I am in the process of writing a library for my MSc dissertation and would like to do some benchmarking. In doing so I need to compare the time and space of my library with some other code. Is there a framework for doing so in Haskell, aside from the Profiling tools in GHC? Basically I'm looking for something like QuickCheck, but that helps with generating repeatable tests to measure performance. Is there anything out there that anyone would recommend? Also have a look at smallcheck (hackage) then. It has been announced on the haskell mailinglist recently;
"SmallCheck is similar to QuickCheck (Claessen and Hughes 2000-) but instead of testing for a sample of randomly generated values, SmallCheck tests properties for all the finitely many values up to some depth, progressively increasing the depth used" Marc Weber
