Proper Engine Testing

How do you know that the changes you're making to your engine are beneficial to it's performance? How can you be sure that you've actually improved the strength of your engine? The answer is by thoroughly testing your engine after every change.

This guide aims to explain the process of testing during the development of your engine. We will first look at why testing is important. Next, we'll focus on what kind of tests we should be running and how to interpret the results. After that, we'll see how to run these tests, using a popular framework called OpenBench.

In the end, my hope is that you will not only have a better understanding of how and why to test your engine, but that you will also know how to set up and use OpenBench to serve as your primary testing framework.
