Game BUG Case Study Presentation (Must See for R&D)
Click the button below to directly jump to the BUG case link for detailed viewing
Game Testing - Independent Game Package
Steam Game (Bronze) Test Plan
- Scope: Conduct a running test on the core mainstream process of the game, mainly to verify whether the basic functions can start, run, and end normally according to the pre-set functional logic, such as confirming whether the player can enter the initial interface of the game normally, complete the beginner guidance process, and implement the most basic game operations (such as character movement, basic attacks, and other simple interactive functions), but only for simple coherence verification, without delving into the details of each function and the performance in various scenarios, only to ensure that the basic framework process of the game can be smoothly completed.
- Price: $250 (to be paid upfront)
- Time: 8 hours
Steam Game (Silver) Test Plan
- Scope: Conduct smoke testing of game functions based on the bronze scheme. In addition to running through the core main process, basic functional logic testing will be carried out on the main functional modules (covering about 50-60% of the functional content) within the game. For example, for various systems in the game (such as task systems, mall systems, skill systems, etc.), check whether their basic functions can be used normally, whether there are obvious problems such as errors and lagging that affect the normal gaming experience, and also test the logical rationality of switching and interaction between the main functions. However, we will not focus on some complex boundary situations, abnormal situations, and deep level performance related issues for the time being.
- Price: $700 (to be paid upfront)
- Time: 30 hours
Steam Game (Gold) Test Plan
- Scope: Full chain deep testing of core functions: Focusing on the core functional modules within the game, covering approximately 70% -80% of the key functional modules in the game, verifying their completeness and accuracy in regular scenarios. It will also focus on repeatedly testing the performance of these core functions across different levels (such as from novice stage to near full level stage), common character combinations, and mainstream operation combinations, deeply exploring the logical rationality of the interaction between each core function and possible boundary situations, ensuring that the core functions can run stably and accurately in the vast majority of predictable normal use scenarios and common complex scenarios, in order to ensure that the basic experience of the game is not affected。Integration testing of important related functions: Conduct integration testing on other functional modules closely related to the core functions (involving approximately 20% -30% of important related functions), focusing on checking the accuracy of data transmission, logical coherence, and overall stability of collaborative work when they interact with the core functions.
- BUG retesting: For all bugs discovered during the testing process, the development team will conduct multiple regression tests after fixing them to ensure that each bug is completely resolved and that no new issues are introduced during the repair process, ensuring that the overall quality of the game reaches a high stability standard when it is launched.
- Price: $1500 (to be paid upfront)
- Time: 80 hours
Steam Game (Diamond) Test Plan
- Scope: Full functional testing
- In terms of functional logic, it comprehensively covers all functional modules in the game, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the functional logic, as well as detecting various complex scenes, boundary conditions, abnormal situations, etc., just like the "golden" solution, to ensure that all functions of the game are stable and run as expected.
- Art resource testing: Conduct a detailed inspection of the art resources included in the game, such as character models, scene graphics, prop appearances, UI interfaces, etc. Including the clarity of resources, whether the color expression is normal, whether there are problems such as model threading, texture errors, UI display abnormalities, etc. that affect the visual effect.
- Suggestion: Based on the above functional logic and testing of art resources, from the perspective of ordinary players and common optimization directions in the gaming industry, provide general improvement suggestions for the game, such as which functional operations can be more convenient, which art elements can be further optimized to enhance visual appeal, etc.

Before cooperation, please read the precautions carefully by Party A
1: All packages are a round of game content testing. According to the content testing of the game version submitted to us, the game testing content cannot be added to this collaboration without increasing the testing fee. This means that we will conduct a one-time test of the cooperative game testing content within the package for the provided game version. During this round of testing, we will try our best to use the testing methods and techniques we know to ensure that the version can be as close to online status as possible after our testing.
2: Due to the varying sizes of each independent game content and functional module, research and development students are requested to purchase a package that truly meets their game size testing needs based on their actual game size.
3: If the purchase time of the package is not sufficient to test all the game functions, QA will prioritize ensuring the smoothness of the entire game. For example, all functions can be clicked and used, and efforts will be made to discover obvious games that are fatal or affect the player's gaming experience, such as freezing. QA will not conduct detailed testing of secondary and tertiary functions, as well as the interaction logic with other functions.
4: QA will provide operation steps, bug screenshots, bug videos, bug log files, and game archives to help R&D colleagues locate bugs based on the difficulty of their occurrence.
5: During the QA testing process, if the R&D team modifies the content that has already been tested, QA will not conduct secondary testing. If the R&D team requests testing, additional fees will be charged.
6: During the testing process, if the R&D team adds new content/features/upgrades that are not within the scope of this package testing, additional fees will be charged.
7: Our studio does not guarantee that tested games will never have any bugs. If there are similar requirements in the corresponding signed contract, they will not take effect (April 2, 2024).
8: After the signing of the contract between Party A and Party B, if the first bug is generated during game testing, regardless of whether Party A does not want to continue cooperation for any reason, Party B will not refund the first payment, and Party B will continue to complete the game testing content corresponding to the first payment according to the contract. After the contract is signed, it shall be deemed that Party A is aware of and has agreed to this rule (May 17, 2024).
