README

This package is part of Fruit Framework.

BenchKit is set of tools helping you benchmark your program.

Synopsis

See mybench.php in example folder.

How to write benchmarks

A benchmark test must be function or public method. It must receive only one parameter with type-hinting.

Organize your benchmarks

Benchmarks are grouped by their class. So it's suggested to put different group of benchmarks into different files.

Benchmark function are collected into an unnamed group.

Command line helper

bench is command line benchmark runner. It will scan specified directory recursivly, find out all benchmark functions, and run. For example:

bench run example

Thanks to CLIFramework, you can run bench help run to see supported command line arguments.

bench does not support construct arguments, you have to write your own benchmark executor to register benchmarks and run it.

XHProf

You can gather xhprof data when running benchmarks with default command line runner by

• enable --xhprof option and
• use Fruit\BenchKit\Formatter\XhprofSummary summary formatter.

Passing constructor arguments to formatter

You can pass a string as constructor argument to formatter with --sa and --pa options.

Generate multiple summary without running benchmarks several times

Use Fruit\BenchKit\Formatter\ChainSummary, and pass constructor argument to specify what formatters you want.

bench run -s 'Fruit\BenchKit\Formatter\ChainSummary' --sa '{"chain":["Fruit\\BenchKit\\Formatter\\HighChartSummary":"{\"type\":\"time\"}", "Fruit\\BenchKit\\Formatter\\XhprofSummary":""]}' -p 'Fruit\BenchKit\Formatter\NullProgressLogger' example > /tmp/chart.html

Beware about shell escaping and php string escaping because builtin formatters accepts argument in JSON format. Use --argdebug when in doubt.
