Standardized Performance Benchmarking Format

Version 1.1.0

Last Updated: 2025-05-04T11:18:31-05:00 Schema Version: 1.1.0

Required Sections

1. Test Environment

   • Hardware specifications
   • Software versions
   • Network configuration
   • Test date (ISO 8601 format)

2. Security Requirements

1. Encryption: AES-256 for secrets
2. Access Control: RBAC implementation
3. Audit Logging: 90-day retention
4. Transport Security: TLS 1.3 required
5. Performance Targets:
   - CLI Response ≤500ms (with security)
   - Web API Response ≤800ms (with security)
   - Memory ≤512MB

3. Benchmark Methodology

   • Test duration
   • Warmup period (minimum 5 runs)
   • Measurement approach
   • Iteration count (minimum 100)
   • Test script reference
