Benchmarking Tools

Benchmarking tools are software applications or libraries used to measure and compare the performance, speed, and efficiency of systems, applications, or code. They help developers identify bottlenecks, optimize performance, and ensure software meets performance requirements by running standardized tests and collecting metrics like execution time, memory usage, and throughput.

Also known as: Performance Testing Tools, Profiling Tools, Benchmark Software, Perf Tools, Speed Testing Tools
🧊Why learn Benchmarking Tools?

Developers should use benchmarking tools during performance testing, optimization phases, and when comparing different implementations or hardware. They are essential for web applications, databases, and system software to ensure scalability, improve user experience, and meet service-level agreements (SLAs) by detecting inefficiencies early in development.
