Automatic performance testing of Scala libraries

Question

Do any Scala testing libraries help with performance tests? Can't find anything relevant in ScalaTest or specs.

Answer 1

ScalaMeter (hat tip to Alexandar Procopec): a microbenchmarking and performance regression testing framework for the JVM platform that allows expressing performance tests in a way which is both simple and concise.

• It can be used both from Scala and Java.
• write performance tests in a DSL similar to ScalaTest and ScalaCheck
• specify test input data
• specify how test results are collected
• organize performance tests hierarchically

SPerformance is heading towards this goal: http://github.com/jsuereth/sperformance/
