 ## Procedures
 
-This section will contain specific test procedures.
+This section will contain specific test procedures. Presently, procedures
+are placeholders describing general patterns for setting up and conducting
+testing.
+
+### User Testing Setup
+
+These procedures describes a general pattern for setting up for user
+testing. Specific deployments should customize this pattern with
+relevant data and any additional steps necessary.
+
+Property       | Value
+---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------
+Test ID        | MCT-TEST-SETUP0 - User Testing Setup
+Relevant reqs. | TBD
+Prerequisites  | Build of relevant components
+Test input     | Exemplary database; exemplary telemetry data set
+Instructions   | See below
+Expectation    | Able to load application in a web browser (Google Chrome)
+Eval. criteria | Visual inspection
+
+Instructions:
+
+1. Start telemetry server.
+2. Start ElasticSearch.
+3. Restore database snapshot to ElasticSearch.
+4. Start telemetry playback.
+5. Start HTTP server for client sources.
+
+### User Test Procedures
+
+Specific user test cases have not yet been authored. In their absence,
+user testing is conducted by:
+
+* Reviewing the text of issues from the issue tracker to understand the
+  desired behavior, and exercising this behavior in the running application.
+  (For instance, by following steps to reproduce from the original issue.)
+  * Issues which appear to be resolved should be marked as such with comments
+    on the original issue (e.g. "verified during user testing MM/DD/YYYY".)
+  * Issues which appear not to have been resolved should be reopened with an
+    explanation of what unexpected behavior has been observed.
+  * In cases where an issue appears resolved as-worded but other related
+    undesirable behavior is observed during testing, a new issue should be
+    opened, and linked to from a comment in the original issues.
+* General usage of new features and/or existing features which have undergone
+  recent changes. Defects or problems with usability should be documented
+  by filing issues in the issue tracker.
+* Open-ended testing to discover defects, identify usability issues, and
+  generate feature requests.
+
+### Long-Duration Testing
+
+The purpose of long-duration testing is to identify performance issues
+and/or other defects which are sensitive to the amount of time the
+application is kept running. (Memory leaks, for instance.)
+
+Property       | Value
+---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------
+Test ID        | MCT-TEST-LDT0 - Long-duration Testing
+Relevant reqs. | TBD
+Prerequisites  | MCT-TEST-SETUP0
+Test input     | (As for test setup.)
+Instructions   | See "Instructions" below *
+Expectation    | See "Expectations" below †
+Eval. criteria | Visual inspection
+
+* Instructions:
+
+1. Start `top` or a similar tool to measure CPU usage and memory utilization.
+2. Open several user-created displays (as many as would be realistically
+   opened during actual usage in a stressing case) in some combination of
+   separate tabs and windows (approximately as many tabs-per-window as
+   total windows.)
+3. Ensure that playback data is set to run continuously for at least 24 hours
+   (e.g. on a loop.)
+4. Record CPU usage and memory utilization.
+5. In at least one tab, try some general user interface gestures and make
+   notes about the subjective experience of using the application. (Particularly,
+   the degree of responsiveness.)
+6. Leave client displays open for 24 hours.
+7. Record CPU usage and memory utilization again.
+8. Make additional notes about the subjective experience of using the
+   application (again, particularly responsiveness.)
+9. Check logs for any unexpected warnings or errors.
+
+&daggers; Expectations:
+
+* At the end of the test, CPU usage and memory usage should both be similar
+  to their levels at the start of the test.
+* At the end of the test, subjective usage of the application should not
+  be observably different from the way it was at the start of the test.
+  (In particular, responsiveness should not decrease.)
+* Logs should not contain any unexpected warnings or errors ("expected"
+  warnings or errors are those that have been documented and prioritized
+  as known issues, or those that are explained by transient conditions
+  external to the software, such as network outages.)
