Performance Test using inhouse software

[Fenixdood]

Hi,

I am looking for thoughts on my task. I need to Benchmark Computers using inhouse software. I need to gain a control point firstly then I would like to benchmark the system with our software running. Using PT does tend to flood all the resources making my software chug along. So I would like to test my system just using our software and gain performance metrics from both tests. I have tried running passmark and our software for scores, but am curious if anyone has other ideas how to get non synthetic results.

If you just want to benchmark your in house software, why not just benchmark it. e.g. time how long it takes to start and perform some pre-defined operation.

Why involve any other software (3rd party or in house)? I don't think it makes sense to run 2 different benchmarks at the same time.
