AppTimer 1.0 build 1006

AppTimer 1.0 build 1006 is designed as a useful and totally free utility which reliably benchmarks the time it takes for an application to launch.

Users can specify the application they wish to test, the amount of runs to perform and wait time between runs. After user configuration, AppTimer opens, times and closes the specified application in an automated manner, logging the application's startup time to a test file.

It's main use is in benchmarking an application's startup time. Using AppTimer will give far a more consistent and repeatable measurement than manual measurements with a stopwatch. Especially when the applications startup time is less than a couple of seconds.

Major Features:

1. Compare performance of different products on the same hardware, or compare performance of the same product on different hardware.
2. Run an executable a number of times and time how long it takes for the application to reach a state where user input is being accepted before exiting the application.
3. Close the application in an automated fashion while logging the startup time measurements to a log file.

Requirements:

• Windows 2000, XP, 2003 Server, Vista.
• 16 MB RAM, 1 MB of disk space.
