# Running AMM benchmarking tests
{% hint style="info" %}
INFO
The following section aims to help us run benchmarking tests on the Eclipse Network.
{% endhint %}
### Why AMM Benchmarking?[](https://icarus131.github.io/devcookbook/docs/Benchmarking#why-amm-benchmarking)
* Essentially, we want to test the performance of the Eclipse Network by obtaining the transactions per second (TPS) that the network can handle and its latency.
### Pre-requisites[](https://icarus131.github.io/devcookbook/docs/Benchmarking#pre-requisites)
* You will have to have nodejs installed on your machine. You can install it from [here](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
* Now, once you have that ready, you will have to clone our benchmarking repository. You can do that by running the following command:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Eclipse-Laboratories-Inc/eclipse-benchmarking/
```
* To do this you will also have to ensure that git is installed. You can install it from [here](https://git-scm.com/downloads).
### Running the benchmarking tests[](https://icarus131.github.io/devcookbook/docs/Benchmarking#running-the-benchmarking-tests)
* To run the benchmarking tests, you will first have to navigate to the `token_swap` folder after cloning the repository.
* First we need to install ts-node. To do this, run the following command:
```bash
npm i -g ts-node
```
{% hint style="warning" %}
WARNING
You might have to give super user or admin permissions to install globally or use the `-g` flag.
{% endhint %}
* Now we need to install the dependencies. To do this, run the following command:
```bash
npm i
```
* Make sure to run this command inside the `token_swap` folder.
* Now, the final step is to run the benchmarking tests using the following command:
```
ts-node spam.ts
```
* This runs 10 instances of an AMM performing any specified number of swaps.
### Modifying the benchmarking tests[](https://icarus131.github.io/devcookbook/docs/Benchmarking#modifying-the-benchmarking-tests)
* To modify the number of swaps, we will have to modify the benchmark.ts file inside the `token_swap` folder.
* The following is the code snippet that we will have to modify:
```tsx
...
await mintTo(connection, payer, mintA, userAccountA, owner, SWAP_AMOUNT_IN);
console.log("Run test: benchmark swap");
await benchmarkSwap(275);
console.log("Success\n");
```
* Here we can change the specified number of swaps. The default is 275.
* The above code snippet is located at line 63 in the benchmark.ts file.
### Example[](https://icarus131.github.io/devcookbook/docs/Benchmarking#example)
* If all the steps are followed correctly, you should see an output similar to the following:
