Correction: the new engine is faster (25-200 times)

We have been updating the performance comparisons of our new architecture against the competition. As mentioned before, we currently have numbers for the java/eclipse product only.

The performance comparison was to measure how much time would it take to execute a suite that exercises 19 methods of the form:

public XX ReturnXX(XX param){
return param;
}

Where XX is an native type or its equivalent in the java.lang package. We ran one set where every test was a failed one and another set where all were successes.

The idea was to measure how efficient the engines were at handling different amounts of work. A failure should take more work than a success because the engine has to report where the failure is.

The numbers are better than we thought. In the all-failures scenario our engine is, consistently, 25 times faster than Junit. In the all-successes scenario our engine is 200 times faster than Junit.

With the advantage that we can handle all types of access to methods and fields, and strict gui testing.

We will be updating the white paper with these new figures and snapshots of the product, soon.

Well, that's all for now...
