There's the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoronix Global, and PTS
Desktop Live as our family of free software products to provide
extensive benchmarking and automated testing capabilities atop Linux,
OpenSolaris, BSD, and Mac OS X operating systems. The Phoronix Test
Suite has more than 120 test profiles and 50 test suites with new suites
and tests continuing to come in through its extensible architecture, but
for organizations with multiple test systems or entire testing farm(s)
devoted to performance monitoring and regression tracking, they have had
to strap the Phoronix Test Suite atop their own management systems or
hack away at simple scripts to deploy our testing software across an
array of systems. Today though we are announcing the public beta launch
of Phoromatic. Phoromatic is a remote test management system that allows
controlling any number of PTS-powered systems through a single web-based
interface, which also allows all of the test results to be viewed from a
central source. This article provides a first-look and guide for some of
the possibilities of Phoromatic from those looking to build a
benchmarking test farm or for individuals simply wanting to benchmark
computers across the world. We also share in this article what may be
coming next to our Linux-focused benchmarking empire.
