Continuous performance regression testing with JfrUnit | DevNation Tech Talk

Functional unit and integration tests are a common practice to detect and prevent regressions within a software component or application's behavior. Things look different, though, when it comes to performance-related aspects: how to identify an application is slower than it used to be? How to spot higher memory consumption than before? How to find out about sub-optimal SQL queries that sneaked in? Any performance tests based on metrics like wall-clock time or through-put are not portable.

Tips for writing portable assembler with GNU Assembler (GAS)
February 26, 2021Writing assembly code is straightforward when you are familiar with the targeted architecture’s instruction set, but what if you need to write the code for more than one architecture? For example, you might want to test whether a particular assembler feature is available, or generate an object file for use with another tool. Writing assembly […]
