Game testing and optimization

Game testing and optimization

Even the most beautiful and exciting game loses its value if it has bugs, fps subsidence and unstable work. Technical quality - This is the basis of a comfortable gameplay and successful release.

Full testing and competent optimization can eliminate errors, increase performance and adapt the game to various PC configurations. The result is a stable, responsive and pleasant game for the user, ready to enter the market.

Checking all systems: functional testing

At the first stage, Functional testing covering all key mechanics and scripts. Testers analyze:

  • Work of logic and game scenarios
  • Behavior of characters, interfaces and AI
  • The correctness of quests, inventory, transitions
  • Possible malfunctions: departures, hanging, errors of action

Both manual methods (Manual QA) and automated testing are used - especially effective on large and complex projects.

Cross platform and stability

The game should work equally well on a variety of systems. Testing is carried out on:

  • Weak and powerful PC
  • Video cards of different manufacturers (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel)
  • Different screen resolutions and proportions
  • Operating systems: Windows 10/11, if necessary - Linux, MacOS

Additionally, work with various input devices is checked: mouse, keyboard, gamepad, etc.

Optimization of performance

To ensure smooth and stable work, Technical audit of performance , including:

  • Identification of processor overloads, video cards, RAM
  • Optimization of textures, models, animations and audio
  • Elimination of memory leaks
  • LOD setting (details)
  • Introduction of asynchronous loading and caching

The result is an increase in FPS, a decrease in the load time and a decrease in the overall load on the system without losing visual quality.

Correction of bugs and elimination of shortcomings

Mistakes can manifest itself in a variety of aspects of the game. In the testing process, they are detected and eliminated:

  • Graphic artifacts, "chipped" animations
  • Problems with transitions, interfaces
  • Sound failures, incorrect synchronization
  • Conservation and download errors

All information is recorded in a bug-tracker and accompanied by reports indicating the status and decisions made.

User experience (UX)

The player's comfort is one of the most important factors. UX assessment includes:

  • Convenience of management and intelligence of the interface
  • Navigation intuitiveness
  • System reactions to user actions
  • Audio and visual feedback

Based on the results, you can offer improvements that will make the game more understandable and enjoyable to use.

Final stage: preparation for release

At the final stage, a comprehensive check of the project’s readiness for publication is carried out:

  • Stress tests (for multiplayer, complex scenes and events)
  • Long test sessions for evaluating stability
  • Checking working builds on target devices
  • Preparation of technical documentation and instructions for publication

What do you get as a result

After passing all stages of testing and optimization, game:

  • Works stably and without failures
  • Supports different devices and permits
  • Not annoying bugs and lags
  • Ready for a full release without the risk of failure

Testing and optimization - This is not just the final stage of development. This is a contribution to the reliability, reputation and success of the project. When everything works as planned, the player plunges into the game and receives exactly the experience for which he launches it again and again.
