This annotation makes the test executed in a specific JVM with the given heap size.
Name | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
value | long | Heap size value (Xms=Xmx) |
unit | AllocationUnit | Allocation unit |
@HeapSize(value = 20, unit = AllocationUnit.MEGA_BYTE)
This annotation makes the test executed in a specific JVM having the given initial and minimum heap size value.
Name | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
value | long | Initial and minimum heap size value |
unit | AllocationUnit | Allocation unit |
@Xms(value = 20, unit = AllocationUnit.MEGA_BYTE)
This annotation annotation makes the test executed in a specific JVM having the given maximum heap size value.
Name | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
value | long | Maximum heap size value |
unit | AllocationUnit | Allocation unit |
@Xmx(value = 20, unit = AllocationUnit.MEGA_BYTE)
This annotation makes the test executed in a specific JVM with the given Garbage Collector (GC).
Name | Type | Meaning | Default value |
---|---|---|---|
value | org.quickperf.jvm.gc.GC | GC type | GC.DEFAULT |
The following GC types are available:
- GC.EPSILON_GC: Epsilon GC - Doc 1, Epsilon GC - Doc 2
- GC.ZGC: ZGC - Doc
- GC.SHENANDOAH: Shenandoah - Doc
@UseGC(GC.EPSILON_GC)
This annotation enables GC logging.
The path of the GC log file is displayed on the console:
GC log file: C:\Users\JEANBI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\QuickPerf-1127741195724299919\gc.log
This file can be analysed with the help of a GC log analyzer:
- GCViewer, GCViewer Download 1, GCViewer Download 2
- Censum
- GCeasy, the GC log file can be uploaded
- ...
This annotation makes the test executed in a specific JVM having the given JVM options.
A tool developed by Chris Newland can be used to explore the available JVM options.
Name | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
value | String | JVM options |
The following annotations use ByteWatcher under the hood:
For example, you can use MeasureHeapAllocation and ExpectMaxHeapAllocation annotations to check the heap allocation cost of a large data structure (e.g., 1 000 000 elements).
You can use ExpectNoHeapAllocation annotation to verify that the tested code does not allocate on the heap.
This annotation measures the heap allocation of the test method thread and displays it on the console.
Name | Type | Meaning | Default value |
---|---|---|---|
format | java.lang.String | Provides the format used to print the measured heap allocation on the console. This format will be called with a preformatted allocation as a String. So the only element you can use in this format is %s . |
[QUICK PERF] Measured heap allocation (test method thread): %s |
writerFactory | Class<? extends WriterFactory> | Allows you to provide a way to build a Writer instance to print your messages. The WriterFactory class is used to built this Writer . This WriterFactory class is constructed using reflection, so it should have an empty constructor. If it does not an exception will be raised and the default Writer will be used. The default value DefaultWriterFactory builds a Writer that writes to System.out . In case an exception is raised in the use of a provided factory, the system falls back on this default value. |
DefaultWriterFactory.class |
@RunWith(QuickPerfJUnitRunner.class)
public class ClassWithMethodAnnotatedWithMeasureAllocation {
@MeasureHeapAllocation
@JvmOptions("-XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+UseCompressedClassPointers")
@Test
public void array_list_with_size_100_should_allocate_440_bytes() {
// java.util.ArrayList: 24 bytes
// +
// Object[]: 16 + 100 x 4 = 416
// = 440 bytes
ArrayList<Object> data = new ArrayList<>(100);
}
}
Console:
[QUICK PERF] Measured heap allocation (test method thread): 440 bytes
@QuickPerfTest
public class TestClass {
@MeasureHeapAllocation(writerFactory = FileWriterBuilder.class, format = "Heap allocation: %s\n")
@Test
public void test_method() {
//...
}
public static class FileWriterBuilder implements WriterFactory {
@Override
public Writer buildWriter() throws IOException {
return new FileWriter("C:\\Users\\UserName\\Allocation.txt", true);
}
}
}
This annotation makes the test fail if the heap allocation of the test method thread is greater than expected.
