使用AppTimer进行软件应用程序的基准启动时间

While writing the Secure Computing series, we received a lot of requests to compare each security utility side by side, so let’s take a look at a free utility that will allow you to determine the amount of time an application takes to start up.

在编写“安全计算”系列时，我们收到了许多要求，以比较每个安全实用程序，因此，让我们看一下一个免费实用程序，它将使您能够确定应用程序启动所花费的时间。

PassMark’s AppTimer does not need installation and can run from a flash drive. Of course, this is only part of an overall evaluation of software performance, but comes in very handy.

PassMark的AppTimer不需要安装，可以从闪存驱动器运行。 当然，这只是软件性能总体评估的一部分，但是非常方便。

Using AppTimer

使用AppTimer

Download the file, unzip, and launch the executable.

下载文件，解压缩，然后启动可执行文件。

AppTimer runs a selected application a several times to calculate the amount of time it takes for it to get to a useable state.  For this first example we will take a look at Microsoft Outlook 2007.  When choosing an application Explorer opens so you can browse to the software executable to test (outlook.exe is at C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12).

AppTimer会多次运行选定的应用程序，以计算使其达到可用状态所需的时间。 对于第一个示例，我们将看一下Microsoft Outlook2007。选择应用程序时，资源管理器将打开，以便您浏览到可执行软件以进行测试(outlook.exe位于C：Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12 )。

AppTimer will keep logs of each test result so I created a directory to store those files.

AppTimer将保留每个测试结果的日志，因此我创建了一个目录来存储这些文件。

At this point let’s go ahead and run the test, make sure the app your testing is shutdown, just click Run App.

此时，让我们继续运行测试，确保您的测试应用程序已关闭，只需单击“运行应用程序”。

AppTimer will launch Outlook and you will notice information passing by in the Status field, and when completed you will get the following message.

AppTimer将启动Outlook，您将在“状态”字段中注意到传递的信息，完成后，您将收到以下消息。

Now we can open the saved log file and see the results which are in milliseconds.

现在，我们可以打开保存的日志文件，并查看结果(以毫秒为单位)。

Back to the user interface of AppTimer.  You can input different criteria for the tests, for example you can increase the number of test executions, change the delay time, and the way the application window is closed.  There is a handy file which explains every change that can be made.  The different options might be handy in determining different tests under various conditions.

返回到AppTimer的用户界面。 您可以为测试输入不同的条件，例如，可以增加测试执行的次数，更改延迟时间以及关闭应用程序窗口的方式。 有一个方便的文件，解释了可以进行的所有更改。 在各种条件下确定不同的测试时，可以使用不同的选项。

One interesting test for AppTimer would be to run tests on more intensive applications such as Photoshop.  Varying conditions on the computer can also change launch times.  For example if you launch several applications then test the start up time of say Photoshop.  Take those results and compare them against launching it with no applications running.  There are a multitude of tests you can run and compare with multiple system configurations.  For the truly geeky this is definitely a fun free utility.

AppTimer的一项有趣测试是在更密集的应用程序(例如Photoshop)上运行测试。 计算机上的各种条件也会改变启动时间。 例如，如果您启动几个应用程序，然后测试说Photoshop的启动时间。 取得这些结果，并将其与没有运行任何应用程序的情况下启动它们进行比较。 您可以运行多种测试，并与多种系统配置进行比较。 对于真正的怪胎，这绝对是一个有趣的免费实用程序。
