## 🔥 CHAPTER 8: CONCLUSIONS (Currently 42 lines → Target: 120+ lines)
**File**: `latex/tex/8-podsumowanie.tex`
### 8.1 Main Research Findings
**Write clear, numbered findings**:
1. **Unity przewyższa Unreal w grach 2D**: Testy wykazały 20-30% lepszą wydajność Unity w renderowaniu 2D, głównie dzięki dedykowanemu pipeline 2D.
2. **Unreal Engine dominuje w grafice 3D wysokiej jakości**: Dla złożonych scen 3D, Unreal oferuje lepszą wydajność przy zachowaniu wyższej jakości wizualnej.
3. **Dokumentacja Unity jest znacząco lepsza**: 100% respondentów oceniło dokumentację Unity jako bardziej kompletną i przydatną.
4. **Krzywa uczenia się Unity jest łagodniejsza**: Początkujący potrzebują średnio 2-3 miesięcy do produktywnej pracy w Unity vs. 4-6 miesięcy w Unreal.
5. **Object pooling jest krytyczny dla wydajności**: W grach typu bullet-hell, object pooling poprawił wydajność o 40-60% w obu silnikach.
(Continue with 5-10 clear findings)
### 8.2 Answer Research Questions
**From Chapter 1, answer each question**:
Example:
```latex
\textbf{Pytanie badawcze 1}: Który silnik oferuje lepszą wydajność dla gier 2D?
\textbf{Odpowiedź}: Unity oferuje lepszą wydajność dla gier 2D dzięki...
\textbf{Pytanie badawcze 2}: Jak różnią się przepływy pracy w obu silnikach?
\textbf{Odpowiedź}: Unity oferuje bardziej elastyczny workflow, podczas gdy
Unreal narzuca bardziej ustrukturyzowane podejście...
```
### 8.3 Practical Recommendations

### 8.5 Limitations of Research
**Be honest about**:
- Limited to one game genre
- Small interview sample
- Single hardware configuration
- Snapshot in time (engines evolve)
- Author's limited experience with Unreal compared to Unity
### 8.6 Future Research Directions
**Suggest**:
- Longitudinal study tracking engine evolution over 2-3 years
- Comparison across more game genres (RPG, strategy, puzzle)
- Larger interview study (100+ developers, international)
- Performance comparison on different hardware tiers
- Mobile-specific performance comparison
- Comparison of asset pipelines and team collaboration
- Study of maintenance costs over time
### 8.7 Final Reflections
**Personal insights**:
- What surprised you during research?
- How has your view of engines changed?
- What would you do differently?
- What advice for future researchers?
**End strongly**:
```latex
Niniejsza praca wykazała, że nie istnieje jednoznaczna odpowiedź na pytanie
,,który silnik jest lepszy''. Zarówno Unity, jak i Unreal Engine mają swoje
unikalne zalety i są optymalizowane pod różne przypadki użycia. Kluczem do
sukcesu jest świadomy wybór narzędzia dopasowanego do konkretnego projektu,
zespołu i celów biznesowych. W dynamicznie rozwijającej się branży gier,
znajomość obu silników staje się coraz bardziej wartościową umiejętnością.

- Note current Unreal version
- [ ] Start drafting Chapter 4 methodology (1-2 hours)
- Add hardware specs
- Add software versions
- Describe test scenarios you plan to run
**If you do this today, you'll be ahead of schedule! 🎉**
---
## 🎯 The Critical Path (What Matters Most)
If you only focus on 3 things, make it these:
### 1. **Week 1: Get the Data** (Most Important!)
Without performance data from NVIDIA Nsight, you have no thesis. This is THE critical week.
**Your entire Week 1 focus**: Run tests, collect metrics, create graphs.
### 2. **Week 2: Write the Analysis**
Take your data and write Chapters 5, 6, 7, 8. This is where you explain what the data means.
### 3. **Week 3: Polish Everything**
Make it look professional, fix errors, add bibliography, create nice figures.
Week 4 is buffer time and final submission prep.
---
## ⏰ Daily Work Schedule Recommendation
### Best Schedule:
```
Weekdays (Mon-Thu): 4 hours
09:00-09:15 Check DAILY_CHECKLIST.md, plan your day
09:15-13:15 DEEP WORK (4 hours focused work)
OR
14:00-18:00 DEEP WORK (4 hours focused work - if afternoon works better)
Weekends (Fri-Sun): 8 hours
09:00-09:15 Check DAILY_CHECKLIST.md, plan your day
09:15-13:00 DEEP WORK SESSION 1 (4 hours)
13:00-14:00 Lunch break (actually rest!)
