# Phoronix Test Suite 10.8.5

![Phoronix Test Suite](pts-core/static/images/pts-308x160.png)



The **Phoronix Test Suite** is the most comprehensive testing and benchmarking

platform available for Linux, Solaris, macOS, Windows, and BSD operating

systems. The Phoronix Test Suite allows for carrying out tests in a fully

automated manner from test installation to execution and reporting. All tests

are meant to be easily reproducible, easy-to-use, and support fully automated

execution. The Phoronix Test Suite is open-source under the GNU GPLv3 license

and is developed by Phoronix Media in cooperation with partners.

Documentation](https://github.com/phoronix-test-suite/phoronix-test-suite/blob/master/documentation/phoronix-test-suite.md)



The Phoronix Test Suite itself is an open-source framework for conducting

automated tests along with reporting of test results, detection of installed

system software/hardware, and other features. This framework is designed to be

an extensible architecture so that new test profiles and suites can be easily

added to represent performance benchmarks, unit tests, and other quantitative

and qualitative (e.g. image quality comparison and pass/fail) measurements.

Available through OpenBenchmarking.org, a collaborative storage platform

developed in conjunction with the Phoronix Test Suite, are more than 600

individual test profiles and more than 200 test suites available by default from

the Phoronix Test Suite. Independent users are also able to upload their test

results, profiles, and suites to OpenBenchmarking.org.



A test profile is a single test that can be executed by the Phoronix Test Suite

-- with a series of options possible within every test -- and a test suite is a

seamless collection of test profiles and/or additional test suites. A test

profile consists of a set of Bash/shell scripts and XML files while a test suite

is a single XML file. Modules for the Phoronix Test Suite also allow for

integration with git-bisect and other revision control systems for per-commit

regression testing, system sensor monitoring, and other extras.



[OpenBenchmarking.org](https://www.openbenchmarking.org/) also allows for

conducting side-by-side result comparisons, a central location for storing and

sharing test results, and collaborating over test data.

[Phoromatic](https://www.phoromatic.com/) is a complementary platform to

OpenBenchmarking.org and the Phoronix Test Suite for interfacing with Phoronix

Test Suite client(s) to automatically execute test runs on a timed, per-commit,

or other trigger-driven basis. Phoromatic is designed for enterprise and allows

for the easy management of multiple networked systems running Phoronix Test

Suite clients via a single web-based interface.



Professional support and custom engineering for the Phoronix Test Suite,

Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org is available by contacting

.



Full details on the Phoronix Test Suite setup and usage is available from the

included HTML/PDF documentation within the phoronix-test-suite package and from

the [Phoronix Test Suite documentation directory](documentation/).



## Installation & Setup



The Phoronix Test Suite is supported on Linux, *BSD, Solaris, macOS, and Windows

systems. However, the most full-featured and well supported operating system for

conducting the tests is Linux with some non-basic functionality not being

available under all platforms. The Phoronix Test Suite software/framework is

compatible with all major CPU architectures (e.g. i686, x86_64, ARM / AArch64,

RISC-V, POWER 64-bit), but not all of the test profiles/suites are compatible

with all architectures.



The Phoronix Test Suite can be installed for system-wide usage or run locally

without installation from the extracted tar.gz/zip package. The only hard

dependency on the Phoronix Test Suite is having command-line support for PHP

(PHP 5.3+) installed. A complete PHP stack (e.g. with web server) is **not**

needed, but merely the PHP command-line support, which is widely available from

operating system package managers under the name `php`, `php7-cli`, `php5-cli`,

`php7` or `php8`.



## Usage



The process to download, install/setup, execute, and report the results of a

benchmark can be as simple as a command such as `phoronix-test-suite benchmark

smallpt` to run a simple CPU test profile. If wishing to simply install a test,

it's a matter of running `phoronix-test-suite install ` and

to run it's `phoronix-test-suite run `. There's also a batch

mode for non-interactive benchmarking by first running `phoronix-test-suite

batch-setup` and then using the `batch-run` sub-command rather than `run`. For

more guidance see the [Phoronix Test Suite

documentation](documentation/phoronix-test-suite.md).



Viewing installed system hardware and software is available via

`phoronix-test-suite system-info`.



Facilitating a result comparison from OpenBenchmarking.org can be done by

running, for example, `phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1204293-BY-PHORONIX357` if

wishing to compare the results of the

`https://openbenchmarking.org/result/1204293-BY-PHORONIX357` result file.
