Plugin Testing

About

Designed specifically for JUCE-based audio development, this skill ensures plugin reliability by catching crashes, parameter issues, and state management bugs before release. It offers a tiered testing approach ranging from rapid two-minute automated scripts to comprehensive industry-standard validation using pluginval and customized manual testing checklists for DAWs. By integrating failure investigation and automated logging, it provides developers with a structured path to diagnose DSP issues, threading problems, and platform-specific failures, ensuring every plugin meets professional stability standards.
