To prevent test contamination in Unreal Engine shared-world environments, implement orphan probe detection and proper signal-driven step machines. These specific patterns isolate shared-world state, preventing test leakage and ensuring deterministic execution.

The three-slice coverage shape for game testing enforces Unit, Compose, and End-to-end test layers. This behavioral coverage model ensures features are tested at the correct granularity, providing consistent verification across different levels of game logic.

Choose between an AutoTest and a full Gauntlet process by consulting the consumer testing policy for CkFoundation-based games. This policy determines the appropriate test layer and coverage requirements based on the feature's behavioral scope and replication needs.

Yes, this testing policy supports signal-driven AutoTests for ECS game development. It defines the implementation of signal-driven step machines to ensure deterministic test execution, proper replication handling, and evidence-based verification standards.

Game tests fail due to shared-world state interference when orphan probes or signal-driven step machines are improperly implemented. Mitigate this shared-world contamination trap by enforcing strict test isolation and proper replication handling as defined by the testing policy.

This testing discipline specifically defines the consumer testing policy for CkFoundation-based games. While the contamination control patterns may be conceptually applicable, the coverage norms and signal-driven AutoTests are tailored for CkFoundation environments.
