Let's have a Look on the Working of Game Testers in a Game Testing Company!

Role of a Game Tester

The role of a game tester is crucial for the success of the Game Testing Company. A tester is offered with a complete version of a game in order to find glitches in it. It is the responsibility of a tester to check every nook and corner of the game for finding out the bugs. The uncovered errors during the testing phase are noted out. These errors may be bugs, logic errors or level bugs, art glitches.

The ranking of the bugs are done according to their estimated severity:

·       ‘A’ Bugs are critical bugs that cause many issues, such as game crashes that prevent it from being shipped.

·       ‘B’ Bugs require the necessary attention and are equally dangerous as an A Bug.

Procedure to be followed by Game Testers

Game Testers follow the below procedure while performing mobile game testing:

1.    Design a Test Plan

2.    Write Test Cases

3.  Run the Test

4.  Report the Bugs

Why Mobile Application Testing Needs to be Performed in Different Networks Environment?

There are many mobile network simulator tools available in the market which allow you to test your application in different network conditions. But to see what the users experience in reality we need to test how our application behaves in a perfect network or a slow network.

Causes of Network Variability

1. Signal Loss: There are various dead spots on a network that leads to a partial or total loss of network signal. This also results in loss of client server communication.

2. Data loss over a Network: When the data packets sent by client/server over a network fail to reach the intended destination because of network congestion then data loss occurs.

3. Network delay and jitter: The time taken by each packet from source to the intended destination is defined as network delay.

Use Network Emulators to test real network conditions

1. Network emulators is one of the best mobile application testing solution that would assess the impact of network variation on a mobile application’s functionality in a controlled lab environment.

2. Network emulators are perfect solutions for creating different types of mixed or complex networks.

3. There is no need of cable, aerial masks, mobile devices and corporate networks for achieving the best coverage.

Test Application Programming Interface of APIs using Postman

API is an Application Programming Interface. It is used to establish communication and data exchange between two software systems. A software system implementing an API consists of various functions and sub-routines which can be executed by another software system.

In API Testing, you use software to send calls to the API, get output, and note down the system's response.

API Architecture: API calls collection includes mainly two things:

1. HTTP headers: HTTP headers are always dependent on your application.

2. HTTP Request: There are mainly four types of requests.

What is Postman?

Postman is used to fire requests to an API. It is available as add-in on Chrome and also available for Mac application.  It is very fast in response and also light weight which puts no impact on browser performance...
