public abstract class TimeContext
extends TestContext

This class represents a test context specialized for measuring execution time.

TimeContext implementations may perform assertions based upon the execution time. For example:

 
     class MyTestCase extends TestCase() {
          ...
          protected void validate() {
              long ns = TimeContext.getAverageTime("ns");
              TestContext.assertTrue(ns < 100); // Error if execution time is more than 100 ns.
              ... 
          }
     }

Field Summary

static Configurable<Class<? extends TimeContext>>	DEFAULT Holds the time context default implementation (by default logs average and minimum execution time to System.out).
static Class<? extends TimeContext>	REGRESSION Holds an implementation which does not perform any logging but raises an AssertionException when an assertion fails, including any timing assertion.
static Configurable<Integer>	TEST_DURATION_MS Holds the minimum duration of each test execution (default 1000 ms).

Field Detail

REGRESSION

public static final Class<? extends TimeContext> REGRESSION

Holds an implementation which does not perform any logging but raises an AssertionException when an assertion fails, including any timing assertion.

TEST_DURATION_MS

public static final Configurable<Integer> TEST_DURATION_MS

Holds the minimum duration of each test execution (default 1000 ms). The larger the number the more accurate is the average time result; but the longer it takes to run the tests.

DEFAULT

public static final Configurable<Class<? extends TimeContext>> DEFAULT

Holds the time context default implementation (by default logs average and minimum execution time to System.out).

Constructor Detail

TimeContext

public TimeContext()

Method Detail

enter

public static void enter()

Enters the DEFAULT time context.

exit

public static void exit()

Exits the current time context.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the context is not a time context.

getMinimumTime

public static long getMinimumTime(String unit)

Returns the minimum execution time of the latest execution performed or -1 if the current context is not a time context.

Parameters:

unit - one of "s", "ms", "us", "ns", "ps"

Returns:

the minimum execution time stated in the specified unit.

getAverageTime

public static long getAverageTime(String unit)

Returns the average execution time of the latest execution performed or -1 if the current context is not a time context.

Parameters:

unit - one of "s", "ms", "us", "ns", "ps"

Returns:

the average execution time stated in the specified unit.

getMaximumTime

public static long getMaximumTime(String unit)

Returns the maximum execution time of the latest execution performed or -1 if the current context is not a time context.

Parameters:

unit - one of "s", "ms", "us", "ns", "ps"

Returns:

the maximum execution time stated in the specified unit.

getMinimumTimeInPicoSeconds

public long getMinimumTimeInPicoSeconds()

Returns the minimum execution time of the latest execution stated in pico-seconds.

Returns:

the time in pico-seconds.

getAverageTimeInPicoSeconds

public long getAverageTimeInPicoSeconds()

Returns the average execution time of the latest execution stated in pico-seconds.

Returns:

the time in pico-seconds.

getMaximumTimeInPicoSeconds

public long getMaximumTimeInPicoSeconds()

Returns the maximmum execution time of the latest execution stated in pico-seconds.

Returns:

the time in pico-seconds.

doRun

protected void doRun(TestCase testCase)
              throws Exception

Benchmarks the specified test case and logs the results.

Overrides:

doRun in class TestContext

Parameters:

testCase - the test case being executed if not marked ignored.

Throws:

Exception
