Getting Started

1. Install Package

PM> Install-Package BenchmarkDotNetVisualizer

2. Using Methods (Recommended)

Methods:

SaveAsImageAsync()
SaveAsHtmlAsync()
SaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync()

Example:

var summary = BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<JsonSerializersBenchmark>(); //Prefer to use BenchmarkAutoRunner instead of BenchmarkRunner

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Benchmark-Dark.html
var htmlPath = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Benchmark-Dark.html");

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\Benchmark-Dark.png
var imgPath = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\Benchmark-Dark.png");

var options = new ReportHtmlOptions
{
    Title = "Json Serializers Benchmark",
    GroupByColumns = ["Method"],                          // Groups by 'Method' column and highlights groups
    SpectrumColumns = ["Mean", "Allocated"],              // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum
    DividerMode = RenderTableDividerMode.EmptyDividerRow, // Separates tables by Empty Divider Row
    HtmlWrapMode = HtmlDocumentWrapMode.Simple,           // Uses simple HTML table
    Theme = Theme.Dark                                    // Optional (Default is Dark)
};

await summary.SaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync(htmlPath, imgPath, options);

Note: Use BenchmarkAutoRunner to Run your benchmarks

Prefer to use BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run() instead of BenchmarkRunner.Run() to run your benchmarks. BenchmarkAutoRunner is similar to BenchmarkRunner, but is Smarter!

BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<JsonSerializersBenchmark>();
// Instead of 
//BenchmarkRunner.Run<JsonSerializersBenchmark>();

Output HTML:

Output Image:

3. Or Using Exporters

Note: prefer to use previous (recommended) methods.

Exporters:

[RichImageExporter]
[RichHtmlExporter]

Example:

BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<JsonSerializersBenchmark>(); //Prefer to use BenchmarkAutoRunner instead of BenchmarkRunner

//Export to colorful image
[RichImageExporter(
    title: "Json Serializers Benchmark", 
    groupByColumns: ["Method"],             // Groups by 'Method' column and highlights groups
    spectrumColumns: ["Mean", "Allocated"], // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum and Sorts the result by them 
    //format: ImageFormat.Webp or Jpeg      // You can set image format (Default is ImageFormat.Png)
    //theme: Theme.Dark                     // Optional (Default is Dark)
)]  

//Export to feature-rich HTML
[RichHtmlExporter(
    title: "Json Serializers Benchmark", 
    groupByColumns: ["Method"],             // Groups by 'Method' column and highlights groups
    spectrumColumns: ["Mean", "Allocated"]  // Colorizes 'Mean' and 'Allocated' columns as Spectrum and Sorts the result by them 
    //sortByColumns: ["Mean", "Allocated"]  // You can also sort by other columns as you wish
    //theme: Theme.Dark                     // Optional (Default is Dark)
)]

[MemoryDiagnoser(displayGenColumns: false)] // Displays Allocated column (without GC per Generation columns (Gen 0, Gen 1, Gen 2) due to false option)
public class JsonSerializersBenchmark { ... }

Output:

To see the results, navigate to the following path:

[ProjectDirectory]\bin\[Debug|Release]\[.NET-version]\BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts\results\Benchmark-report-rich.html|png

For Example:

MyBenchmark\bin\Release\net8.0\BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts\results\Benchmark-report-rich.png
MyBenchmark\bin\Release\net8.0\BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts\results\Benchmark-report-rich.html

Using JoinReports method to Join and Pivot your reports

Example:

Performance benchmark between for, foreach, and ForEach() in different versions of .NET

Pivot by Method column

var summary = BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<IterationBenchmark>(); //Prefer to use BenchmarkAutoRunner instead of BenchmarkRunner

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Method-Dark.html
var htmlPath = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Method-Dark.html");

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Method-Dark.png
var imagePath = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Method-Dark.png");

var options = new JoinReportHtmlOptions
{
    Title = "Performance Comparison between for, foreach, and ForEach() method",
    MainColumn = "Runtime",
    GroupByColumns = ["Categories", "Length"],           // Groups by column 'Categories' and 'Length'
    PivotColumn = "Method",                              // Pivot 'Method' column per value of 'Mean'
    StatisticColumns = ["Mean"],                         // Colorizes 'Mean' columns as Spectrum
    ColumnsOrder = ["for", "foreach", "ForEach()"],      // Order of columns
    DividerMode = RenderTableDividerMode.SeparateTables, // Separates tables by Grouping by 'GroupByColumns'
    HtmlWrapMode = HtmlDocumentWrapMode.RichDataTables,  // Uses feature-rich https://datatables.net plugin
    Theme = Theme.Dark                                   // Optional (Default is Dark)
};

await summary.JoinReportsAndSaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync(htmlPath, imagePath, options);

Output HTML:

Pivot by .NET Runtime column

var summary = BenchmarkAutoRunner.Run<IterationBenchmark>(); //Prefer to use BenchmarkAutoRunner instead of BenchmarkRunner

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime-Dark.html
var htmlPath = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime-Dark.html");

//[ProjectDirectory]\Reports\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime-Dark.png
var imagePath = DirectoryHelper.GetPathRelativeToProjectDirectory(@"Reports\JoinedBenchmark-PivotBy-Runtime-Dark.png");

var options = new JoinReportHtmlOptions
{
    Title = "Performance Comparison between for, foreach, and ForEach() method",
    MainColumn = "Method",
    GroupByColumns = ["Categories", "Length"],           // Groups by column 'Categories' and 'Length'
    PivotColumn = "Runtime",                             // Pivot 'Runtime' column per value of 'Mean'
    StatisticColumns = ["Mean"],                         // Colorizes 'Mean' columns as Spectrum
    ColumnsOrder = [".NET Core 3.0", ".NET Core 3.1", ".NET 5.0", ".NET 6.0", ".NET 7.0", ".NET 8.0"], //Order of columns
    DividerMode = RenderTableDividerMode.SeparateTables, // Separates tables by Grouping by 'GroupByColumns'
    HtmlWrapMode = HtmlDocumentWrapMode.RichDataTables,  // Uses feature-rich https://datatables.net plugin
    Theme = Theme.Dark                                   // Optional (Default is Dark)
};

await summary.JoinReportsAndSaveAsHtmlAndImageAsync(htmlPath, imagePath, options);
