How do you test games effectively (automation vs playtesting)?
Answer
Game testing mixes automation and human play.
Automate:
- Build verification, smoke tests
- Deterministic logic tests
- Performance regressions
Use playtesting for:
- Fun factor and balance
- UX clarity
- Exploration of emergent behavior
Combine both with telemetry to understand real player behavior.
