Bench Harness

benchmatrix.bench_harness

Build pytest-benchmark matrices and attach benchmatrix metadata.

pytest-benchmark remains the measurement engine and source of truth for calibration, timing, statistics, reporting, and JSON export. This module orchestrates metric-by-implementation-by-case matrices, attaches strict JSON-safe metadata to benchmark.extra_info, and streams lightweight invocation progress records. Detailed timing statistics should be read from pytest-benchmark's terminal report, CSV output, saved runs, or JSON output.

Target functions must be synchronous callables that complete the work to be measured before returning. Async functions are not supported. Lazy return values such as generators, lazy dataframe expressions, query objects, futures, and deferred computation graphs are not forced by this harness; if such objects are returned, the benchmark may measure only object construction.

TargetFunction module-attribute

TargetFunction: TypeAlias = Callable[..., object]

Synchronous callable measured by pytest-benchmark through benchmatrix.

Target functions must perform the work being measured before returning. Async functions are rejected. Lazy return values are not forced by the harness.

BenchmarkLifecycleHook module-attribute

BenchmarkLifecycleHook: TypeAlias = Callable[
    [BenchmarkHookContext], None
]

Synchronous setup or cleanup hook for one benchmark invocation.

BenchmarkResultValidator module-attribute

BenchmarkResultValidator: TypeAlias = Callable[
    [BenchmarkHookContext, object], None
]

Synchronous correctness hook for one benchmark invocation result.

BenchmarkFixture

Bases: Protocol

pytest-benchmark fixture surface used by benchmatrix.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
extra_info MutableMapping[str, object]

Mutable metadata attached to pytest-benchmark output.

BenchmarkConfig dataclass

Configuration passed from benchmatrix to pytest-benchmark.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
pedantic_rounds int

Number of pedantic benchmark rounds to request.

_DEFAULT_PEDANTIC_ROUNDS
warmup_rounds int

Number of pedantic warmup rounds to request.

_DEFAULT_WARMUP_ROUNDS
pedantic_iterations int

Number of function calls per pedantic round when inputs are reused. This value is intentionally ignored when BenchmarkCase.fresh_inputs is true because pytest-benchmark setup mode is used to keep input construction outside the timed target-function body.

_DEFAULT_PEDANTIC_ITERATIONS
stream_progress bool

Whether benchmark helpers should print one progress line per benchmark invocation.

True
before_benchmark BenchmarkLifecycleHook | None

Optional synchronous hook called immediately before pytest-benchmark starts an invocation.

None
validate_result BenchmarkResultValidator | None

Optional synchronous correctness hook called with the result returned by pytest-benchmark. The hook should raise when the result is invalid.

None
after_benchmark BenchmarkLifecycleHook | None

Optional synchronous hook called after result validation, or during cleanup if benchmarking or validation raises.

None

Attributes:

Name Type Description
pedantic_rounds int

Number of pedantic benchmark rounds to request.

warmup_rounds int

Number of pedantic warmup rounds to request.

pedantic_iterations int

Number of function calls per pedantic round when inputs are reused.

stream_progress bool

Whether benchmark helpers should print one progress line per benchmark invocation.

before_benchmark BenchmarkLifecycleHook | None

Optional untimed setup hook for a benchmark invocation.

validate_result BenchmarkResultValidator | None

Optional untimed correctness hook for the returned target result.

after_benchmark BenchmarkLifecycleHook | None

Optional untimed cleanup hook for a benchmark invocation.

Raises:

Type Description
TypeError

If a timing control has the wrong type, progress output is not boolean, or a configured hook is not callable or is asynchronous.

ValueError

If rounds or iterations are not positive, or if warmup rounds are negative.

Warning

For tail_latency benchmarks, setting pedantic_iterations above one means raw samples are per-round averages of multiple calls rather than individual-call latency samples. The harness emits a runtime warning for this configuration.

BenchmarkCase dataclass

Named input case and metadata for a pytest-benchmark matrix.

Warning

If fresh_inputs is false, pytest-benchmark may call the target function repeatedly with the same argument objects. That is appropriate only when the target function treats its inputs as immutable or when reuse reflects the workload you want to measure.

If fresh_inputs is true, this harness uses pytest-benchmark pedantic setup so input construction is setup work rather than timed target-function work. That avoids accidentally timing input creation, but it also means the benchmark is not an end-to-end measurement that includes input construction. To benchmark construction cost, put that construction inside the target function itself.

When fresh_inputs is true, BenchmarkConfig.pedantic_iterations is ignored because pytest-benchmark setup mode is used. The harness emits a runtime warning when a non-default value is ignored.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
name str

Human-readable case name used in parameter IDs and metadata.

required
make_args Callable[[], tuple[object, ...]]

Factory returning positional arguments for the target function.

_empty_args
make_kwargs Callable[[], dict[str, object]]

Factory returning keyword arguments for the target function.

_empty_kwargs
work_units float | Callable[[], float] | None

Positive logical amount of work performed by one target call. This can represent items, rows, bytes, tokens, records, events, or any other domain-specific unit.

None
work_unit_name str

Name of the logical work unit, such as "items", "rows", "bytes", or "tokens". Use a base unit name without spaces, slashes, or "/s"; display code appends "/s" for throughput.

_DEFAULT_WORK_UNIT_NAME
fresh_inputs bool

Whether each benchmark round needs newly created inputs.

False
metadata Mapping[str, object]

Additional strict-JSON-renderable metadata describing the case. Reasonable scalar types such as paths, datetimes, enums, and NumPy scalars are coerced; unsupported values raise MetadataSerializationError.

_empty_metadata()

Attributes:

Name Type Description
name str

Human-readable case name used in parameter IDs and metadata.

make_args Callable[[], tuple[object, ...]]

Factory returning keyword arguments for the target function.

work_units float | Callable[[], float] | None

Positive logical amount of work performed by one target call.

work_unit_name str

Name of the logical work unit.

fresh_inputs bool

Whether each benchmark round needs newly created inputs.

metadata Mapping[str, object]

Strict JSON-safe metadata describing the case.

Warning

Throughput is derived from one synchronous target invocation. It does not model concurrency, saturation, queueing, or service request load. case.work_units must accurately describe work completed by each target call.

Synchronous function implementation to benchmark. The function must complete the measured work before returning.

Warning

This uses pedantic mode. Tail percentiles should be calculated from pytest-benchmark JSON data values. This is an implementation-comparison metric, not production p95/p99 latency under load.

If case.fresh_inputs is false and config.pedantic_iterations is greater than one, raw samples are per-round averages of multiple calls, not individual-call latency samples. The harness emits a runtime warning for that configuration.
