  • Signal-Driven Approach to Testing Audio DSP

    From signal analysis to release confidence
    00:00 - 00:00 UTC | Monday 9th November 2026 |
    Intermediate

    The validation of rendered audio DSP output in C++ is uniquely challenging due to block processing, stateful DSP, latency, floating-point behavior, and lack of specialized tooling. Existing testing frameworks are excellent for general software development, but rarely expose audio-oriented validation routines or signal-analysis primitives. As a result, automated validation of audio behavior is still often viewed as too challenging and time-consuming in real-world DSP projects. HART framework is presented as one possible implementation of a modern offline block-by-block rendering workflow for automated DSP validation. The talk focuses on practical DSP validation workflows and reusable validation patterns rather than framework internals […]
