terminal-benchmark
This project's aim is to provide a comprehensive set of terminal emulator tests.
Currently, it is a simple bash script which measures the performance of a terminal emulator in characters per second. It runs tests with:
- color code unicode characters
- the none unicode character
- a mix of unicode and none characters
Any feedback and help to extend the project is welcome.
Results are collected in the wiki: https://github.com/Dica-Developer/terminal-benchmark/wiki/user-test-results
TODO:
- use results from repeated test executions
- add more tests that simulate editors or other CLI tools like VIM, htop, mutt, alot, ...
- test absolute postions
- test with multiplexers, e.g. tmux
- add tests for checking terminal compatibility
- calculate overall score
- ...
