Writing Benchmarks
Write your own benchmarks
Caliper provides a set of nodejs NBIs (North Bound Interfaces) for applications to interact with backend blockchain system. Check the packages/caliper-core/lib/blockchain.js to learn about the NBIs. Multiple Adaptors are implemented to translate the NBIs to different blockchain protocols. So developers can write a benchmark once, and run it with different blockchain systems.
Generally speaking, to write a new caliper benchmark, you need to:
- Write smart contracts for systems you want to test
- Write a testing flow using caliper NBIs. Caliper provides a default benchmark engine, which is pluggable and configurable to integrate new tests easily. For more details, please refer to Benchmark Engine.
- Write a configuration file to define the backend network and benchmark arguments.