Name | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
value | long | Allocation value |
unit | AllocationUnit | Allocation unit |
@ExpectMaxHeapAllocation(value = 440, unit = AllocationUnit.BYTE)
@Test
public void array_list_with_size_100_should_allocate_440_bytes() {
ArrayList<Object> data = new ArrayList<>(100);
}
This annotation makes the test fail if the test thread allocates on the heap.
You can use the two following methods of org.quickperf.jvm.heap.HeapDumper
class to dump the Java heap:
public static void dumpHeap(String fileName)
public static void dumpHeapWithOnlyLiveObjects(String fileName)
Several tools can be used to analyze the heap dump:
- Memory Analyzer Tool (MAT)
- JOverflow JMC plugin
- VisualVM
- YourKit (commercial)
- JProfiler (commercial)
- ...
@HeapSize(value = 50, unit = AllocationUnit.MEGA_BYTE)
@Test
public void do_something_and_dump_heap() {
IntegerAccumulator integerAccumulator = new IntegerAccumulator();
integerAccumulator.accumulateInteger(3_000_000);
HeapDumper.dumpHeap("C:\\Users\\UserName\heap-dump.hprof");
}
Console:
[QUICK PERF] Heap dump file
π C:\Users\UserName\heap-dump.hprof
You can measure the Resident Set Size (RSS) with this annotation.
The measured RSS is displayed on the console.
[QUICK PERF] Measured RSS (process 5227): 46.64 Mega bytes (48 902 144 bytes)
This annotation will make the test fail if the Resident Set Size (RSS) is greater than expected.
Name | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
value | long | value |
unit | AllocationUnit | RAM unit |
To be able to use the ProfileJvm and ExpectNoJvmIssue annotations, you must add the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.quickperf</groupId>
<artifactId>quick-perf-jfr-annotations</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
If you get an org.openjdk.jmc:flightrecorder.rules.jdk:pom:7.0.0 not found issue, read this to fix it.
With these annotations, the JVM is profiled with the JDK Flight Recorder (JFR), an event recorder built into the JVM.
The profiling content is saved in a .jfr file.
- OpenJDK JDK >= 11
- OpenJDK JDK 8 with a version greater than u262/u272 (following vendors)
π Article from Marcus Hirt giving details: http://hirt.se/blog/?p=1235 - Oracle JDK >= 1.7u40
To profile the JVM with the JDK Flight Recorder (JFR).
The console displays the path to the recording file. You can open this file with JDK Mission Control.
ProfileJvm annotation also displays some JVM profiling data (GC times, heap allocation estimation, exception numbers, ...) in standard output.

Today we consider this annotation as experimental.
With this annotation, JVM is profiled with Java Flight Recorder (JFR).
Based on the profiling, some JMC rules are evaluated. For each rule a score is attributed. The maximum score value is 100. The test will fail if one rule has a score greater than this expected (by default 60)
Things like significant primitives to object conversions can be detected:
[PERF] JMC rules are expected to have score less than <50>.
Rule: Primitive To Object Conversion
Severity: INFO
Score: 74
Message: 79 % of the total allocation (45,6 MiB) is caused by conversion from primitive
types to object types.
The most common object type that primitives are converted into is
'java.lang.Integer', which causes 45,6 MiB to be allocated. The most common
call site is
'org.quickperf.jvm.jmc.JmcJUnit4Tests$ClassWithFailingJmcRules$IntegerAccumulator.accumulateInteger(int):40'.
π‘ With this annotation you can also detect that most of the time is spent to do garbage collection in your test.
π‘ If you have the following message in the console
Rule: Stackdepth Setting
Severity: WARNING
Score: 97
Message: Some stack traces were truncated in this recording.
then you can increase the stack depth value in this way:
@JvmOptions("-XX:FlightRecorderOptions=stackdepth=128")
Name | Type | Meaning | Default value |
---|---|---|---|
score | int | Rule score (<=100) | 60 |
