Chapter 7. Test Phases

Videogames can range in size from tiny downloadable mobile phone games that take a few weeks to produce to epic, massively multiplayer online role-playing games developed over several years. No matter what size the game and how long the production schedule, the testing of the game should always follow the same basic structure:

  1. Pre-production

  2. Kickoff

  3. Alpha

  4. Beta

  5. Gold

  6. Release

  7. Post-release
