In this letter, we propose blackbox and scenario-based testing of multiplayer online games as well as simple load testing. Game testing is done from outside the source code, and the access to the source code is not required to testers because the game logic is described with a game description language and virtual game map. Instead of using a subset of the main game client for the test client, only game packet protocols and the sequence of packets are analyzed for new game testing. In addition, complex and various scenarios can be tested through combining defined actions. Scenario-based testing helps testers mimic real testing environments instead of doing simple load testing and improves the productivity of game testing.

Computer are being used in an increasingly wide variety of application areas, and their correct operation is often critical for business success and humasn safety. Developing high quality software products is therefore of prime important. The recent game software become popular, so we are interest in the game software testing. According to the kinds of game software, because it has the different characters, so game software testing is very difficult. According to enviroment change, Recently, online game is popular, so online game trade in the world market. In the company, developers try to develop the reliable game software. But we can experience many fault of game software in spite of the beta testing. Especially, Testing is very difficult on the game software because of various environment and functionality. We tried the survey for game user. In this paper, we study the quality testing metric of game software fault basis on the ISO/IEC 9126. Also, we consist of the check list of game software a point of view user. It apply for the reliability testing metrics of ISO/IEC 9126.

Online game has been made of total products which user was given the experimental properties of a variety such as fun and the total of hardware and software products. Through this processes, The company earned a profitable benefits, in addition to the user was given satisfactory service. In this sense the parts of the game production process, the service earlier in the game testing a variety of ways needs to the user through the game as a condition for providing the content can be. Contact a professional game testing job is done systematically through the game's completion of a game developed by companies to see that service to complement previous significant. In this study, search for independent testing cases and the systematical cases as experts needs a range of the testing services.

When an online game is considered as a commercial product, now an online game should arouse the consumer's purchase desires as a service item. Most of all, the contents of an online game are important, but, on the other hand, beyond the online game services, it is also important to improve the accessibility of online games, which are developed through the specific testing processes. That is, it is necessary to develop comprehensive and systematic game testing processes considering even the aspects of the usability of the online games on the basis of the qualitative and measureable game tests. Therefore, this study is intended to suggest the proper scopes of the online game testing processes in a view that an online game is a commercial product.

Game software is tremendous popularity in inside and outside of the country, so it rises market value. Therefore, it is important to study for the evaluation models of game software. In a general way, I think that ISO/IEC 9126 is the international standard of the software quality testing. Especially, game software quality has been more important on users and developers, so we need the compliance testing model of the game software. In this paper, we evaluate the game software quality objectively and quantitatively, we propose the software quality metrics of testing. Also, we propose the evaluation model of game software on the basis of international standard ISO/IEC 9126, six quality characteristic point of view. That is functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, portability, and maintainability.

현재 청강 게임 졸업작품 프로젝트에서 QA팀의 테스트 활동은 명세를 기반으로 진행된다. 하지만 대학의 게임 개발 프로젝트 특성상 체계적인 문서와 같은 테스트 베이시스를 확보하기 어렵다. 이렇게 부족한 명세를 기반으로한 테스트는 테스트할 게임의 전체를 커버하기 어렵다. 따라서 이를 보완하기 위해 리스크 기반의 탐색적 테스팅 접근법을 활용하여 조금 더 효율적인 테스트 전략 및 프로세스를 제시하고자 한다.

대학의 게임개발 프로젝트에서 QA를 수행하기 위해 필요한 테스트 베이시스를 확보하기 쉽지 않다는 문제가 있다. 이렇게 테스트 베이시스가 부족한 경우 경험기반 테스트 기법이 대안이 될 수 있다. 탐색적 테스팅은 경험기반 테스트 기법 중에서도 체계화가 되어 있는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 탐색적 테스팅을 활용할 경우에 필요한 탐색적 테스팅 수행 절차와 보고서 양식을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 QA 프로세스와 양식은 실제 게임개발 프로젝트에서 유용하게 적용할 수 있다.

Game Industry sustained growth for some time, but the lifespan of a game is shortening. Various efforts to improve the quality of services for the game players which play a role in extending the lifespan of games. When a game is serviced, the server of the game starts to store log informations, and the stored data became important measures to predict game user's activities. As the game's data gathers, it becomes highly useful big data. By analyzing the data of the game stored in this way, a game service issue analysis procedure is proposed to improve the quality of the game service and to proceed with a better service, and based on the analysis in this way, it was applied to the balance test process and verified through expert to the balance test process. If the log analysis process is applied through this paper, it will be a basic data that can improve the quality of game services.

In this paper, we present an efficient method for simulating massively virtual clients in an online game environment. Massively multi-player online games and other multi-user based networked applications are becoming more attractive to the gamer players. Such kind of technology has long been researched in the area called Networked Virtual Environments. In the game development process, a set of beta tests is used to ensure the stability of online game servers. A set of testing processes consumesa lot of development resources such as cost, time, and etc. The purpose of VENUS system is to provide an automated beta test environment to the game developers to efficiently test the online games to reduce development resources.

Depending on the size and complexity of the game, interest in game quality control is increasing. The quality of the game can be evaluated through fun and stability tests, and the player's satisfaction varies greatly accordingly. For the quality control of the game, Fun QA is in charge of testing to increase the fun and give satisfaction to the players. In this study, we first looked at software quality improvement techniques and game QA work. And in order to improve game quality, we analyzed Fun QA, which is relatively unstructured compared to Technical QA, which is mainly responsible for stability testing. Based on this, the Fun QA process was proposed and an example of Fun QA design was presented using real games. It is expected that this study will be one of the pillars of the game quality management area pursuing quality improvement by guaranteeing fun. Furthermore, it is expected to help QA workers expand their work area.
