+# Benchmark tests and skipping features
+
+This directory contains the example of:
+- how to run **without test features**, and use your preferred `testing` package (standard library and testify included in example)
+  * When skipping features, you will not receive any benefit from the `features` related setup or teardown `envfuncs`, but you will still be able to access a kubernetes config (`envconfig`) to create a client that has access to the expected test cluster.
+- how to run Go **Test Benchmarks**, e.g. via `go test -bench=.`
+
+# Skipping features
+
+```go
+func BenchmarkListPods(b *testing.B) {
+	client, err := testenv.EnvConf().NewClient()
+	// ...your client is ready you use -- or use the `*rest.Config` to create your preferred client
+}
+
+func TestExample(t *testing.T) {
+	client, err := testenv.EnvConf().NewClient()
+	// ...
+}
+```
+
+
+# Run Tests with flags
+
+These test cases can be executed using the normal `go test -bench=-` command by passing the right arguments
+
+```bash
+go test -bench=. -v .
+```
+
+With the output generated as following.
+
+```bash
+goos: <YOUR_OS>
+goarch: <YOUR_ARCH>
+pkg: sigs.k8s.io/e2e-framework/examples/benchmark_tests
+cpu: <YOUR_CPU_TYPE>
