nochso/benchmark creates pretty HTML benchmarks from any closures you supply:

- Generate HTML reports including Github flavoured Markdown
- Reliably compare different algorithms
- Run tests for a minimum amount of time to ensure stable results

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Install composer on Linux / Unix / OSX or Windows
2. Require this package via composer:

    ```
    composer require nochso/benchmark
    ```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Have a look at the [example reports](reports/).

A very simple example without parameters:

```
$report = new Report('My report name');
$unit = new Unit('Encryption speed');
$unit->addClosure(function ($n) {
    while ($n--) {
        $x = str_rot13('secret');
    }
}, 'rot13');
$unit->addClosure(function ($n) {
    while ($n--) {
        $x = str_rot13(str_rot13('secret'));
    }
}, 'rot26');
$report->unitList->add($unit);
$report->run();
```

This will generate and save a HTML report to folder `build` by default.

### Options

[](#options)

The Report constructor takes an optional third argument `$config`:

```
public function __construct($title, $description = '', $config = array())
```

If omitted, default options will be used. Otherwise your configuration will be merged with the defaults.

```
array(
    'template_dir' => 'template',
    'output_dir'   => 'build',
    'twig'         => array(
        'cache'            => 'cache/twig',
        'auto_reload'      => true,
        'strict_variables' => true,
    ),
)
```

You can also change the minimum duration of tests which defaults to 1000 millseconds (1 second):

```
\nochso\Benchmark\Timer::$defaultMinDuration = 1000;
```
