Gilles commented on MATH-974:
-----------------------------
If you refuse that it be moved, then what is the alternative for users to
depend on this class in order to perform their own benchmarks so that they can
decide whether it's worth using Commons Math code instead of another
implementation?
Would it be any better to distribute a second artefact with all the test
classes?
Strictly, that code also has no place in the unit tests repository.
It could become part of a toolbox used by "indirect" contributors, i.e. people
who do not want to download the CM source code but could point to performance
weaknesses.
But is it worth creating a new component for that at this point? I think not.

> Move "PerfTestUtils" to "src/main" repository

> Key: MATH-974
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-974
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Reporter: Gilles
> Assignee: Gilles
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: benchmark, test
> Fix For: 4.0

>
> The class "org.apache.commons.math3.PerfTestUtils" is in the "src/test" part
> of the code repository.
> It was intended to perform micro-benchmarks and compare alternative
> implementations. However its location makes it difficult to use by users that
> rely on automatic dependency resolution.
> Having it more visible will hopefully lead to useful suggestions for
> improving the benchmarking methodology.
