XSLTMark II – A Simple, Extensible and Portable XSLT Benchmark

摘要

In this paper we focus on the problem of XSLT benchmarking. Although it is a straightforward task, currently there exists only a single XSLT benchmark which is obsolete and no longer supported. Hence we have proposed a novel tool called XSLTMark II having several important features such as simplicity, portability, extensibility, and wide parametrization. It allows for generating of test cases from templates of tests, running tests, generating XML reports, transforming reports into HTML format and testing different XSLT processors. The basic set of templates was created on the basis of analysis of real-world XSLT scripts. And, last but not least, a proof of the concept is provided via application of the benchmark on a selected set of XSLT processors.
