Test suite process update and dependencies/equality bug fixes

[lvenerosy]

• benchmarking test suite update
• package.json wrong dependencies fix
• equality relaxation fix
• version update to 0.4.4 in package.json

The "equality relaxation fix" is critical enough to publish a new version (I already modified the version in the package.json).
