href="#Value">Value</a> concept provides the basic functionality:<br> 18 - association with a page, may be none<br> 19 - naming and units<br> 20 - importance tracking [whether a value will show up on a waterfall or output<br> 21 file by default]<br> 22 - other metadata, such as a description of what was measured<br> 23 - default conversion to scalar and string<br> 24 - merging properties<br> 25 <br> 26 A page may actually run a few times during a single telemetry session.<br> 27 Downstream consumers of test results typically want to group these runs<br> 28 together, then compute summary statistics across runs. <a href="#Value">Value</a> provides the<br> 29 Merge* family of methods for this kind of aggregation.</tt></p> 30 <p> 31 <table width="100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2
