Hi all. Hope you are doing well. As we all know that the Game Testing or Game QA are vital part of any product or any release. Okay hereby we will discuss with the basic principle and procedures involved while testing for a Game QA Testing.
Actually Game can be tested at various different level at each development process. In Software Testing process all information about the software or product. But whereas Gameplay testing is not like that, as there are many steps involved while Game QA Services. As because game testing is the Black Box Testing method.
And normally the game developers will not test their product themselves except they will test some of the test will occur while developing and not by fully. So they will hand it over to third party Game QA testers or other vendors for fine quality.
It could be performed under 6 step orders. As they are,
Plan and Design the Test - This is much important to initiate the testing earlier i the test document. But as in the every stage and every prototype of the game testers need to be revisit with every stage.
Preparing the Test Cases - All the testers can update their code, test and every test cases with one another. During this cycle Game QA team should mark their bug with specified areas and send to development team to make verify and correct.
Performing the Test - After receiving Bug report from Quality Assurance team they re executing for the test to validate that bug is valid or not.
Reporting the Results - At this stage of process the entire results were reported. The important portion could be documentation of bugs and areas where identified.
Repairing the bug : The testing team will clearly explain about the bug and tends to fix with the issues. And sometimes they supposed to execute with the direct testing and for clear explanation of the products.
And again Repeat from step 1 and Retest - After all of the above process, new build is created for second cycle. While testing at this particular stage, it could be like the repetitive process as because of there may be existing of own or new bugs and also failed test cases.
Likewise as we told earlier Game QA will be different process and it could perform with the prescribed manner as above.
Game Development Process can be executed in a similar ways like,
- Pre Production
- Kickoff
- Alpha
- Beta
- Gold
- Release
- Post Release
These are the repetitive process for any game development process. And Game QA Services will be the prominent role of any product or game release. Important factor is even after the release the testing is essential to make sure the proper functionalities.
Conclusion
Hope you enjoyed with this above article. And it could benefit more for every release of the game for better user experience and tends to increase in the usage. As there are many Game QA Companies avail for better delivery of any product.
Thanks and Regards,
