome) to turn on feature code
// in binaries out in the field and gather information with that.
//
// By default WebRTC provides an implementation of field trials that can be
// found in system_wrappers/source/field_trial.cc. If clients want to provide
// a custom version, they will have to:
//
// 1. Compile WebRTC defining the preprocessor macro
// WEBRTC_EXCLUDE_FIELD_TRIAL_DEFAULT (if GN is used this can be achieved
// by setting the GN arg rtc_exclude_field_trial_default to true).
// 2. Provide an implementation of:
// std::string webrtc::field_trial::FindFullName(const std::string& trial).
//
// They are designed to wire up directly to chrome field trials and to speed up
// developers by reducing the need to wire APIs to control whether a feature is
// on/off. E.g. to experiment with a new method that could lead to a different
// trade-off between CPU/bandwidth:
//
// 1 - Develop the feature with default behaviour off:
//
// if (FieldTrial::FindFullName("WebRTCExperimentMethod2") == "Enabled")
// method2();
// else
// method1();
//
// 2 - Once the changes are rolled to chrome, the new code path can be
// controlled as normal chrome field trials.
//
// 3 - Evaluate the new feature and clean the code paths.
//
// Notes:
// - NOT every feature is a candidate to be controlled by this mechanism as
// it may require negotiation between involved parties (e.g. SDP).
//
// TODO(andresp): since chrome --force-fieldtrials does not marks the trial
// as active it does not get propagated to the renderer process. For now one
// needs to push a config with start_active:true or run a local finch
// server.
//
// TODO(andresp): find out how to get bots to run tests with trials enabled.
