nose-performance

nose-performance is a handy performance testing plugin for Nose. Its main job? To keep an eye on how your network applications, like databases and memcache, are doing. Pretty cool, right?

Integrate with Zumanji

This plugin works well with Zumanji to help you report and save your test results. It’s like having an extra set of eyes on your performance!

Create Your Tests

If you're looking to create some tests, you can inherit from PerformanceTest. Here’s a quick example:

from noseperf.testcases import PerformanceTest

  

  class MyTest(PerformanceTest):

      def test_redis(self):

          client = Redis()

          for x in xrange(2 ** 16):

              client.add('test-%x' % x, '1')

Run Your Test Suite

To run your test suite with the performance option, just use this command:

python runtests.py --with-performance example/

(We use runtests.py because it helps us check our Django hooks.)

Your Results Are Saved!

The results get recorded by default in test_results/performance.json. You can check it out using:

ls -lh test_results

   total 2128

Explore More Tests!

You can find more tests included in the example/. Also, if you're curious about what else you can do, try running nosetests --help | grep performance.
