Abstract:
Although methods and tools for unit testing of performance exist for over a decade, anecdotal evidence suggests unit testing of performance is not nearly as common as unit testing of functionality. We examine this situation in a study of GitHub projects written in Java, looking for occurrences of performance evaluation code in common performance testing frameworks. We quantify the use of such frameworks, identifying the most relevant performance testing approaches, and describe how we adjust the design of our SPL performance testing framework to follow these conclusions.
