 ## Run tests
 
-With `make check`, a suite of test programs will be compiled and run. Most of the tests are taken from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck), while [one test](test/pi.bf) has been created by [Felix Nawothnig](mailto:felix.nawothnig@t-online.de).

+## Benchmarks
+
+The following test case has been used for benchmarking the compiler: `factor.b` by [Brian Raiter](https://github.com/BR903/ELFkickers/blob/master/ebfc/bf) with input `6543210987654321`. The code has been compiled with different compilers and optimization levels.
