2021-04-28perf-test: add option to run perfDavid Bremner
Although the generation of perf data is not as slow as valgrind, it seems simplest to re-use the machinery already there to save the logs in a timestamped subdirectory.
2016-06-05Use https instead of http where possibleDaniel Kahn Gillmor
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs found in tests.
2012-12-25perf-test: initial version of memory test infrastructure.David Bremner
The idea is run some code under valgrind --leak-check=full and report a summary, leaving the user to peruse the log file if they want. We go to some lengths to preserve the log files from accidental overwriting; the full corpus takes about 3 hours to run under valgrind on my machine. The naming of the log directories may be slightly controversial; in the unlikely event of two runs in less than a second, the log will be overwritten. A previous version with mktemp+timestamp was dismissed as overkill; just mktemp alone does not sort nicely. One new test is included, to check notmuch new for memory leaks.
2012-12-25perf-test: rename current tests as "time tests"David Bremner
This is almost entirely renaming files, except for updating a few references to those file names, and changing the makefile target. A new set of memory tests will be run separately because they take much longer.
2012-12-15perf-test: split basic into 00-new, 01-dump-restore, and 02-tagDavid Bremner
We use the new "time_start" function to restore the database from cache if possible.
2012-12-15perf-test: update READMEDavid Bremner
Describe new argument parsing and mention cache handling routines.
2012-11-29performance-test/README: update instructions for fetching corpus.David Bremner
It turns out not everybody on the planet has my gpg key.
2012-11-26test: initial performance testing infrastructureDavid Bremner
This is not near as fancy as as the unit tests, on the theory that the code should typically be crashing when performance tuning. Nonetheless, there is plenty of room for improvement. Several more of the pieces of the test infrastructure (e.g. the option parsing) could be factored out into test/test-lib-common.sh
