QA Services Detailed Description

Alpha/Beta testing
High quality testing allows best approach for any project even in a pre-alpha state. Upon request, we evaluate and test “Work-in-progress” versions and use specific developer tools like Debuggers and Compilers. The sooner the Q.A. phase begins, the lower the price for enhancing the product in that particular early stage. That translates in a better final product and a more satisfied client.

Functionality
QUANTIC LAB has implemented one of the industry’s most rigorous game-testing procedures. Based on submission/milestone documents received from the developer/producer we can verify all new features implemented in the game. In addition we analyze your project and create an internal test-case used for watching the project’s evolution. We offer regression testing for every new received version.

Stress test
QUANTIC LAB testers have a solid gaming background, with a wide experience in this field and are more than qualified to stress test any type of game in the minimum time possible, if needed. A standard stress test is executed on one or more stations over 24h of continued game play.

Game play, balancing, feedback
Our talented game testers are perfect to evaluate the playability of your game, to suggest changes and improvements that will optimize your commercial success. We will provide you with a comprehensive and detailed report, highlighting game play and balancing issues together with our suggestions that will guarantee your game to be a hit.

Multiplayer and network lab
The increasing demand for a competitive challenge with human opponents made our multiplayer testing team a very capable one. Our testers’ multiplayer experience started long time ago with the first LAN/TCP-IP games available. We constantly improve their skills through regular contests and competitions.

Hardware compatibility