14:00-18:00 DEEP WORK SESSION 2 (4 hours)
```
**Total**: 4 hours/day weekdays, 8 hours/day weekends
### Pomodoro Technique (Highly Recommended):
- Work: 25 minutes of pure focus
- Break: 5 minutes (walk, stretch, water)
- Repeat 4x
- Long break: 15-30 minutes
- Repeat
**Tool**: Use https://pomofocus.io/ or any timer app

## 🔥 Common Pitfalls to Avoid
### ❌ DON'T:
1. **Don't start writing without data** - Get Nsight data first!
2. **Don't perfectionism-block** - Done > Perfect
3. **Don't skip daily review** - Check DAILY_CHECKLIST.md every morning
4. **Don't work 12+ hour days** - You'll burn out
5. **Don't skip sleep/food** - Your brain needs fuel
6. **Don't ignore advisor** - Send draft by Feb 6 at latest
7. **Don't procrastinate Week 1** - It's the most critical
### ✅ DO:
1. **Start with hardest task** each day
2. **Use Pomodoro technique** for focus
3. **Track your progress** daily
4. **Take real breaks** (walk, exercise)
5. **Back up your work** multiple times daily
6. **Ask for help** when stuck
7. **Celebrate small wins** each day
---
## 🆘 If You Get Stuck
### Problem: "I don't know what to write in Chapter X"
**Solution**: Open CHAPTER_GUIDE.md and read the section for that chapter. It has detailed instructions and examples.
### Problem: "NVIDIA Nsight isn't working"
**Solution**:
1. Check NVIDIA forums: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/
2. Use Unity/Unreal built-in profilers as backup (document limitations)
3. Ask on GitHub Issues in your repo
### Problem: "I'm behind schedule"
**Solution**:
1. Check CHAPTER_GUIDE.md "Priority Order" section
2. Focus on Chapters 5, 7, 8 first (the core)
3. Chapters 4 and 6 can be shorter if needed
4. Appendices are nice-to-have, not essential
### Problem: "I'm overwhelmed"
**Solution**:
1. Take a 15-minute break RIGHT NOW
2. Come back and look at JUST TODAY in DAILY_CHECKLIST.md
3. Focus on completing ONE task at a time
4. Don't think about the whole thesis, just the next 2 hours
### Problem: "The data doesn't show what I expected"
**Solution**:
1. That's OK! Science is about truth, not confirmation
2. Write what you actually found
3. Explain why results might differ from expectations
4. This actually makes your thesis MORE credible
---
## 💾 Backup Strategy (CRITICAL!)
### Every Day:
- [ ] Git commit and push (use report_progress)
- [ ] Copy thesis folder to USB drive or external hard drive
- [ ] Upload latest PDF to cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
### Why This Matters:
Losing your thesis 2 days before deadline is a nightmare scenario. **Back up EVERY day!**
---
## 📱 Tools You Should Have Ready
### Essential:
- [x] NVIDIA Nsight Graphics (get it today!)
- [x] LaTeX editor (or use Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/)
- [x] Spreadsheet software (LibreOffice Calc, Excel, or Google Sheets)
- [x] Graph creation tool (Python matplotlib, Excel, or online tools)
- [x] Timer/Pomodoro app
### Nice to Have:
- [ ] Grammarly or LanguageTool (for proofreading)
- [ ] Git GUI (GitKraken, GitHub Desktop)
- [ ] Mind mapping tool (for organizing ideas)

## 🎓 Academic Writing Quick Tips
### For Performance Results (Chapter 5):
```latex
% BAD:
Unreal was faster.
% GOOD:
Jak przedstawiono w Tabeli 5.1, Unreal Engine osiągnęło średni czas
klatki 6.9 ms, co stanowi poprawę o 17% w porównaniu do Unity (8.3 ms)
w scenariuszu średniej trudności.
```
### For Conclusions (Chapter 8):
```latex
% BAD:
Unity jest lepsze dla początkujących.
% GOOD:
Na podstawie przeprowadzonych wywiadów oraz analizy dokumentacji,
Unity wykazuje niższy próg wejścia dla początkujących deweloperów.
Respondenci z mniej niż 2-letnim doświadczeniem w branży (n=3)
jednogłośnie wskazali Unity jako bardziej przystępne, głównie ze
względu na obszerną dokumentację (por. Rozdział X) oraz większą
dostępność materiałów edukacyjnych w języku polskim.
