ScalaMeter is a microbenchmarking and performance regression testing framework for the JVM platform that allows expressing performance tests in a way which is both simple and concise.
It can be used both from Scala and Java.
  • write performance tests in a DSL similar to ScalaTest and ScalaCheck
  • specify test input data
  • specify how test results are collected
  • organize performance tests hierarchically


After writing a performance test, you run it. You can configure how the test is executed depending on whether you need to compare several alternatives, check for performance regressions or just obtain the running time of a simple microbenchmark.
  • decide how and where the tests are executed
  • automatically eliminate noise due to JIT compilation, garbage collection or undesired heap allocation patterns
  • customize test results reporting
  • save performance test results for later analysis
