BenchTest
Compare Performance of
FileMaker Techniques,
Versions and Configurations
BenchTest Overview
BenchTest is our free tool you can use to measure and compare performance of different techniques to achieve the same result, different versions of FileMaker doing the same thing, or different environments running the same version of FileMaker. Learn how to use it
Key Features
- 1 million pre-generated test records ensure consistent conditions across configurations
- 126 predefined tests let you easily compare speed of different ways to do the same thing
- Built-in automation lets you repeat the same set of tests on different FileMaker versions
- Pre-defined “Standard test” lets you compare your setup performance with others
1 Million Test Records
To provide consistent results across platforms, FileMaker versions and users, BenchTest comes with random-generated data set consisting of two tables, one with 250 records and one with 1,000,000 records. The actual test data is then generated out of this data set using a fixed algorithm in order o produce a data file simulating real-life database with large amount of indexed records.
Compare Techniques
BenchTest comes with 126 predefined tests organized in 14 groups intended to compare performance of different techniques to achieve the same result. Each test consists of a wrapper script, whose purpose is to prepare initial conditions for the test and to evaluate the test's execution time, and the actual test script. You can easily compare the predefined techniques, or even add your own.
Compare Hosting Options
Wondering which hosting or data center to chose for your cloud-hosted FileMaker solution? Test different options with BenchTest Hosting Edition and compare your results and the results submitted by the community in a dedicated Hosting section of our results below. To try it out yourself, just have FileMaker Pro ready to run the test for up to a few hours, and click here to start.
Automate Series of Tests
BenchTest also comes with an easy way to automate repeating the same series of tests on different FileMaker versions or different configurations. You can also perform the tests on multiple workers to test how your FileMaker Server will really handle multiple concurrent clients. BenchTest will automatically coordinate starting each step on all workers at the same time.
Score Your Environment
Pre-defined “standard test” set consisting of exactly 111 tests will let you submit your test results to our server and get your setup’s performance scored by comparing it to our reference results. The overall score is calculated as a weighed average of the 111 individual tests with our intention for higher score to mean “faster configuration” for usual FileMaker solution tasks. You can check all valid results compared below on this page.
Top Results
See how different configurations and hosting options compare when running the BenchTest standard test. Try it on your own and submit your results to have them listed here. If you’re looking for the best hardware configuration or hosting option, this is a great way to find out what you can expect. If you’re a FileMaker hosting provider, make sure to get your hosting listed.
