Games: Benchmarking

In your existing Games project, you’re going to benchmark your Wordle application.

First, add Benchee to your existing list of dependencies.

You’re going to run benchmarks in your ExUnit test suite. Since benchmarks are usually expensive, you’ll create a custom :benchmark tag and exclude this tag from tests in test_helper.exs.

You should be able to run benchmarks using the --only=benchmark or the --include=benchmark flag.

mix test --only=benchmark

Benchmark the Games.Wordle.feedback/2 function you previously created. Refactor your solution and try to optimize its performance.

Commit Your Progress

DockYard Academy now recommends you use the latest Release rather than forking or cloning our repository.

Run git status to ensure there are no undesirable changes. Then run the following in your command line from the curriculum folder to commit your progress.

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "finish Games: Benchmarking exercise"
$ git push
