BEEN is a generic tool for automated benchmarking in a heterogeneous distributed environment. BEEN is a generic tool for automated benchmarking in a heterogeneous distributed environment.

BEEN automates all steps of a benchmark experiment from software building and deployment through measurement and load monitoring to evaluation of results. The notable features include separation of the measurement from the evaluation and an ability to adaptively scale the benchmark experiment based on the evaluation. BEEN has been designed to facilitate automated detection of performance changes during software development (regression benchmarking).

BEEN Features:
1. Support for heterogeneous environment. BEEN can be run on Windows and Linux platforms and in limited way on any platform capable of running Java.
2. Regression benchmarking. It is easy to setup BEEN to scenarios such as download of the daily snapshot of a product from the source code repository, execution of specified benchmarks on the snapshot and processing of the results.
3. Automation. Everything is fully automatic from downloading and compilation of the benchmarked software, deploying software to hosts and running the benchmarks; to collecting and processing results. This allows for unattended execution of regression
4. benchmarks.
5. Complete statistical analysis and visualization of the results. Results of the benchmarks can be statistically processed and various graphs can be generated from the results. Standard statistical environment R is used at the core of the results processing component. The results are always stored as a raw data; no information is lost by the system.
6. User-friendly web interface. The whole framework is controlled through a unified web interface - there is no need to install any special applications and the framework can be controlled from any computer with a web browser. Special care was taken to
7. make the interface as easy to use as possible.
8. Logging and debugging facilities. Status of all BEEN components can be easily monitored. Almost every action in the system is logged and the logs are sent to a central repository, where they can be inspected via a web interface.
9. Extensibility. BEEN can be extended to support additional benchmarks via plugins. The statistical processing is customizable by writing scripts in the R language. User may use a rich library of built-in functions while working with the benchmark results.
