Overview

Performance Lab is a reproducible performance decision system for Unity. It captures real player evidence, records metric capability and environment identity, aggregates repetitions, manages reviewed baselines, evaluates budgets, analyzes BuildReports, and exports canonical CI/report evidence without requiring an account or telemetry.

Minimum supported Unity Editor: 6000.0.79f1. Earlier 6000.0.0f1 receipts are retained as historical evidence only.

Supported workflows

• Scenario and Run Center — create run profiles and execute local desktop runs from one surface.
• Immutable desktop repetitions — build once, inventory the exact player bytes, and verify those bytes before every repetition.
• External-device capture kits — build Android, iOS, or WebGL once, collect a bounded queue of portable .kplab bundles, then import the exact expected inventory.
• Metrics — CPU, GC, GPU, memory, draw calls, batches, loading transitions, custom ProfilerMarker timings, registered extension metric providers, and explicit capability states including NotApplicable.
• Statistics — minimum, median, p90, p95, p99, maximum, raw/included/excluded counts, repetition distributions, and explicit outlier policy.
• Baselines and decisions — reviewed immutable baseline revisions, history, rollback, environment matching, absolute/relative budgets, A/B, and contiguous A-B-B-A.
• BuildReport analysis — build duration, output size, files, warnings/errors, options, environment fingerprint, baseline comparison, budgets, and evidence export.
• Automation — the same run service is available through KiwiPerformanceBatch.Execute for unattended CI.
• Recovery — interruption preserves authenticated partial evidence; recovery retries as a new reviewed run instead of silently resuming a benchmark mid-state.

Evidence rule

A missing, unsupported, unavailable, permission-denied, unknown, invalid, environment-mismatched, incomplete, or checksum-invalid requirement is not a pass. A NotApplicable metric is retained as explicit sample-free evidence, is not compared or budgeted as a supported measurement, and never becomes a pass. Treat only complete supported evidence from the intended player, build type, target, and reviewed environment as release evidence.

Included Core component

Performance Lab includes the exact net.kiwistudios.releasecore 26.8.5 package as a required bundled internal component. Release Core is not a separately published product. Its shared package identity allows compatible Kiwi products to use one verified Core installation.
