Default Dummy load testing of amps query

What is a reasonable testing regime for each of the following cases, in
terms of driving with continuous sine wave, what frequency and what
percentage of power in the load to represent in service use ie rather than
continuous sine, for

Bass amps
200 Watt rating, %, f
400W,%,f
600W, %,f

Guitar Amps
200W rating,%,f
400W,%,f
600W,%,f

And overall duration of such testing ?

I use 100Hz for bass and 400 Hz for guitar amps and 1 hour duration but I'm
concerned about what sine to in-use equivalent percentage I'm using
a/ to accurately represent periodic in-use signal rather than the more
stressing continuous signal .
b/ under or overstretching the amp
