## What it is
The Phoronix Test Suite is an open-source, cross-platform automated benchmarking and testing platform written in PHP. It provides an extensible framework with hundreds of test profiles and suites via OpenBenchmarking.org, handling test installation, execution, result aggregation, and reporting.

## Use cases
- benchmark my cpu and gpu from the command line
- compare hardware performance across machines
- run reproducible automated performance tests
- track performance regressions per git commit
- monitor system sensors during benchmarks
- manage benchmark runs across a fleet of test machines
- validate hardware performance for QA

## When to choose
- you need standardized, reproducible benchmarks across Linux, Windows, macOS, or BSD
- you want access to a large library of pre-built test profiles without writing your own harness
- you need automated performance regression testing in CI or per-commit workflows
- you want to compare results side-by-side or share them via OpenBenchmarking.org

## When to avoid
- you need unit or functional testing of application code rather than system benchmarks
- you need a lightweight single-purpose micro-benchmark for one component
- your environment cannot install PHP or the test dependencies
- you require a GUI-only workflow

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: stable
- function: benchmarking, testing, monitoring, cli
- domain: developer-tools, performance, testing
- platform: windows, bsd, cross-platform, cli
