DevDiff Stress Testing & Performance Benchmark Suite

DevDiff is designed to operate efficiently on high-velocity developer workstations and continuous integration (CI/CD) pipelines. To guarantee deterministic performance, bounded memory usage, and stability across large monorepos, DevDiff runs automated benchmark suites against extreme repository conditions.

Running the Automated Stress Testing Suite

To run the local stress-testing suite against your local workstation environment:

# Give execution permissions (macOS / Linux / WSL / Git Bash)
chmod +x test/stress/full-suite.sh

# Execute the complete automated benchmark suite
./test/stress/full-suite.sh

Environment Benchmark Flag Options

# Run with detailed memory profiling enabled
STRESS_PROFILE_MEMORY=true ./test/stress/full-suite.sh

# Run specific concurrency target (e.g. 10 parallel agents)
STRESS_CONCURRENCY=10 ./test/stress/full-suite.sh
