That's a lot of work and would be a large project in itself to separate the test driver to different query formats and have it drivable from multiple programming languages.

I implemented a toy Cypher database (samsquire/hash-db) and I just use a python test script. I am yet to benchmark, the performance is probably poor.

I tried running standardised SQL benchmarks against MySQL but the benchmark code fell behind the MySQL client and it's work to maintain it.

I inherited a Jepsen suite to test ActiveMQ and it wasn't easy to understand

Testing can be a full time job!

Yes, testing and benchmarking is a full-time job! The extra issue here is making it work under a single client to minimise latency penalties across measurements, then, there is also a protocol issue. Nice project with hash-db, I guess it is quite the learning experience(distributed-multimodal)?
