Dive into the project context: How was it and How it is going? Trying to apply my Tester’s experience on own project What should be automated and Why I think so… Personal takeaways Q&A Let’s play a bit !

More than 10 years and all about Testing…

“Udemy” courses really helped to do the first steps with Photoshop and a drawing tablet.

 Unity Asset store  “Coursera” Game Development specialization 3 courses passed 1 course left And Capstone project – to get real experience with publishing own game.

Want to have better quality, less defects and some time to sleep at nights?

Invest your resources in a better architecture and coding skills. Sometime it is better to find someone who know how to create things – not only break things…

Manual testing Unit testing Integration testing Game balance testing

Since I was only one engineer that was quite easy – Do some changes then start a game and check it.

Hey, I’m a Game Object! Sprite Render Audio Source Movement Script Animator

I said No to Unit testing (not so many components, no animations, tiny team etc.)

I’ve done a few tests to check my vision of integration and balancing testing. I didn't get a lot of profit due to an initial project phase.

 Care about your motivation  Use techniques & tricks to bite the daily routine  Positive value loop! All things that inspire you and push you forward as a game developer will interfere with your current plans and goals…

 Unit tests  In case of many components with specific default values/settings attached to a game prefab  Depending from workflow “Artists – Level Design – Coding”  In case of a big team, when many people work with the same prefabs continuously  Integration tests  Verify components/prefab integration What I believe should be automated

Integration tests could be great helpers for game balancing  Components balancing (for example, characters parameters/abilities/gear etc.)  Game level balancing (We can automate strategies that user can use at a specific map and to see if some strategy can break our balance) What I believe should be automated
