Benchmark your class methods or functions

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

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; $i<$b->times(); $i++) {
            my_project_function("%s", "hello");
        }
    }

    /**
     * @benchmark
     */
    public function this_bench_instead_use_the_annotation($b) {
        for ($i=0; $i<$b->times(); $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

Just add a benchmark method in your testcases.

class MyTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    // Executed only by php-bench
    public function benchmarkMyAppMethod($b)
    {
        for ($i<0; $i<$b->times(); $i++) {
            sprintf("%s", "hello");
        }
    }

    public function testMyAppMethod()
    {
        // ...
        $this->assertEquals(...);
    }
}

Install with composer

You can use composer in order to get this library locally

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