module BigBench::PostProcessor

Post processors are run after all test are finished and the results are written to the output file. A post processor can either be a block of code, or an existing post processor module. To setup a post processor simply do this:

post_process do
  # Some code that is executed after the tests, like a database update, twitter post, email etc.
end

Or use one of the predefined post processor or write one yourself:

post_process :statistics
post_process BigBench::PostProcessor::Statistics
post_process "statistics"

All the upper lines include the same post processor. Symbols and strings are camelized and constantized as the module name.

Available Methods in Processors

Every post processor block or module supports the following methods and has full ActionView::Helper support.

each_tracking

A method that iterates through every collected tracking. It automatically returns a hash with a single tracking of the following form:

{
  :elapsed    => 2.502132,
  :start      => 1333986292.1755981,
  :stop       => 1333986293.618884,
  :duration   => 1443,
  :benchmark  => "index page",
  :url        => "http://www.google.de/",
  :path       => "/",
  :method     => "get",
  :status     => 200
}

It can be used like this:

post_process do

  total_trackings, total_errors = 0, 0                
  each_tracking do |tracking|
    total_trackings += 1
    total_errors    += 1 unless tracking[:status] == 200
  end

  Twitter.post "Just run BigBench with #{total_trackings} trackings and #{total_errors} errors."
