Benchmark Asynchronous Code (Benchmark.js, Node.js)

Question

I\'d like to use the Benchmark.js module to test some asynchronous code written in node.js. Specifically, I want to fire ~10,000 requests to two servers (one written in nod

It's not very well documented, but here's a PoC:

var Benchmark = require('benchmark');
var suite     = new Benchmark.Suite();

suite.add(new Benchmark('foo', {
  // a flag to indicate the benchmark is deferred
  defer : true,

  // benchmark test function
  fn : function(deferred) {
    setTimeout(function() {
      deferred.resolve();
    }, 200);
  }
})).on('complete', function() {
  console.log(this[0].stats);
}).run();

Benchmark.js v2 slightly changes the syntax:

var Benchmark = require('benchmark');
var suite = new Benchmark.Suite;

suite.add('foo', {
  defer: true,
  fn: function (deferred) {
    setTimeout(function() {
      deferred.resolve();
    }, 200);
  }
}).on('complete', function () {
  console.log(this[0].stats)
}).run()
