soak-test

To detect memory leaks and performance drift during long play sessions, you need a soak test protocol with timed observation checkpoints and metric tables. This generates structured pre-session setup, engine-specific monitoring, and post-session analysis steps.

Endurance testing, or soak testing, identifies stability regressions and fatigue patterns missed by short playtests. Run a soak test during Polish and Release phases, after major feature merges, or when extended play has not been formally tracked.

Yes, the soak test protocol includes engine-specific monitoring instructions for Unity, Unreal, and Godot to capture memory usage, object counts, FPS, and other relevant engine metrics during your extended play sessions.

Generate a soak test protocol by specifying the duration and focus area, such as memory or stability. It creates a markdown protocol file with timed checkpoints and analysis guidance, written directly to your production/qa folder.

Track memory usage, object counts, FPS, and performance drift using timed checkpoint logs. The protocol measures stability issues, balance changes, and content or fun exhaustion across the extended session duration.

You can focus the soak test protocol on specific areas. The protocol generation can be tailored to your chosen focus, such as memory, stability, balance, or all combined, creating targeted metric tables and observation checkpoints.
