junit Tests Performance measurement

Example

If you need to check if your testing method takes too long to execute, you can do that by mentioning your expected execution time using timeout property of @Test annotation. If the test execution takes longer than that number of milliseconds it causes a test method to fail.

public class StringConcatenationTest {

    private static final int TIMES = 10_000;
    
    // timeout in milliseconds
    @Test(timeout = 20)
    public void testString(){

        String res = "";

        for (int i = 0; i < TIMES; i++) {
            res += i;
        }

        System.out.println(res.length());
    }

    @Test(timeout = 20)
    public void testStringBuilder(){

        StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();

        for (int i = 0; i < TIMES; i++) {
            res.append(i);
        }

        System.out.println(res.length());
    }

    @Test(timeout = 20)
    public void testStringBuffer(){

        StringBuffer res = new StringBufferr();

        for (int i = 0; i < TIMES; i++) {
            res.append(i);
        }

        System.out.println(res.length());
    }

}

In most cases without JVM warm-up testString will fail. But testStringBuffer and testStringBuilder should pass this test successfully.
