The debate about the rightful use of microbenchmarking stems from the fact that optimizing a code before it is actually completed and used for a particular task takes away its impact in a commercial environment.

If you keep testing every bit of code that you write as a programmer, then the whole process becomes extremely slow and difficult to follow in a dedicated and shortened timeline. Most programmers believe that the attempt to optimize code without finishing functionality results in a poorly developed situation.

Microbenchmarking continues to be a great tool, when it is used in...