```
### Always:
- Cite your sources: `\cite{author2024}`
- Reference your tables: `Tabela \ref{tab:results}`
- Reference your figures: `Rysunek \ref{fig:comparison}`
- Use data to support claims

\section{Testy wydajności}
\label{sec:testy-wydajnosci}
\subsection{Metodyka przeprowadzania testów}
\subsubsection{Przygotowanie środowiska testowego}
Wszystkie testy wydajnościowe przeprowadzono w~kontrolowanych warunkach, zapewniających powtarzalność i~porównywalność wyników~\cite{petridis2012benchmarking}. Przed każdym cyklem pomiarowym wykonano następujące kroki przygotowawcze:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Zamknięto wszystkie aplikacje działające w~tle
\item Wyłączono automatyczne aktualizacje systemu operacyjnego
\item Odczekano 1~minutę na stabilizację temperatury komponentów
\item Wykonano jeden pomiar próbny przed rejestracją właściwych wyników
\end{enumerate}
\subsubsection{Standaryzacja warunków testowych}
Aby zapewnić porównywalność wyników między Unity a~Unreal Engine, opracowano trzy scenariusze testowe o~zróżnicowanym poziomie obciążenia. Każdy scenariusz został zaimplementowany w~identyczny sposób w~obu silnikach, z~następującymi parametrami:
\begin{table}[h!]
\centering
\caption{Parametry scenariuszy testowych}
\label{tab:test-scenarios}
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Parametr} & \textbf{Niski} & \textbf{Średni} & \textbf{Wysoki} \\
\hline\hline
Liczba pocisków & 50--100 & 200--300 & 500+ \\
\hline
Liczba przeciwników & 2--3 & 5--7 & 10+ \\
\hline
Czas trwania testu & 30 s & 30 s & 30 s \\
\hline
Liczba pomiarów & 5 & 5 & 5 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\subsection{Scenariusze testowe gry bullet-hell}
\subsubsection{Scenariusz 1: Niski poziom trudności (baseline)}
\paragraph{Cel testu}
Ustalenie wydajności bazowej przy minimalnym obciążeniu systemu renderowania i~fizyki.
\paragraph{Parametry}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Liczba pocisków na ekranie}: 50--100 jednocześnie
\item \textbf{Aktywni przeciwnicy}: 2--3 jednostki
\item \textbf{Czas trwania pomiaru}: 30 sekund
\item \textbf{Liczba powtórzeń}: 5 przechwytów klatek w~odstępach 5-sekundowych
\end{itemize}
\paragraph{Oczekiwane rezultaty}
W~scenariuszu bazowym oczekiwano stabilnej częstotliwości odświeżania na poziomie 60~FPS, niskiego wykorzystania GPU~(<50\%) oraz minimalnego zużycia pamięci.
\subsubsection{Scenariusz 2: Średni poziom trudności}
\paragraph{Cel testu}
Ocena wydajności przy umiarkowanym obciążeniu systemu, symulująca typową rozgrywkę.
\paragraph{Parametry}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Liczba pocisków na ekranie}: 200--300 jednocześnie
\item \textbf{Aktywni przeciwnicy}: 5--7 jednostek
\item \textbf{Czas trwania pomiaru}: 30 sekund
\item \textbf{Liczba powtórzeń}: 5 przechwytów klatek w~odstępach 5-sekundowych
\end{itemize}
\paragraph{Oczekiwane rezultaty}
Przewidywano umiarkowane wykorzystanie GPU~(50--70\%), możliwe niewielkie spadki częstotliwości klatek oraz wzrost zużycia pamięci.
\subsubsection{Scenariusz 3: Wysoki poziom trudności (test obciążeniowy)}
\paragraph{Cel testu}
Weryfikacja wydajności w~ekstremalnych warunkach przy maksymalnym obciążeniu systemu.
\paragraph{Parametry}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Liczba pocisków na ekranie}: 500+ jednocześnie
\item \textbf{Aktywni przeciwnicy}: 10+ jednostek
\item \textbf{Czas trwania pomiaru}: 30 sekund
\item \textbf{Liczba powtórzeń}: 5 przechwytów klatek w~odstępach 5-sekundowych
\end{itemize}
\paragraph{Oczekiwane rezultaty}
W~scenariuszu obciążeniowym spodziewano się wysokiego wykorzystania GPU~(>70\%), potencjalnych spadków wydajności oraz maksymalnego zaobserwowanego zużycia pamięci.
