Performance Testing using xUnit framework

Question

I wonder if it is possible to run performance testing based on xUnit?

Answer 1

For JUnit, you might look at JUnitPerf.

If you're working in a different language and a different xUnit, the JunitPerf design concept (decorating normal JUnit tests) and code might give ideas of how to do the same in your language.

Answer 2

Not sure what exactly you asking, but you can easily write your own custom attribute to do that. For an example..

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = false)]
public class TraceAttribute : BeforeAfterTestAttribute
{

    public override void Before(MethodInfo methodUnderTest)
    {
        //Start timer
    }


    public override void After(MethodInfo methodUnderTest)
    {
        //End timer
    }
}

Then decorate your Unit Test with the this attribute. Also make sure you write to an output ;)

Now there is a project on Github : https://github.com/Microsoft/xunit-performance

It provides extensions over xUnit to author performance tests (benchmark).
