Performance Audit System

Overview

The Performance Audit System is a comprehensive automated tool for analyzing all performance aspects of the teachLink Mobile app. It generates detailed reports with prioritized recommendations for optimization.

Features

📊 Comprehensive Analysis

The audit system analyzes 7 key performance dimensions:

- Duplicate modules detection
- Large file identification
- Unused dependencies
Memory Management
- Heap usage analysis
- Memory leak detection
- Large object identification
- Memory trend tracking
Render Performance
- Component render time analysis
- Slow component identification
- Re-render issue detection
- Animation performance metrics
Network Optimization
- API endpoint performance
- Request deduplication opportunities
- Asset optimization
- Cache metrics
- Data transfer analysis
Dependency Management
- Vulnerability detection
- Outdated dependency tracking
- License compliance checking
- Transitive dependency analysis
Runtime Performance
- App startup time
- Time to interactive
- First paint metrics
- CPU usage analysis
- JavaScript execution time
Asset Optimization

Quick Start

Running an Audit

# Run basic audit (JSON output)
npm run audit:performance

# Generate HTML report
npm run audit:performance:html

# Generate all formats
npm run audit:performance:all

# Watch mode (re-run on changes)
npm run audit:performance:watch

# Compare with baseline
npm run audit:performance:compare

Saving Baseline

# Save current audit as baseline for future comparisons
npm run audit:save-baseline

CLI Usage

npm run audit:performance [options]

Options:
  -h, --help              Show help message
  -f, --format FORMAT     Output format: json, html, markdown, all (default: json)
  -o, --output PATH       Output file path
  -q, --quiet             Suppress verbose output
  -c, --compare           Compare with baseline
  --baseline FILE         Baseline file (default: audit-baseline.json)
  -w, --watch             Watch for changes and re-run

Examples:
  npm run audit:performance
  npm run audit:performance:html
  npm run audit:performance --format all --output ./reports/audit
  npm run audit:performance --compare
  npm run audit:performance:watch

Programmatic Usage

import { PerformanceAuditor } from '@/audit';

// Create auditor
const auditor = new PerformanceAuditor(process.cwd(), {
  verbose: true,
  format: 'all',
  outputPath: './reports/audit',
});

// Run audit
const report = await auditor.runAudit();

// Generate reports
const files = await auditor.auditAndReport(['json', 'html', 'markdown']);

// Check status
const status = await auditor.getStatus();
