FAQPage Schema
How do I run a microbenchmark to compare two .NET methods?

To run a microbenchmark comparing .NET methods, execute a release build command with method filters. This automates performance measurement and side-by-side comparisons across different runtime conditions using BenchmarkDotNet.

What is microbenchmarking used for in .NET application development?

Microbenchmarking in .NET is used for performance analysis and optimization. It enables precise runtime performance comparison across different conditions, guiding development feedback and benchmark lifecycle iteration.

Can I compare different runtime and package versions with BenchmarkDotNet?

Yes, you can compare different runtime versions, package versions, and builds. The framework facilitates side-by-side comparison strategies to evaluate runtime performance differences across varying .NET conditions.

Do I need to install BenchmarkDotNet to use this microbenchmarking framework?

Yes, you need BenchmarkDotNet for execution. The framework leverages BenchmarkDotNet as its underlying dependency to automate the creation and execution of precise .NET microbenchmarks.

What job presets are available for .NET performance analysis scenarios?

Available job presets for .NET performance analysis include Dry, Short, Medium, and Long scenarios. These presets offer different benchmark configurations to tailor measurement precision and execution time.
