e2e framework benchmark — ios 2026-10-25

Fairness rules
- Same
.appfor every framework (sha256 recorded above) - Zero LLM calls
- Same assertions per canonical test id
- Same retry helpers (dropped first tap, dropped deep link, system alerts)
- Fresh app launch per test
retries=0- Frameworks run sequentially
caffeinate -dimsheld for the run- Warm medians exclude rep 1 (cold)
- Machine-readable reporters only
- Host otherwise idle; load average recorded
- Android
simcounts the app and every framework's on-device helpers (uiautomator, instrumentation runners, agent-device, Argent, warden-uiad), matched case-insensitively - Host processes are tracked by pid and start time, so a reused pid is never counted
- Android animation scales are reset to the device's original values before every framework and restored at the end
Summary

Warm suite wall time
- agent-device
Bar = warm median. Whisker = p95. Dot = cold rep 1. Lower is faster; ratios are against the fastest framework.

Median per test
- agent-device
Spread across warm reps
Whisker = min to max. Shaded box = min to p95. Tick = median. A distribution carries no quartiles, so the box is not an interquartile range.
Per-step latency
- agent-device
Whisker = min to max. Shaded box = min to p95. Tick = median. Only frameworks that report steps appear.
| Framework | Steps | Median | p95 | Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| agent-device | 632 | 479 ms | 1.62 s | 1.90 s |

CPU-s / rep is the host CPU time of the timed run (warm median) and the headline. CPU avg and peak are ps %cpu, a decaying average on macOS: they move with suite length, do not judge on them.
Where the CPU goes
One table per framework, from the warm-median rep's timed run (the rep whose host CPU-seconds is the lower median). Rows are processes grouped by label (top 12 per scope, the rest in other); host is the framework's own process tree, sim the simulator's launchd_sim tree (iOS only). Share is of the scope's CPU-seconds. RSS is the label's summed RSS per 500 ms tick (0 where it had no process). Spawns counts distinct pids a tick saw: a process that lives between two ticks is only seen through the (exit charge) rows (CPU of a child the bench ran, booked at its exit), so many short-lived xcrun simctl calls read low in Spawns and in CPU.
