Game Compliance Testing Services
At the end of day, video games are not only about becoming a critical hit in the market but to be financially successful as well. For a game to make money, it needs to conform to manufacturer’s guidelines. One of the primary requirements of manufacturer’s guidelines is the performance and stability of the game on the end user’s hardware.
In addition, no platform manufacturer would want their reputation to be tarnished or questioned due to the quality of products released by other developers on their platform. This is specifically why almost every platform manufacturer came up with a submission process regulated by required and recommended rules set by them. Every piece of program, software or video game to be released needs to adhere to these regulations.
And that, is Compliance Testing. Ensuring that the game adheres to the platform manufacturers’ rules and regulations.
