JUnit extension for measuring energy consumption

This project is an extension of Junit5 based on the project j-joules to extract the energy consumption of RAPL domains (Package and DRAM),.

Install

First of all you must install the project j-joules with

git clone https://github.com/Mamadou59/j-joule

cd j-joules

mvn clean install

Then, clone and install junit-jjoules with

git clone https://github.com/Mamadou59/junit-jjoule

cd junit-jjoules

mvn clean installl

CONFIGURATIONS

Add this dependency to your pom.xml which will allow you to use this project in your own project

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.powerapi.jjoules</groupId>
	<artifactId>junit-jjoules</artifactId>
	<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Now, add these dependencies too if you get errors for your tests execution in JUnit 55

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
	<artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
	<version>${junit.jupiter.version}</version>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
	<artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
	<version>${junit.jupiter.version}</version>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
	<artifactId>junit-platform-runner</artifactId>
	<version>${junit.platform.version}</version>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

You also need plugins configurations for creating the tests classes call graph

Add this one which create a jar file for all test classes

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>3.2.0</version>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<phase>test</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>test-jar</goal>
			</goals>
			<!-- if you want exclude some classes use this config -->
			<!-- <configuration> 
				<excludes> 
					<exclude>org/powerapi/jjoules/Fibonacci.class</exclude> 
				</excludes> 
			</configuration> -->
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>

Copy the jar file (call graph tool) from this directory src/main/java/org/powerapi/jjoules/ressources/javacg-0.1-SNAPSHOT-static.jar to your project root directory.

Then add these plugins

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
	<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>3.0.0</version>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<id>call-graph</id>
			<phase>test</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>exec</goal>
			</goals>
			<configuration>
				<executable>java</executable>
				<arguments>
					<argument>-jar</argument>
					<argument>javacg-0.1-SNAPSHOT-static.jar</argument>
					<argument>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-tests.jar</argument>
				</arguments>
				<outputFile>${project.build.directory}/call-graph/tests-callgraph.txt</outputFile>
				<!-- to put your own output file name -->
				<!-- <outputFile>${project.build.directory}/tests-call-graph/callgraph.txt</outputFile> -->
			</configuration>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.powerapi.jjoules</groupId>
	<artifactId>junit-jjoules</artifactId>
	<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<id>callgraph-matrix</id>
			<phase>test</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>generate-matrix</goal>
			</goals>
			<!-- example configuration -->
			<!-- <configuration> 
				<outputDir>${project.build.directory}/tests-call-graph</outputDir> 
				<outputFilename>matrix.txt</outputFilename> 
				<callgraphFilename>callgraph.txt</callgraphFilename> 
			</configuration> -->
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>

The first one execute java command with call graph tool to create à call graph file and put the results in this directory target/call-graph/tests-callgraph.txt you can also change it by changing the value in <outputFile> but be careful you will have to report it in the second plugin like did in commented configurations. The second plugin configuration execute goal generate-matrix to create a matrix of call graph for only energy tests.

How to write tests

The rules to respect are:

• You must write only one energy test per file test class

• You have to add this annotation on each energy test like

  //...

  public class MyClassTest{

    @EnergyTest
    public void MyFirstTest(){
    	// Test something
    }
  

  //...

RUN

In your project root execute this command to run all tests

mvn clean test

Now, you will get the energy consumption reports of all energy tests in directory /target/jjoules-reports only one test in one json file.

You can also see the call graph files in this directory /target/call-graph if you did not change the directory path before in plugins configuration.
