feat/feedback-loop-for-unmatched-test-results.📄 16% (0.16x) speedup for
parse_test_failures_from_stdoutincodeflash/verification/parse_test_output.py⏱️ Runtime :
2.76 milliseconds→2.39 milliseconds(best of250runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 15% speedup through several targeted micro-optimizations that reduce computational overhead in the parsing loop:
Key Optimizations:
Single-pass boundary search: Instead of checking both conditions (
start_line != -1 and end_line != -1) on every iteration, the optimized version usesNonevalues and breaks immediately when both markers are found, eliminating redundant condition checks.Fast-path string matching: Before calling the expensive
.startswith("_______")method, it first checks ifline[0] == "_", avoiding the method call for most lines that don't start with underscores.Method lookup optimization: Pulls
current_failure_lines.appendinto a local variable to avoid repeated attribute lookups in the hot loop where failure lines are processed.Memory-efficient list management: Uses
current_failure_lines.clear()instead of creating new list objects (current_failure_lines = []), reducing object allocation pressure.Performance Impact:
The optimizations show the most significant gains in large-scale scenarios:
Hot Path Context:
Based on the function reference,
parse_test_failures_from_stdoutis called fromparse_test_results, which appears to be part of a test optimization pipeline. The function processes pytest stdout to extract failure information, making it performance-critical when dealing with large test suites or verbose test outputs. The 15% improvement becomes meaningful when processing hundreds of test failures in CI/CD environments or during iterative code optimization workflows.✅ Correctness verification report:
