How do you test your new scope?

When you get a new scope, do you mount it up, zero in and shoot for groups?

Do you shot a box to test the accuracy of adjustments?

If you buy a brand you've never owned, do you torture test it from freezer to boiling water?

I fall in the category of adjusting the focus, parallax, zero, and shoot for groups.
