php-benchmark

php-benchmark is a php framework to messure the performance of functions or class-methods.

Version: 1.0beta1

Using the php-benchmark API

<?php
  require_once 'Benchmark/Benchmark.php'
  require_once 'Benchmark/Observer/Gui.php'

  $benchmark = new Benchmark('benchmark name', 'description of the benchmark');

  $benchmark->addTarget(new BenchmarkFunction('name', array(), 'description'));
  $benchmark->addTarget(new BenchmarkMethod('MyClass', array(), 'doSomething', array(), 'description));

  $benchmark->setIterations(200);
  $benchmark->attach(new Gui());
  $benchmark->run();

The php-benchmark is callable by the console php my-benchmark.php or by loading the script in a browser.

Upcoming features

• Sometimes its important, to ensure all methods/functions return the same result. therefor $benchmark->expectSameResults(true)
• Result logging. Sometimes i'd like to know if changes on my function/method improve the performance.

Requirements

php-benchmark is tested with

• php 5.3.3
• php 5.2.14

Support

I'm sure the files contain programming errors and lots of English language mistakes. Find them and send them to me ;-)
