Hi Nuwan,

Objective of doing a long running test after the release is, in the release
time we won't be able to execute a long running test for couple of weeks.
Because sometime we have to stop the test to change the packs or integrate
with other product with setup or to enable some configs to test a feature,
etc. Most of the time we are getting some cloud issue as well(resource
issues and set of nodes were getting slow). So most of time we were able to
run the long running test for day or 2 days.

Therefor we thought of doing a proper long running test against the GA pack
for 3 weeks. Last year we did long running test after the release for
couple of releases and then we shared our findings(memory growth,
exceptions, warnings, etc) with dev teams. So if we can identify a bug at
this stage then we can prepare a fix.

Regards,
Aparna.
