SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you surface slow, session-length-only issues (like memory leaks, performance drift, stability regressions, and fun fatigue) by turning an extended play requirement into a structured observation protocol.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Timed endurance checkpoints: Generates observation checkpoints based on chosen duration (30m, 1h, 2h, 4h) to capture trends rather than one-off behavior.
  • Focus-driven observation: Produces tailored checklist items for memory, stability, and balance/fatigue so you test what matters for the current QA goal.
  • Human-run analysis harness: Creates a ready-to-fill document template for baseline, per-checkpoint logs, and post-session verdict including PASS/PASS WITH CONCERNS/FAIL.

Use case examples:

  • After a memory or stability fix, run a regression soak to confirm the issue does not reappear after sustained play.
  • During Polish, run a long-session soak to find leaks or state accumulation bugs that never show up in short playtests.

Quick Start

Use the skill soak-test with a duration and focus by telling: "Generate a soak test protocol for 2h focusing on all for my current release Polish phase."

Frequently Asked Questions about soak-test

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a soak test protocol for extended play sessions?▼

A soak test protocol applies timed endurance checkpoints to capture memory, stability, and fatigue observations over extended play sessions. It produces a dated output document defining checkpoint schedules and PASS/FAIL analysis criteria.

What is a soak test used for in QA and release gate preparation?▼

A soak test surfaces slow, session-length-only issues like memory leaks, performance drift, and stability regressions absent in short playtests. It provides a structured observation protocol for Polish phase and release gate preparation.

How do I run a regression soak after a memory leak or stability fix?▼

Run a regression soak by generating a focus-driven protocol with memory and stability checklist items. It creates a ready-to-fill template for baseline, per-checkpoint logs, and a post-session verdict including PASS WITH CONCERNS or FAIL.

Can I generate endurance checkpoints for different soak test durations?▼

Yes, endurance checkpoints can be generated for 30m, 1h, 2h, or 4h soak test durations. The protocol captures behavioral trends rather than one-off issues by scheduling checkpoints tailored to your chosen duration.

Does the soak test protocol include engine-specific monitoring guidance?▼

Yes, the soak test protocol specifies engine-specific monitoring guidance alongside memory, stability, and fatigue checklists. This ensures you capture the correct telemetry and state accumulation data for your specific environment.

What are the limitations of a human-run soak test analysis harness?▼

A human-run soak test harness requires manual observation and data entry into a document template. It does not automate memory or stability tracking, meaning testers must actively log per-checkpoint data and determine the final PASS/FAIL verdict.
