A simple example of using Benchmark.NET.
- Open you command line
- cd /bin/release/net5.0
- dotnet Benchmark.dll
When we work we performance, it isn't easy and it requires a lot of patience and a good knowledge of current performance.
Using benchmark before an optimization process is very useful because we can understand our position. In this way we can check if our changes have a good impact or not.
It's a measurement or set of it relating to the execution of a part of code or its little part.
Naturally, it isn't mandatory the use of a benchmark, sometimes we need a simple stopwatch (but we must know factors that can reduce the precision).
Once done you will get a results table. For each benchmarked method you’ll have a row with the result data.
Mean, it's the time mean of execution.
Other statistical data is available for the error and standard deviation of the timing data across the iterations.
