KoPeMe is a framework for enabling performance tests in Java. This makes it possible to live a software development process where performance measures are taken continously and therefore react continously to changes in performance. With continous performance testing, one avoids refactorings after performance problems occured in a big testing phase before releasing the software.

KoPeMe got three possibilities to enable performance tests in Java:

• Using JUnit 4 with the performance test runner, by adding @RunWith(PerformanceTestRunnerJUnit.class) as annotation at class level
• Using JUnit 4 with the rule, by adding @Rule public TestRule rule = new KoPeMeRule(this); as instance variable to the class
• Using Junit 5 with the extension, by adding @ExtendWith(KoPeMeExtension.class) as annotation at class level
• Using JUnit 3, using extends KoPeMeTestcase (instead extends TestCase). This is mainly for compatibility with old software and is not recommended for daily use.
• Using kopeme-core, by running PerformanceTestRunnerKoPeMe for a class with performance tests

One of these variants should be enabled.

Additionally, the test should be annotated, e.g. like

@Test
@PerformanceTest(iterations = 500, warmup = 500, repetitions = 100)
public void measureMe() {

The usual JUnit test annotation should still be added if JUnit tests are measured.

The workload inside the test is repeated repetitions*iterations times, and iterations duration measurements are done (each after repetitions executions). Before this, repetitions*warmup workload executions are done without measurement (for warming up the current VM).

For JUnit 4 or 5 tests, please add

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.dagere.kopeme</groupId>
    <artifactId>kopeme-junit</artifactId>
    <version>0.13</version>
</dependency>

to your build.

For JUnit 3 tests, please add

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.dagere.kopeme</groupId>
    <artifactId>kopeme-junit3</artifactId>
    <version>0.13</version>
</dependency>

to your build.

After measurement, in your KOPEME_HOME-folder, a result-file will be placed. It will be extended by new results in every new run. If you don't define KOPEME_HOME-folder, the file will be placed in your HOME-Folder in .KoPeMe.
