Phoronix Test Suite is an open source comprehensive testing and benchmarking platform that provides an extensible framework for which new tests can be easily added.
The suite aims to undertake both qualitative and quantitative benchmarks in a clean, reproducible, and easy-to-use manner.
Phoronix Test Suite.
The Phoronix Test Suite allows for carrying out tests in a fully automated manner from test installation to execution and reporting. All tests are meant to be easily reproducible, easy-to-use, and support fully automated execution.
It doesn't have a GUI, it uses Shellscript in terminal mode.
