A Real World Demo (.NET Collections Benchmark)

A comprehensive performance comparison benchmark between different .NET collections.

Getting Started

1. Install Package

PM> Install-Package BenchmarkDotNetVisualizer

2. Using Exporters

Example 1 (JSON Serializers Benchmark)

BenchmarkRunner.Run<JsonSerializersBenchmark>();

//Exports colorful image
[RichImageExporter(
    title: "Json Serializers Benchmark", 
    groupByColumns: ["Method"],             // Groups by 'Method' column and highlights groups
    spectrumColumns: ["Mean", "Allocated"], // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum and Sorts the result by them 
    //format: ImageFormat.Webp or Jpeg      // You can set image format (Default is ImageFormat.Png)
)]  

//Exports feature-rich HTML
[RichHtmlExporter(
    title: "Json Serializers Benchmark", 
    groupByColumns: ["Method"],             // Groups by 'Method' column and highlights groups
    spectrumColumns: ["Mean", "Allocated"]  // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum and Sorts the result by them 
    //sortByColumns: ["Mean", "Allocated"]  // You can also sort by other columns as you wish
)]

[MemoryDiagnoser(displayGenColumns: false)] // Displays Allocated column (without GC per Generation columns (Gen 0, Gen 1, Gen 2) due to false option)
public class JsonSerializersBenchmark { ... }

Output:

To see the results, navigate to the following path:

[ProjectDirectory]\bin\[Debug|Release]\[.NET-version]\BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts\results\Benchmark-report-rich.html|png

3. Using Extensions methods on benchmark's Summary

var summary = BenchmarkRunner.Run<JsonSerializersBenchmark>(); 

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\JsonSerializers\Benchmark.html
var htmlFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\JsonSerializers\Benchmark.html");

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\JsonSerializers\Benchmark.png
var imageFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\JsonSerializers\Benchmark.png");
await summary.SaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync(
    htmlPath: htmlFileName, 
    imagePath: imageFileName,
    options: new ReportHtmlOptions
    {
        Title = "Json Serializers Benchmark",
        GroupByColumns = ["Method"],                          // Groups by 'Method' column and highlights groups
        SpectrumColumns = ["Mean", "Allocated"],              // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum
        DividerMode = RenderTableDividerMode.EmptyDividerRow, // Separates tables by Empty Divider Row
        HtmlWrapMode = HtmlDocumentWrapMode.Simple            // Uses simple HTML table
    });

Example 2 (Iterators for/foreach/ForEach() Benchmark)

Note (Recommended to use BenchmarkAutoRunner instead of BenchmarkRunner):

BenchmarkAutoRunner is similar to BenchmarkRunner but uses Job.Dry with InProcessEmitToolchain for DEBUG Mode (due to ease of debugging) and your defined job for RELEASE Mode Also it Warns you if you are running project incorrectly (For example running with Attached Debugger while RELEASE Mode is enabled)

//BenchmarkAutoRunner is similar to BenchmarkRunner but uses Job.Dry with InProcessEmitToolchain for DEBUG Mode (due to ease of debugging) and your defined job for RELEASE Mode
//Also it Warns you if you are running project incorrectly (For example running with Attached Debugger while RELEASE Mode is enabled)
var summary = BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<IteratorsBenchmark>(); //Recommend instead use BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<IteratorsBenchmark>();

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Iterators\Benchmark.html
var htmlFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Iterators\Benchmark.html");

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Iterators\Benchmark.png
var imageFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Iterators\Benchmark.png");

await summary.SaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync(
    htmlPath: htmlFileName,
    imagePath: imageFileName,
    options: new ReportHtmlOptions
    {
        Title = "Performance Comparison between for, foreach, and ForEeach() method",
        GroupByColumns = ["Runtime"],                        // Groups by column 'Runtime'
        SpectrumColumns = ["Mean", "Allocated"],             // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum
        DividerMode = RenderTableDividerMode.SeparateTables, // Separates tables by Grouping by 'GroupByColumns'
        HtmlWrapMode = HtmlDocumentWrapMode.RichDataTables,  // Uses feature-rich https://datatables.net plugin
    });

4. Using JoinReports method to Join and Pivot reports

Example 3 (Performance comparison between for, foreach, and ForEach() in different versions of .NET)

//BenchmarkAutoRunner is similar to BenchmarkRunner but uses Job.Dry with InProcessEmitToolchain for DEBUG Mode (due to ease of debugging) and your defined job for RELEASE Mode
//Also it Warns you if you are running project incorrectly (For example running with Attached Debugger while RELEASE Mode is enabled)
var summary = BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<IteratorsBenchmark>(); //Recommend instead use BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<IteratorsBenchmark>();

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime.html
var htmlFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime.html");

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime.png
var imageFileName = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Iterators\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime.png");

await summary.JoinReportsAndSaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync(
    htmlPath: htmlFileName,
    imagePath: imageFileName,
    options: new JoinReportHtmlOptions
    {
        Title = "Performance Comparison between for, foreach, and ForEeach() method",
        MainColumn = "Method",
        GroupByColumns = ["Categories", "Length"],           // Groups by column 'Categories' and 'Length'
        PivotProperty = "Runtime",
        StatisticColumns = ["Mean"],
        ColumnsOrder = [".NET Core 3.0", ".NET Core 3.1", ".NET 5.0", ".NET 6.0", ".NET 7.0", ".NET 8.0"], // Order of columns 
        DividerMode = RenderTableDividerMode.SeparateTables, //Separates tables by Grouping by 'GroupByColumns'
        HtmlWrapMode = HtmlDocumentWrapMode.RichDataTables,  //Uses feature-rich https://datatables.net plugin
    });
