The benchmarking concept is not new in the field of computing or computer networking. With “benchmarking tools”, one usually refers to a program or set of programs, used to evaluate the performance of a solution under certain reference conditions, relative to the performance of another solution. Since the 1970s, benchmarking techniques have been used to measure the performance of computers and ...

the paper presents unified analytical solution for combining high-frequency and low-frequency economic time-series by additive and proportional denton methods with parametrical dependence on the initial values of variable and indicator in evident form. this solution spans denton’s original and cholette’s advanced benchmarking initial conditions as the subcases. computational complexity of the o...

Regression testing is an important part of software quality assurance. We work to extend regression testing to include regression benchmarking, which applies benchmarking to detect regressions in performance. Given the specific requirements of regression benchmarking, many contemporary benchmarks are not directly usable in regression benchmarking. To overcome this, we present a case for designi...

Best practice benchmarking (benchmarking for short) generally refers to the pursuit by organizations of enhanced performance by learning from the successful practices of others. Comparisons of key processes which contribute to organizational success are made – with other parts of the same organization; competitors; or organizations operating comparable processes in a context which is in some wa...

Best practice benchmarking (benchmarking for short) generally refers to the pursuit by organisations of enhanced performance by learning from the successful practices of others. Comparisons of processes which contribute to strategic success are made with other parts of the same organisation; competitors; or organisations operating comparable processes in a context which is in some way relevant....

Regression benchmarking as a part of regression testing is an application of benchmarking that aims at an automatic detection of performance regressions during application development. While the automation is a crucial requirement for regression benchmarking, it is hard to meet this requirement with contemporary benchmarks that are usually not fully automated. The paper gives an analysis of the...

Benchmarking is the continuous process of measuring products, services and practices against competitors recognised as industry leaders. This study focuses on understanding and explaining the problems that confront companies which implement benchmarking practices. Attention is centralized on two aspects of the process that lead to these problems. Benchmarking is an exogenous process for the com...

Proper benchmarking and resource measurement is an important topic, because benchmarking is a widely-used method for the comparative evaluation of tools and algorithms in many research areas. It is essential for researchers, tool developers, and users, as well as for competitions. We formulate a set of requirements that are indispensable for reproducible benchmarking and reliable resource measu...
