Benchmark your class methods or functions
=========================================

[](#benchmark-your-class-methods-or-functions)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/1677992f053cabebe0805941113bd02064ad7826305f16a9e7be5e72ba55f415/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f7764616c6d75742f7068702d62656e63682e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/wdalmut/php-bench)

Just a simple way to benchmark your class methods or functions.

```
./vendor/bin/bench run tests/
```

or with different paths

```
./vendor/bin/bench run tests/ benchs/
```

Declare a bench method
----------------------

[](#declare-a-bench-method)

Just create a method in a class starting with the `benchmark` keyword or use a simple `@benchmark` annotation in your doc-block.

```
class MyClass
{
    ...

    public function benchmarkUsingTheMethodName($b)
    {
        for ($i=0; $itimes(); $i++) {
            my_project_function("%s", "hello");
        }
    }

    /**
     * @benchmark
     */
    public function this_bench_instead_use_the_annotation($b) {
        for ($i=0; $itimes(); $i++) {
            $myObj->slowMethod("stub");
        }
    }
}
```

The `benchmark` method receive an object `b` from outside that contains the number of iterations that your bench function should run.

PHPUnit integration
-------------------

[](#phpunit-integration)

Just add a `benchmark` method in your testcases.

```
class MyTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    // Executed only by php-bench
    public function benchmarkMyAppMethod($b)
    {
        for ($iassertEquals(...);
    }
}
```

Install with composer
---------------------

[](#install-with-composer)

You can use composer in order to get this library locally

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "wdalmut/php-bench": "*"
    }
}
```
