BREW

The Benchmark Refinement and Execution Wizard (BREW) can be used to do what the name suggests, first refine and then execute a benchmark. For the refinement step it guides the user through 3 steps, all adding additional and typically missing information to a benchmark.

The benchmark execution can be started directly via the GUI shown above or via command line.

Usage

Our wiki contains tutorials on how to use BREW. However, in order to execute benchmarks the underlying AQL-System must be configured. A tutorial that explains the configuration process can be found: here.

Execution

In general BREW can be started with the following command (Launch parameters):

java -jar BREW-2.0.0.jar

and build by:

cd /path/to/BREW
mvn
