Gilles commented on LANG-1373:
------------------------------
bq. But I would find that confusing. "Testing" is a meaningful word. and it
looks like that is what that projects current modules are for.
*I* have no problem more components.
What would "Commons Perf" contain in addition to {{StackWatch}}?
bq. Commons Testing is all about unit testing.
If the intended scope is unit testing, then perhaps call it "Commons Unit
Testing". ;)
Examining code performance is also viewed as "testing". Nothing particularly
shocking in having a module {{commons-testing-performance}}. Of course, care
should be taken to segregate general-purpose utilities from those that drag
dependencies such as Junit.
> Stopwatch based capability for nested, named, timings in a call stack

> While working on adding some timing functionality to a Metron feature, I came
> across the
> Stopwatch class, but found that it didn’t suite my needs.
> What I wanted to do was to create a timing from a top level function in our
> Stellar dsl, and have have a group of related timings, such that the end
> result was the overall time of the call, and nested timings of other calls
> executed during the dsl execution of that function. These timings would all
> be named, and have a path for identification and include timing the language
> compiler/execution as well as the function execution itself. It would be
> helpful if they were tagged in some way as well, such that the consumer could
> filter during visitation.
> So I have written StackWatch to provide this functionality, and submitted it
> in a Metron PR.
> From the PR description:
> StackWatch
> A set of utility classes under the new package stellar.common.timing have
> been added. These provide the StackWatch functionality.
> StackWatch provides an abstraction over the Apache Commons StopWatch class
> that allows callers to create multiple named and possibly nested timing
> operations.
> <…>
> This class may be more generally useful to this and other projects, but I am
> not sure where it would live since we wouldn’t want it in common.
> StackWatch uses a combination of Deque and a custom Tree implementation to
> create, start and end timing operations.
> A Visitor pattern is also implemented to allow for retrieving the results
> after the completion of the operation.
