From Gamasutra: Game Developers Conference 2014 organizers have revealed a few new QA Summit talks for its March conference, including sessions explaining how to launch your own QA department, how to test mobile apps the Google way, and much more.
These talks are part of the QA Summit, one of eight that will take place Monday, March 17 and Tuesday, March 18 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA during the first two days of GDC 2014.
As part of the Summit, 5th Planet Games CTO David Lease is giving an interesting talk about how studios can benefit by bringing their fans deeper into the quality assurance process. In his session, titled QA via the Masses: Tapping into Player Enthusiasm to Improve QA, Lease plans to highlight the positive side of exposing the design, development and QA testing of your game to your greatest fans. The idea is that more transparency will make your community feel more involved with your project while lightening your workload, and Lease plans to use examples from 5th Planet Games’ portfolio to show how you can pull it off.
