# Testing and benchmarking
- [Testing](#testing)
- [Benchmarking](#benchmarking)
## Testing
The `tests` folder has the following structure:
```tree
.
├── common
│ └── ...
├── use_case
│ ├── <usecase1>
│ │ └── ...
│ ├── <usecase2>
│ │ └── ...
└── utils
└── ...
```
Where:
- `common`: contains tests for generic and common appplication functions.
- `use_case`: contains all the use case specific tests in the respective folders.
- `utils`: contains utilities sources used only within the tests.
When [configuring](./building.md#configuring-the-build-native-unit-test) and
[building](./building.md#Building-the-configured-project) for `native` target platform results of the build will
be placed under `build/bin/` folder, for example:
```tree
.
├── dev_ethosu_eval-<usecase1>-tests
├── dev_ethosu_eval-<usecase2>-tests
├── ethos-u-<usecase1>
└── ethos-u-<usecase1>
```
To execute unit-tests for a specific use-case in addition to the common tests:
```commandline
dev_ethosu_eval-<use_case>-tests
```
```log
INFO - native platform initialised
INFO - ARM Ethos-U55 Evaluation application for MPS3 FPGA Prototyping Board and FastModel
...
===============================================================================
All tests passed (37 assertions in 7 test cases)
```
Tests output could have `[ERROR]` messages, that's alright - they are coming from negative scenarios tests.
## Benchmarking
Profiling is enabled by default when configuring the project. This will enable displaying:
- the active and idle NPU cycle counts when Arm® Ethos™-U55 is enabled (see `-DETHOS_U55_ENABLED` in
[Build options](./building.md#build-options).
- CPU cycle counts and/or in milliseconds elapsed for inferences performed if CPU profiling is enabled
(see `-DCPU_PROFILE_ENABLED` in [Build options](./building.md#build-options). This should be done only
when running on a physical FPGA board as the FVP does not contain a cycle-approximate or cycle-accurate Cortex-M model.
For example:
- On the FVP:
```log
Active NPU cycles: 5475412
Idle NPU cycles: 702
```
- For MPS3 platform, the time duration in milliseconds is also reported when `-DCPU_PROFILE_ENABLED=1` is added to
CMake configuration command:
```log
Active NPU cycles: 5629033
Idle NPU cycles: 1005276
Active CPU cycles: 993553 (approx)
Time in ms: 210
```
