This Quality Assurance (QA) Checklist provides a structured approach to ensuring the quality and reliability of a video game throughout its development lifecycle. Created by Arya Wirendra & Michael Sacco from OccaSoftware, this checklist covers various stages from pre-production to post-release support. This checklist will enable you to identify and address potential issues, bugs, and deviations effectively.
This QA checklist emphasizes thorough testing across various aspects of game development, from functionality and performance to usability and compliance. By following this structured approach, game dev teams can deliver a quality (read: not bugged) experience for players. In addition, stable delivery drives rapid delivery, so a healthy QA approach will facilitate continuous improvement throughout your game’s lifecycle.
