Mobile game testing: Case study of a puzzle game genre

The advancement of mobile technologies allows developers to build more sophisticated application specifically mobile game. As the result, mobile game has more complex gameplays and incorporates more complex resources, such as 2D images, 3D objects, artificial intelligence, sounds, and many more. Developers are spoilt by the vast number of available game engines that enable rapid mobile game development. However, the mobile game source codes that orchestrate all the interconnected resources are also getting large in the size and eventually leading to difficulties in tracing bugs in the codes. Meanwhile, software testing is still a growing area that, despite vary proposed techniques to identify errors in source code have been developed, yet it has to consider more studies in mobile game category. This research aims to conduct an appropriate testing on a mobile game application. We choose to test an awards-winning mobile game using an available testing tool, named Unity Test Tool. The tool is explored during this study and then applied to test the game that of puzzle genre. At the end of the study, the research finds that the game is faults/bugs-free.
