  • Best Practices in Mobile Application Testing
    Innovate, Digitize, Transform BEST PRACTICES IN MOBILE APPLICATION TESTING The basic frame of software testers’ mind-set is attuned to check documentation, functionality, stability, API and performance and make sure that the software application is secure from all vulnerabilities and check for any other related things surrounding the software piece of code. However, mobile application testing adds a different dimension to the traditional software testing in the sense that the testers have to think about the mobile functions based on usage patterns, heterogeneous devices available in the market with different screen sizes and form factors adds to the complexity of the mobile testing. This whitepaper talks about the best practices that exist at ACL Digital pertaining to mobile application testing focusing on mobile apps for iPhone, Android, Windows Phone and mobile web apps. These practices have evolved over a period of time with our experience in working with global top enterprises and ISVs that improved the testing activities and provided a quick turnaround time reducing the cycle time. Functional Testing Every new feature developed for a mobile device needs to be thoroughly tested. Functional testing is an important aspect when it comes to mobile app testing. Based on the developed test cases, mobile testers should do manual and automated testing. At the beginning of the test phase, a tester must test the mobile app manually using “black box” strategy to see if the functionality provided matches to customer expectations and work as designed. Besides traditional software testing defined in text books, like clicking a button, submitting a form, playing around with different screen elements, mobile testers must perform more functional and device-specific testing.

  • Companion Gaming: Improving the Quality of Gaming
    COMPANION GAMING: IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF GAMING EXPERIENCES THROUGH INTERCONNECTED GAMEPLAY A Thesis by JACOB MACLIN ROSS Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Tim McLaughlin Co-Chair of Committee, Jinsil Hwaryoung Seo Committee Member, Dennie Smith Head of Department, Tim McLaughlin December 2013 Major Subject: Visualization Copyright 2013 Jacob Maclin Ross ABSTRACT In recent years, video game publishers and developers such as Ubisoft, Bioware, Microsoft, Capcom, Wideload Games, and NeatherRealm have all attempted to increase brand engagement by means of increased interconnectivity between games of the same franchise, a form of gameplay called companion gaming. In 2011 Chris Early, one of the pioneers of companion gaming, set forth seven principles defining the qualities that exemplify companion game design. This study offers a history of companion gaming, an explanation for how companion gaming improves the quality of the gaming experience, and a modification and extension of the aforementioned principles. Through the use of an analysis of pre-existing companion games, user studies of said companion games, and interviews with industry professionals who have experience working on companion games, a determination of best practices in developing connected gameplay experiences is defined in the form of the “Companion Gaming Design Principles.” Along with the unification of existing knowledge on companion games pertaining to different techniques for designing connectivity, companion game/base game platform combinations, and examples of what has come before, these principles will enlighten developers and publishers wishing to create companion gaming experiences in the future by highlighting the most important aspects of companion game design and how each can affect the user’s experience.
