What problem does it solve?
Ensuring the stability and quality of audio plugins is crucial but time-consuming. This skill provides a comprehensive suite of testing modes, allowing you to quickly identify and troubleshoot crashes, parameter issues, and performance bottlenecks, making sure your plugins are release-ready.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated C++ Tests: Run quick unit tests to validate core functionality and edge cases, especially for plugins with existing C++ test infrastructure (e.g., Catch2).
- Pluginval Integration: Leverage the industry-standard
pluginvaltool to perform rigorous validation on VST3 and AU formats at a strictness level of 10, catching 99% of issues before DAW testing. - Manual DAW Testing: Generate customized checklists to guide hands-on testing in your preferred Digital Audio Workstation, covering sonic quality, workflow, and user experience.
- Use Case: After fixing a bug in your 'Compressor' plugin, use the 'Build + pluginval' mode to quickly verify stability across formats and ensure no new regressions were introduced, preparing it for distribution.
