[MatheusFranco99]

Overview

Benchmark tests to:

• measure performance
• keep track of performance impact for each new protocol change

It includes performance tests for:

• Full duty
• Consensus full round
• Partial Signature messages
• QBFT message type by round and occurrence number

Example of output:

> go test -bench=.