\subsection{Metryki wydajności}
\subsubsection{Zbierane dane}
Dla każdego scenariusza i~silnika rejestrowano następujące metryki przy użyciu NVIDIA Nsight Graphics:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Czas klatki} (frame time) -- czas renderowania pojedynczej klatki w~milisekundach
\item \textbf{FPS} (frames per second) -- liczba klatek na sekundę, wyliczana jako $1000 / \text{frame time}$
\item \textbf{Wykorzystanie GPU} -- procent wykorzystania mocy obliczeniowej karty graficznej
\item \textbf{Zużycie pamięci VRAM} -- ilość zajętej pamięci karty graficznej w~megabajtach
\item \textbf{Liczba wywołań rysowania} (draw calls) -- liczba instrukcji renderowania na klatkę
\item \textbf{Liczba wierzchołków} -- całkowita liczba przetworzonych wierzchołków na klatkę
\end{itemize}

\item \textbf{Firmy szkoleniowe} -- do~planowania ścieżek edukacyjnych
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Ograniczenia i przyszłe badania}
\subsubsection{Identyfikacja ograniczeń}
Przeprowadzone badania posiadają następujące ograniczenia:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Zakres czasowy} -- silniki ewoluują szybko; wyniki mogą się zdezaktualizować w~ciągu 12-24 miesięcy
\item \textbf{Zakres gatunkowy} -- koncentracja na~grach typu bullet-hell nie~pokrywa wszystkich możliwych zastosowań
\item \textbf{Konfiguracja sprzętowa} -- testy na~pojedynczej maszynie nie~uwzględniają różnorodności sprzętu graczy
\item \textbf{Próba badawcza} -- 8~wywiadów to~relatywnie mała próba, choć~wystarczająca dla~badań jakościowych
\item \textbf{Perspektywa geograficzna} -- fokus na~polskiej społeczności może nie~odzwierciedlać trendów globalnych
\end{enumerate}
\subsubsection{Propozycje dalszych badań}
Na~podstawie zidentyfikowanych ograniczeń proponuje się następujące kierunki przyszłych badań:
\paragraph{Badania longitudinalne}
Śledzenie wydajności obu silników przez~2-3~lata, dokumentując wpływ kolejnych aktualizacji na~wydajność i~funkcjonalność.
\paragraph{Rozszerzenie zakresu gatunkowego}
Przeprowadzenie analogicznych testów dla:
\begin{itemize}
\item Gier RPG (open world)
\item Gier strategicznych czasu rzeczywistego
\item Gier puzzle
\item Symulatorów
\end{itemize}
\paragraph{Testy wieloplatformowe}
Porównanie wydajności na~różnych konfiguracjach sprzętowych:
\begin{itemize}
\item PC low-end, mid-range, high-end
\item Urządzenia mobilne (Android, iOS)
\item Konsole (PlayStation, Xbox, Switch)
\end{itemize}
\paragraph{Badania społeczności międzynarodowej}
Rozszerzenie wywiadów na~deweloperów z~różnych krajów i~kultur, co~pozwoliłoby na~identyfikację różnic regionalnych w~preferencjach i~doświadczeniach.
\paragraph{Analiza ekonomiczna}
Badanie Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) dla~projektów w~Unity vs Unreal, uwzględniające:
\begin{itemize}
\item Czas nauki dla~zespołu
\item Koszt licencji i~narzędzi dodatkowych
\item Koszt assetów i~rozszerzeń
\item Czas rozwoju projektu
\item Koszty maintenance i~aktualizacji
\end{itemize}
\paragraph{Badania UX deweloperów}
Szczegółowa analiza user experience programistów i~artystów pracujących w~obu silnikach, z~wykorzystaniem metod:
\begin{itemize}
\item Eye tracking podczas pracy w~edytorze
\item Think-aloud protocols
\item Kwestionariusze SUS (System Usability Scale)
\item Pomiary czasu wykonania typowych zadań
\end{itemize}
\subsubsection{Rozwój metodologii}
Przyszłe badania mogłyby udoskonalić metodologię poprzez:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Automatyzację testów} -- stworzenie frameworka do~automatycznego uruchamiania i~profilowania scenariuszy testowych
\item \textbf{Standaryzację metryk} -- opracowanie branżowego standardu pomiaru wydajności silników gier
\item \textbf{Większą próbę} -- przeprowadzenie badań ilościowych na~próbie 100+ deweloperów
\item \textbf{Testy A/B} -- eksperymentalne porównanie czasu rozwoju tych samych projektów w~obu silnikach
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Refleksje końcowe}
Przeprowadzone badania potwierdzają, że~nie~istnieje jednoznaczna odpowiedź na~pytanie ,,który silnik jest lepszy''. Zarówno Unity, jak i~Unreal Engine mają swoje unikalne zalety i~są optymalizowane pod~różne przypadki użycia.
