Regular, automated testing at on all target platforms.
As a software engineer I want to incorporate regular performance testing into my development cycle so that I am able to maintain or improve performance on modern architectures.
| Score | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Current performance testing practice, e.g., no regular performance testing |
| 1 | Irregular, manual, performance evaluation to identify bottlenecks on a single system |
| 2 | Regular (e.g., monthly) manual performance testing on a single system |
| 3 | Regular (e.g., monthly) manual performance testing on several target HPC systems |
| 4 | Partially automated performance testing on several target HPC systems |
| 5 | Completely automated, regular (e.g., nightly) performance testing on all target HPC systems; designated team member monitors results and creates issues as software components are changed, added, or removed or new hardware platforms are targeted. |
- The Performance Regression Testing Card has details on developing a performance regression tests itself.
