Shakedown cruise
The Star Trek Expanded Universe Database is for fanon and related content. See Memory-Alpha.org for the canon Star Trek wiki.
A shakedown cruise tests a new or recently refit starship's systems, determining any faults or problems, as well as any performance issues.
In 2364, Ethan Arden from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers came aboard the USS McKinnon to assist her crew with their shakedown cruise after a refit. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Perfect Girl")
In 2371, on Stardate 48650.6, the USS Prospect-A responded to a distress call during its shakedown cruise. Damage to the ship during the scuffle was light, but Captain John Sill expressed he'd hoped those at the commissioning ceremony hadn't roughed up his new ship too much. (Star Trek: The Prospect Chronicles)