Unity dominuje na~rynku gier mobilnych i~2D oraz~stanowi lepszy wybór dla~początkujących, podczas gdy~Unreal Engine jest standardem dla~produkcji AAA wymagających najwyższej jakości grafiki.
Kluczem do~sukcesu jest \textbf{świadomy wybór narzędzia dopasowanego do~konkretnego projektu}, zespołu i~celów biznesowych. W~dynamicznie rozwijającej się branży gier, znajomość obu silników staje się coraz bardziej wartościową umiejętnością.
\subsection{Znaczenie wyników w kontekście rozwoju technologii}
Obserwowany rozwój silników gier wskazuje na~kilka kluczowych trendów:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Demokratyzacja tworzenia gier} -- oba silniki stają się coraz bardziej dostępne dla~indywidualnych twórców
\item \textbf{Konwergencja funkcjonalności} -- Unity dogania Unreal w~zakresie grafiki, Unreal staje się bardziej przyjazny dla~początkujących
\item \textbf{Wzrost znaczenia ekosystemu} -- assety, pluginy i~społeczność stają się równie ważne jak~sam silnik
\item \textbf{Cloud gaming} -- nowe platformy strumieniowania gier mogą zmienić wymagania wydajnościowe
\end{enumerate}
Przyszłość prawdopodobnie przyniesie dalszą specjalizację -- Unity będzie dominować na~mobile i~indie, Unreal w~AAA i~wysokobudżetowych produkcjach -- ale~z~rosnącą obszarem nakładania się możliwości, co~daje deweloperom większą swobodę wyboru.
\vspace{1cm}
\noindent
Niniejsza praca stanowi wkład w~systematyzację wiedzy o~współczesnych silnikach gier i~może służyć jako punkt odniesienia dla~przyszłych badań w~tej dynamicznie rozwijającej się dziedzinie.

2. Review the generated `hardware_specs.tex` file
3. Update Unity, Unreal Engine, and NVIDIA Nsight version numbers
4. Copy the content to `latex/tex/4-metodologia.tex`
---
## Test Scenarios Document
### `test_scenarios.md`
**Purpose**: Comprehensive guide for performance testing methodology.
**Contents**:
- Detailed test scenarios (Low, Medium, High difficulty)
- Performance metrics to capture
- Step-by-step data collection procedure
- Quality assurance checklist
- Expected outputs and timeline
**How to use**:
1. Read through the entire document before starting tests
2. Follow the procedure for each scenario
3. Use as a checklist during testing
4. Reference when writing Chapter 5 (Performance Tests)
---
## Unity Testing Helper
### `run_unity_test.sh`
**Purpose**: Interactive guide for running Unity performance tests with NVIDIA Nsight.
**Usage**:
```bash
cd /home/runner/work/praca_magisterska/praca_magisterska/scripts
./run_unity_test.sh
```
**Features**:
- Interactive prompts for scenario selection (Low/Medium/High)
- Pre-test checklist reminder
- Timed prompts for frame captures at correct intervals
- File naming conventions for organized data
- Step-by-step guidance through the testing process
**What it does**:
1. Checks if NVIDIA Nsight is installed
2. Prompts for scenario selection
3. Guides through pre-test setup
4. Provides timed reminders for 5 frame captures
5. Reminds about exporting metrics and taking screenshots
**Output organization**:
- `unity_[scenario]_capture_[1-5].nsight` - Nsight capture files
- `unity_[scenario]_capture_[1-5]_metrics.csv` - Exported metrics
- `screenshots/unity/[scenario]/*.png` - Screenshots
---
## Creating Additional Scripts
If you need to create more helper scripts, follow these conventions:
1. **Naming**: Use lowercase with underscores (e.g., `analyze_results.sh`)
2. **Permissions**: Make executable with `chmod +x script_name.sh`
3. **Documentation**: Add a section to this README explaining the script
4. **Error handling**: Include checks for required tools/files
5. **Output**: Save generated files to appropriate directories
---
## Tips for Using Scripts
1. **Run from repository root**: Most scripts assume you're in the main repository directory
2. **Check dependencies**: Scripts may require `nvidia-smi`, `lscpu`, etc.
