fwiw, https://github.com/denis-bz/opt has a Python testbench for some of the non-derivative optimizers in NLopt on Powell's sin-cos scalable test function.
It sounds like this test function is more oriented towards global optimization algorithms .... testing local optimizers on functions with lots of local minima may yield results that are difficult to compare.
