Research Notes: Barometer
Last updated: 2026-01-15 · Plugin v1.0.0 · BPTS v2.1.0
Current Test Status
- ✓Survived The Gauntlet™ (1,000,000 parameter mutations, 0 crashes)
- ✓Category 5 stress tests passing (25/25)
- ✓Zero audio artifacts detected in stress testing
- ✓Pluginval clean (strictness 10)
- ✓Zero memory leaks over 1 hour marathon test
Known Gaps
- ⚠DC offset detection missing from validateBuffer() — core stress test validation only checks NaN, Inf, and clipping. Affects all plugins using BPTS framework. Fix: add DC offset measurement with -60dBFS threshold (BPTS v2.2.0)
Why Public Research Notes?
I run mutation tests—intentionally injecting bugs into the plugin to verify the test suite actually catches them. It's how you find blind spots in your testing.
Transparency over perfection. If our tests have blind spots, you should know about them.
If you find a bug our tests missed, I genuinely want to know about it.
