Video Game QA & Testing
It’s almost impossible to hide from software bugs, oversights, or imperfections during game development. The inherent complexity of games, technical innovation, and creativity means that sooner or later, bugs will surface. At TransPerfect Gaming, identifying and fixing issues early is paramount to keeping your players happy and engaged. Our passionate QA specialists are dedicated to ensuring that the games we test are as bug-free as possible. From functional and localization QA to certification and more, our QA team works hard to ensure that your game meets your internal and industry quality standards.
Our decades of experience have allowed us to establish an approach that aligns and scales with a wide range of personnel and internal operational structures. We have 14 testing locations that are capable of providing automated testing to improve speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
Playtesting
Functionality QA testing is designed to remove stress from game developers by putting game titles into the hands of seasoned, professional game testers. We’ll provide detailed bug reports and valuable feedback to achieve seamless and bug-free gameplay while incorporating non-functional testing for a top-tier gaming experience.
We’ve seen and done it all, from small indie games to huge AAA titles. Our teams of testers are passionate about video games. They’ll meticulously uncover issues and imperfections within your game, since we know just where to look for those small bugs and glitches.
On-Site
Our QA testers seamlessly integrate into your studio and organization to directly support your code and content teams and act as area specialists to detect bugs early in the development process. On-site testing provides your team members with immediate feedback, collaboration, and real-time problem solving.
Certification
Releasing on a console for the first time and not sure how to tackle it? We've got you covered! We have a 99% first-pass rate on all leading consoles over the last five years.
We partner with every major hardware manufacturer, so our specialist compliance team will guide you through the requirements to help your product launch successfully. We’ll review the game's design and technical specifications and put them to the test against the platform holder’s checklists.
Play Testing
Our global playtesting network is ready to provide feedback that enhances your game’s playability, fun factor, and audience appeal. We’ll work with you to define test objectives and target audiences that reflect the game’s intended player base. Testers will evaluate gameplay, entertainment value, balance, story flow, graphics, audio, and UI/UX—providing detailed feedback on overall user experience. Following the analysis, we’ll deliver comprehensive, actionable reports for your development and design teams. We can also organize focus groups, bringing players together to test the game and share feedback in real time.
Localization QA (LQA)
A qualified team of native-speaking linguistic testers who are passionate for gaming will examine the linguistic elements of the game, including translated text, VO audio, artistic elements, contextual inconsistencies, and more. The team will ensure that the localized game is consistent with the original version and is free of issues that may arise due to incorrect or inappropriate translations or cultural nuances that may be lost or misunderstood.
At the end of the process, your global player base can enjoy a game that is context-appropriate for their locale and adheres to local customs, laws, and market regulations.
Accessibility
To make sure that video games are inclusive, enjoyable, and playable for all, we analyze game intricacies to identify barriers for gamers with different abilities. By following comprehensive tests selected to address different abilities, our team of seasoned accessibility experts examine every aspect of accessibility features, such as in-game color palettes and contrasts, legibility of fonts and subtitle sizes, synchronization of closed captions, audio volumes and balance, input and button remapping, intuitive UI navigation and on-screen narrator, and more.
Our goal is to ensure that your game is accessible for all people with disabilities and to improve the overall game usability. Learn more about accessibility.
