## RSpec profiling
GitLab's development environment also includes the
[rspec_profiling](https://github.com/foraker/rspec_profiling) gem, which is used
to collect data on spec execution times. This is useful for analyzing the
performance of the test suite itself, or seeing how the performance of a spec
may have changed over time.
To activate profiling in your local environment, run the following:
```
$ export RSPEC_PROFILING=yes
$ rake rspec_profiling:install
```
This creates an SQLite3 database in `tmp/rspec_profiling`, into which statistics
are saved every time you run specs with the `RSPEC_PROFILING` environment
variable set.
Ad-hoc investigation of the collected results can be performed in an interactive
shell:
```
$ rake rspec_profiling:console
irb(main):001:0> results.count
=> 231
irb(main):002:0> results.last.attributes.keys
=> ["id", "commit", "date", "file", "line_number", "description", "time", "status", "exception", "query_count", "query_time", "request_count", "request_time", "created_at", "updated_at"]
irb(main):003:0> results.where(status: "passed").average(:time).to_s
=> "0.211340155844156"
```
These results can also be placed into a PostgreSQL database by setting the
`RSPEC_PROFILING_POSTGRES_URL` variable. This is used to profile the test suite
when running in the CI environment.
## Importance of Changes
When working on performance improvements, it's important to always ask yourself
