It is not difficult, in fact, the testing framework currently displays
the amount of time consumed by each subtest. The way I have it setup up
at the moment, those times are rounded up to milliseconds before being
displayed, which may not give fine enough granularity for some of the
tests. If so, it can be modified (times are recorded in microseconds).
As it is currently implemented, you get this timing info without having
to modify your tests whatsoever. If you wanted to do your own timing
inside the test, there's no reason that wouldn't work too. I've just
been using real_time_clock_usecs(). To display your results, be sure to
use the BTestCase::Outputf() function instead of printf()/cout (it
works as printf does). It doesn't really matter that much for
single-threaded tests, but for multi-threaded tests your output won't
necessarily get displayed when you expect it to otherwise.
I'm happy to help if anyone has any questions, or something seems
broken. And I do intend to clean up the testing framework a little bit
more if I ever get off my recently lazy butt and finish BMimeType. :-)
