Performance Regression Test - Score Director #68

Performance Regression Test - Score Director

Performance Regression Test - Score Director #68

# - Runs entirely on a single machine.
# - The baseline is established first, then the branch under test is measured.
# - Each benchmark gives a 99.9 % confidence interval.
# - The confidence intervals are compared to determine if the branch under test is a regression or an improvement.
# - The error threshold is expected to be below +/- 2.5 %.
# We have yet to see an error of over +/- 4 %.
# With the error so high, the impact is that small regressions are not considered statistically significant.
