Method: Minitest::Benchmark#assert_performance_constant

Defined in:
lib/minitest/benchmark.rb

#assert_performance_constant(threshold = 0.99, &work) ⇒ Object

Runs the given work and asserts that the times gathered fit to match a constant rate (eg, linear slope == 0) within a given threshold. Note: because we’re testing for a slope of 0, R^2 is not a good determining factor for the fit, so the threshold is applied against the slope itself. As such, you probably want to tighten it from the default.

See www.graphpad.com/guides/prism/8/curve-fitting/reg_intepretingnonlinr2.htm for more details.

Fit is calculated by #fit_linear.

Ranges are specified by ::bench_range.

Eg:

def bench_algorithm
  assert_performance_constant 0.9999 do |n|
    @obj.algorithm(n)
  end
end
