**BenchmarkDotNet** helps you to transform methods into benchmarks, track their performance, and share reproducible measurement experiments.
It's no harder than writing unit tests!
Under the hood, it performs a lot of [magic](#automation) that guarantees [reliable and precise](#reliability) results thanks to the [perfolizer](https://github.com/AndreyAkinshin/perfolizer) and [pragmastat](https://github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat) statistical engine.
BenchmarkDotNet protects you from popular benchmarking mistakes and warns you if something is wrong with your benchmark design or obtained measurements.
The results are presented in a [user-friendly](#friendliness) form that highlights all the important facts about your experiment.
BenchmarkDotNet is already adopted by [27400+ GitHub projects](https://github.com/dotnet/BenchmarkDotNet/network/dependents) including
  [.NET Runtime](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime),
  [.NET Compiler](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn),
  [.NET Performance](https://github.com/dotnet/performance),
  and many others.

It's [easy](#simplicity) to start writing benchmarks, check out the following example
  (copy-pastable version is [here](https://benchmarkdotnet.org/articles/guides/getting-started.html)):

```cs
[SimpleJob(RuntimeMoniker.Net472, baseline: true)]
[SimpleJob(RuntimeMoniker.NetCoreApp30)]
[SimpleJob(RuntimeMoniker.NativeAot70)]
[SimpleJob(RuntimeMoniker.Mono)]
[RPlotExporter]
public class Md5VsSha256
{
    private SHA256 sha256 = SHA256.Create();
    private MD5 md5 = MD5.Create();
    private byte[] data;
