BenchKit
========

[](#benchkit)

This package is part of Fruit Framework.

BenchKit is set of tools helping you benchmark your program.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0347536b75883b142de983ade2cb229270764321ee4385eed17302fa74de4cf8/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f526f6e6d692f62656e63686b69742e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/Ronmi/benchkit)

Synopsis
--------

[](#synopsis)

See `mybench.php` in `example` folder.

How to write benchmarks
-----------------------

[](#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
------------------------

[](#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
-------------------

[](#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](https://github.com/c9s/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

[](#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

[](#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

[](#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.
