Tavoitteet

The purpose of this course:
Have you ever played a shooter that crashes on intense play session? Have you found glitches that are just annoying (and sometimes quite funny!), or have you ever played a game that was clearly unfinished? It quite likely that the testers have not done their job well enough, or that the studio has had some pressure to publish a game with too little testing.
It is important for every game developer to have the basic understanding of game testing, and game testing can often serve as a way to enter into the business of game development!

Course competences:
Game production competence
Software engineering competence

The learning objectives of the course:
After completing this course you will be able to design and implement game production specific testing and quality assurance overall. You can divide the game into different levels and you can design the testing to meet these levels. You can utilize different types of testing techniques to design test cases. You can utilize your possible customers for testing purposes and use proper tools to collect data about the level of quality.

Sisältö

In this course you will learn about the basic principles of game testing and how to manage it. In addition, we learn different game testing techniques and how to apply them in game productions. We go through the quality aspects in games and how they affect the production.

Opetusmenetelmät

The course will be conducted as contact studying at Jamk's campuses.
There will be lectures, in which the students will learn the basic theory of the course's subjects, and practical assignments which allow the students to try out the things they have learned in practice.

The course will end in a final assignment, where the students will conduct game testing/QA of their choice to an actual game. More details of this will be announced during the implementation.

Harjoittelu- ja työelämäyhteistyö

The course might have visiting lecturers and possibly an excursion (virtual or physical).
