Phoronix Test Suite Tests

A test profile is comprised of an XML file and set of scripts that define how the Phoronix Test Suite or other OpenBenchmarking.org schema-compliant test clients interact with an individual test and provide abstraction for all relevant test information. A test profile can be written to produce a quantitative performance or functional result and can be written to automate nearly any task. Test profiles are provided by Phoronix Media and can also be easily created by individual parties and then uploaded to their OpenBenchmarking.org account. With Phoronix Test Suite 3.0, test profiles are automatically downloaded from OpenBenchmarking.org when needed.
