Performance Review Criteria 3: Scales to the task 1

To scale or not to scale. That is the question. When talking about algorithmic complexity, the answer to said question is usually an important one. No matter what the constant factors are that affect your algorithm's speed, poor scaling performance severely limits the scope of the problems you can solve. How do you measure your code's runtime complexity? If you don't have a good method for this (or even if you do!) then once again the performance testing framework is on your side. I wasamazedwhen I learned of thisone weird trickto measure the complexity of my algorithms....read more >>

Performance Review Criteria 2: Sticks to Solid Principles 1

We sawlast timehow we can use the performance testing framework to easily see the runtime differences between multiple competing algorithms. This can be done without needing to learn about the philosophies and guiding principles of the framework, indeed you don't even need to know that you are using a performance test framework or that the script you are writing is actually even considered a "test"....read more >>
