Game Testing White Paper— Addressing Real World QA Challenges

Ever been so engrossed while playing a game but then had it freeze during a crucial moment? The glitch can cause you to lose, force you to reset the game without saving, erase your saved data, and the overall deficiency in the quality causes you considerable dissatisfaction with the game.

In such a rapidly growing industry with high global demand, gaming companies have increasingly turned to “Quality Assurance” (QA) tools to discover and manage bugs that can make or break a game’s success.

The gaming experience should be smooth and painless. So should the testing process.

The challenges with game testing are not unique to its case, and its QA challenges are relevant for other kinds of industries. The Game Testing Evolves white paper discusses the issues of rapid testing environments and how a test management system can alleviate some of the major problems.
