Arvados

• Use the following command to run the performance test

RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake test:benchmark

• The following is the benchmark report after running the tests

BrowsingTest#test_homepage (9.95 sec warmup)
           wall_time: 2.01 sec
SearchTest#test_search (3.65 sec warmup)
           wall_time: 3.64 sec

There are two modes in which performance benchmark testing can be done: one to run in test mode and one to run against a running workbench instance (such as production).

1. Similar to other integration tests using the following command. This will run tests located in the arvados/apps/workbench/test/performance directory in RAILS_ENV=test mode. A jenkins task is also added for this.
   

   RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake test:benchmark

2. Against a configured workbench url using "RAILS_ENV=performance". Edit the performance block in application.default.yml to configure the workbench url and user token to be used.
   

   RAILS_ENV=performance bundle exec rake TEST=test/performance/*.rb

• After test is completed, the benchmark data will be stored in tmp/performance directory.

Merged code into master after getting Ward's green signal on the arvados-dev update.
