Benchmarks for DVC

dvc-bench

Benchmarking dvc with pytest-benchmark.

Setting up

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ dvc pull # optional, otherwise will pull datasets dynamically

Running all benchmarks

$ pytest

Running one benchmark

$ pytest tests/benchmarks/cli/commands/test_add.py

CLI options

$ pytest -h
...
 --size={tiny,small,large}                                   
                       Size of the dataset/datafile to use in
                       tests (default: small)
 --remote={azure,gdrive,gs,hdfs,http,oss,s3,ssh,webdav}
                       Remote type to use in tests (default: local)
...

Comparing results

$ py.test-benchmark compare --histogram histograms/ --group-by name --sort name --csv results.csv

Testing different dvc versions

pip install dvc==2.5.4
pytest
pip install dvc==2.6.0
pytest

tests/benchmarks structure:

• cli: should be able to run these with any dvc (rpm, deb, pypi, snap, etc) (could be used in dvc-test repo too)
  • commands: granular tests for individual commands. These should have a cached setup, so that we could use them during rapid development instead of our hand-written scripts. Every test could be run in a separate machine.
  • stories: multistage start-to-end benchmarks, useful for testing workflows (e.g. in documentation, see test_sharing inspired by sharing-data-and-models use-case. Every full story could be run in a separate machine.
• api: for python api only.
  • methods: granular tests for individual methods (e.g. api.open/read). Same reasoning as in cli.commands
  • stories: same as cli.stories but for our api. E.g. imagine using our api with pandas or smth like that.
