Comprehensive Test Case Development

To capture all critical game functionalities, we developed over 1500 regression test cases focusing on aspects like gameplay stability, user interactions, and UI responsiveness. Each case was structured with detailed steps and expected outcomes, allowing us to systematically test core features. By organizing cases based on priority, we ensured that game stability was upheld, enabling a consistent player experience.

Community-Driven Bug Reproduction

Monitoring community feedback on Discord allowed us to identify bugs based on real user scenarios. We engaged with players to understand unique in-game challenges, which were then reproduced in our controlled environment. This approach validated issues and fostered trust by demonstrating a commitment to quality improvements based on player experiences.

End-to-End Regression Testing

End-to-end regression testing ensured seamless gameplay by covering the entire user journey, from game launch to advanced interactions. We developed test cases to validate core functions, including resource management, army deployment, and economic simulation. Using tools like Tricentis, we efficiently identified and addressed regressions, ensuring smooth updates and quick resolution of community-reported issues before wider release.

Release Support and Real-Time Bug Tracking

During each release cycle, our team provided real-time support by reproducing and logging over 100 bugs in JIRA, allowing us to prioritize fixes before release. By addressing major bugs first, we minimized disruptions to the player base. Our parallel test execution strategy also optimized release timelines, ensuring timely deployment with minimal impact on gameplay quality.
