As much as I have been susceptible to overthinking bicycle mechanics methodology and application of The Knowledge over the years, all I've ever done with crank bolts is recheck tension, and retighten if necessary, after the first ride and thereafter from time-to-time.

From time-to-time I've found things needed minor retightening after first ride.

I've never given any thought to the topography or intensity of a test ride, other than to throw in a few sub-max sprints.
