pytest-monitor
Pytest-monitor is a pytest plugin designed for analyzing resource usage.
Features
- Analyze your resources consumption through test functions:
- memory consumption
- time duration
- CPU usage
- Keep a history of your resource consumption measurements.
- Compare how your code behaves between different environments.
Usage
Simply run pytest as usual: pytest-monitor is active by default as soon as it is installed. After running your first session, a .pymon sqlite database will be accessible in the directory where pytest was run.
Example of information collected for the execution context:
| ENV_H | CPU_COUNT | CPU_FREQUENCY_MHZ | CPU_TYPE | CPU_VENDOR | RAM_TOTAL_MB | MACHINE_NODE | MACHINE_TYPE | MACHINE_ARCH | SYSTEM_INFO | PYTHON_INFO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Here is an example of collected data stored in the result database:

Documentation
A full documentation is available.
Installation
You can install pytest-monitor via conda (through the conda-forge channel):
$ conda install pytest-monitor -c https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge
Another possibility is to install pytest-monitor via pip from PyPI:
$ pip install pytest-monitor
Requirements
You will need a valid Python 3.5+ interpreter. To get measures, we rely on:
- psutil to extract CPU usage
- memory_profiler to collect memory usage
- and pytest (obviously!)
Note: this plugin doesn't work with unittest
Storage backends
By default, pytest-monitor stores its result in a local SQLite3 local database, making results accessible. If you need a more powerful way to analyze your results, checkout the monitor-server-api which brings both a REST Api for storing and historize your results and an API to query your data. An alternative service (using MongoDB) can be used thanks to a contribution from @dremdem: pytest-monitor-backend.
Contributing
Contributions are very welcome. Tests can be run with tox. Before submitting a pull request, please ensure that:
- both internal tests and examples are passing.
- internal tests have been written if necessary.
- if your contribution provides a new feature, make sure to provide an example and update the documentation accordingly.
