*Benchmarking made easy*

CalipeL is a simple tool to ease development and maintenance

of benchmarks and performance regressions. CalipeL has been heavily 

inspired by [SUnit][1] and [Caliper][2]

The basic ideas that drove the development:

- Benchmarking and (especially) interpreting benchmark results is always

  a monkey business. The tool should produce raw numbers, letting the 

  user to use whichever statistics she needs to make up (desired) results. 

- Benchmark results should be kept and managed at a single place so one

  can view and retrieve all past benchmark results pretty much the same

  way as one can view and retrieve past versions of the software from 

  a source code management tool. 

## Features

- *simple* - creating a benchmark is as simple as writing a method in a class

- *flexible* - a special set-up and/or warm-up routines could be specified at benchmark-level as well as set of parameters to allow fine-grained measurements

under different conditions 

- *batch runner* - contains a batch runner allowing one to run benchmarks from a command line or at CI servers such as Jenkins. 

- *web* - comes with simple web interface to gather and process benchmark results. [Example...](https://swing.fit.cvut.cz/calipel)
