# Minitest::Benchmark

Subclass `Benchmark` to create your own benchmark runs. Methods starting with “bench_” get executed on a per-class.

See `Minitest::Assertions`

### Public Class Methods

bench_exp(min, max, base = 10) click to toggle source

Returns a set of ranges stepped exponentially from `min` to `max` by powers of `base`. Eg:

    bench_exp(2, 16, 2) # => [2, 4, 8, 16]

                   # File minitest-5.13.0/lib/minitest/benchmark.rb, line 35
    def self.bench_exp min, max, base = 10
      min = (Math.log10(min) / Math.log10(base)).to_i
      max = (Math.log10(max) / Math.log10(base)).to_i

      (min..max).map { |m| base ** m }.to_a
    end

bench_linear(min, max, step = 10) click to toggle source

Returns a set of ranges stepped linearly from `min` to `max` by `step`. Eg:

    bench_linear(20, 40, 10) # => [20, 30, 40]

                   # File minitest-5.13.0/lib/minitest/benchmark.rb, line 48
    def self.bench_linear min, max, step = 10
      (min..max).step(step).to_a
    rescue LocalJumpError # 1.8.6
      r = []; (min..max).step(step) { |n| r << n }; r
    end

bench_range() click to toggle source

Specifies the ranges used for benchmarking for that class. Defaults to exponential growth from 1 to 10k by powers of 10. Override if you need different ranges for your benchmarks.

See also: `::bench_exp` and `::bench_linear`.

                   # File minitest-5.13.0/lib/minitest/benchmark.rb, line 61
    def self.bench_range
      bench_exp 1, 10_000
    end

### Public Instance Methods

assert_performance(validation, &work) click to toggle source

Runs the given `work`, gathering the times of each run. Range and times are then passed to a given `validation` proc. Outputs the benchmark name and times in tab-separated format, making it easy to paste into a spreadsheet for graphing or further analysis.

Ranges are specified by `::bench_range`.

Eg:

    def bench_algorithm
      validation = proc { |x, y| ... }
      assert_performance validation do |n|
        @obj.algorithm(n)
      end
    end

                   # File minitest-5.13.0/lib/minitest/benchmark.rb, line 83
    def assert_performance validation, &work
      range = self.class.bench_range

      io.print "#{self.name}"

      times = []

      range.each do |x|
        GC.start
        t0 = Minitest.clock_time
        instance_exec(x, &work)
        t = Minitest.clock_time - t0

        io.print "\t%9.6f" % t
        times << t
      end
      io.puts

      validation[range, times]
    end

assert_performance_constant(threshold = 0.99, &work) click to toggle source

Runs the given `work` and asserts that the times gathered fit to match a constant rate (eg, linear slope == 0) within a given `threshold`. Note: because we're testing for a slope of 0, R^2 is not a good determining factor for the fit, so the threshold is applied against the slope itself. As such, you probably want to tighten it from the default.

See www.graphpad.com/guides/prism/8/curve-fitting/reg_intepretingnonlinr2.htm for more details.

Fit is calculated by `fit_linear`.

Ranges are specified by `::bench_range`.

Eg:

    def bench_algorithm
      assert_performance_constant 0.9999 do |n|
        @obj.algorithm(n)
      end
    end

                   # File minitest-5.13.0/lib/minitest/benchmark.rb, line 127
    def assert_performance_constant threshold = 0.99, &work
      validation = proc do |range, times|
        a, b, rr = fit_linear range, times
        assert_in_delta 0, b, 1 - threshold
        [a, b, rr]
      end

      assert_performance validation, &work
    end

        @obj.algorithm(n)
      end
    end

                   # File minitest-5.13.0/lib/minitest/benchmark.rb, line 153
    def assert_performance_exponential threshold = 0.99, &work

Eg:

    def bench_algorithm
      assert_performance_logarithmic 0.9999 do |n|
        @obj.algorithm(n)
      end