3. **Review outputs**: Always review generated files before using them in the thesis
4. **Customize as needed**: Scripts are templates - adjust for your specific setup
---
## Troubleshooting
**"Command not found" errors**:
- Ensure the script is executable: `chmod +x script_name.sh`
- Run with explicit bash: `bash script_name.sh`
**NVIDIA tools not found**:
- Verify NVIDIA Nsight Graphics is installed
- Add to PATH or use full path to executable
**Permission denied**:
- Scripts need execute permission: `chmod +x script_name.sh`
- May need to run some system info commands with appropriate permissions

# Test Scenarios Document
**Project**: Master's Thesis - Game Engine Performance Comparison
**Date**: January 16, 2026
**Author**: Krzysztof Rudnicki
---
## Overview
This document defines the test scenarios for comparing Unity and Unreal Engine performance using bullet-hell games and NVIDIA Nsight profiling.
---
## Test Hardware
*[Auto-generated by running: `./scripts/get_hardware_specs.sh`]*
- **CPU**: [Your CPU model]
- **GPU**: [Your GPU model]
- **RAM**: [Your RAM amount]
- **OS**: [Your OS version]
---
## Test Methodology
### Game: Bullet-Hell (Unity & Unreal implementations)
Both games implement identical gameplay mechanics:
- Player-controlled ship
- Enemy spawning system with escalating difficulty
- Bullet pattern generation
- Collision detection
- 90-second survival mode
### Performance Metrics to Capture
1. **Frame Time** (ms) - Time to render one frame
2. **FPS** (frames per second) - Derived from frame time
3. **GPU Utilization** (%) - Percentage of GPU capacity used
4. **Memory Usage** (MB) - VRAM and system RAM consumption
5. **Draw Calls** - Number of draw calls per frame

## Data Collection Procedure
### For Each Scenario:
1. **Pre-test Setup**:
- Close all background applications
- Disable system updates
- Set power mode to "High Performance"
- Wait 5 minutes for system stabilization
- Clear GPU/system caches
2. **Unity Testing**:
- Launch Unity bullet-hell game
- Navigate to scenario (Low/Medium/High)
- Start NVIDIA Nsight Graphics
- Attach Nsight to Unity process
- Play scenario for 30 seconds
- Capture frames at designated time points (5 captures)
- Save capture data with naming: `unity_[scenario]_capture_[N].nsight`
- Export metrics to CSV: `unity_[scenario]_metrics.csv`
3. **Unreal Testing**:
- Close Unity completely
- Wait 2 minutes for system cooldown
- Launch Unreal bullet-hell game
- Navigate to scenario (Low/Medium/High)
- Start NVIDIA Nsight Graphics
- Attach Nsight to Unreal process
- Play scenario for 30 seconds
- Capture frames at designated time points (5 captures)
- Save capture data with naming: `unreal_[scenario]_capture_[N].nsight`
- Export metrics to CSV: `unreal_[scenario]_metrics.csv`
4. **Post-test Data Organization**:
- Organize captures in folders: `data/nsight/unity/` and `data/nsight/unreal/`
- Compile metrics into master spreadsheet: `performance_comparison.xlsx`
- Take screenshots of key Nsight analysis views
- Document any anomalies or issues observed

## Expected Data Outputs
### Per Test Run (15 total: 3 scenarios × 5 captures):
- Nsight capture file (.nsight)
- Metrics CSV with frame time, FPS, GPU %, memory, draw calls, vertices
- Screenshot of Nsight GPU trace
- Screenshot of Nsight memory analysis
### Aggregate Data:
- Comparison table: Unity vs Unreal per scenario
- Performance graphs showing all metrics
- Statistical analysis (mean, std dev, min, max)
---
## Quality Assurance
### Validation Checks:
- [ ] All scenarios tested in both engines
- [ ] 5 captures per scenario completed
- [ ] All CSV metrics exported
- [ ] Screenshots saved for all captures
- [ ] Data organized in proper folder structure
- [ ] No system crashes or anomalies during testing
- [ ] Comparable conditions between Unity and Unreal runs
### Data Integrity:
- [ ] Frame times make sense (>0ms, <100ms typically)
- [ ] GPU utilization in valid range (0-100%)
- [ ] Memory values reasonable for game scope
- [ ] No obvious outliers without explanation
