Description
When comparing two benchmarks, we used to always have this black and white view of the result: either their significant or they are not. Which in some cases it can be a form of injustice, for instance a p-value of 0.053 would be considered insignificant, thus marked in flashy red, and the delta would not be highlighted, even though the p-value is very close to our threshold (0.050).
Instead, we now have four different level of statistical significance in the UI:
Statistically Significant
(p <= 0.01),Moderate Significance
(p <= 0.05),Marginal Significance
(p <= 0.1),Not Statistically Significant
(p > 0.1).Before
