Benchmark: Add new element to array: push vs push with i

Tests:

spread operator
var params = [ "hello", true, 7 ] for (let i = 0; i < params.length; i++) { params[i] = i }
Push
var params = [ "hello", true, 7 ]; params.push('new');

Let's break down the provided benchmark and explain what's being tested.

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark is defined as a JSON object that specifies two test cases:

1. `Add new element to array: push vs push with i`
2. Two individual test cases:
	* `spread operator`
	* `Push`

The benchmark definition doesn't provide any additional information about the script or HTML preparation codes.

**Test Cases**

Let's analyze each test case:

1. **`Add new element to array: push vs push with i`**
This test case is not explicitly defined in the provided JSON, but based on the individual test cases, it appears that this benchmark is comparing two approaches:
	* `Push`: using the `push()` method to add a new element to an array.
	* `Push with i`: Using a loop variable `i` to iterate over the existing elements in the array and then using `push()` to add a new element.

The pros of this approach:

* It allows users to compare the performance of both methods under controlled conditions.
* It ensures that the results are consistent across different browsers and hardware configurations.

Cons:

* It may not accurately represent real-world scenarios where developers might use these techniques in different contexts.
* It could be considered as a micro-optimization, which might not have significant impact on overall application performance.

2. **`spread operator`**
This test case defines a JavaScript benchmark that uses the spread operator (`...`) to create a new array from an existing one.

The pros of this approach:

* It's a concise and readable way to create new arrays in modern JavaScript.
* The results can provide insight into how different browsers handle this specific syntax.

Cons:

* This test case might be too narrow, as it only compares the performance of using the spread operator versus another method (push with i).

**Library and Special Features**

There are no libraries mentioned in the provided benchmark definition. However, the use of modern JavaScript features like the spread operator (`...`) is assumed to be part of the test cases.

The `Push` test case uses the built-in `push()` method to add a new element to an array, which is a fundamental JavaScript feature.

**Other Alternatives**

If you're interested in exploring other benchmarking options or approaches, here are some alternatives:

* **Benchmarking frameworks**: There are several popular benchmarking frameworks available for JavaScript, such as:
	+ Benchmark.js
	+ Fastbench
	+ JSPerf
* **Other test cases**: You can add more test cases to cover various scenarios, such as:
	+ Array iteration (e.g., `for`, `forEach`, `map`)
	+ Object manipulation (e.g., `Object.keys()`, `Object.values()`)
	+ DOM manipulation (e.g., inserting, removing, and updating elements)

Keep in mind that the specific test cases you choose will depend on your target audience, use case, and performance optimization goals.
