The Role of the Tester
•Find Important bugs fast•You will not find all the bugs•Beware of Testing “completely”•You don't assure quality by Testing
![Page 24: Localisation Testing Introducing YourLocalisation Testing ... · • Xbox Debug KitsXbox Debug Kits • Nintendo Debuggers & Emulators. B ildi th T ti lBuilding the Testing cycle](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052614/6071785edbb66408133a3ac8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Testing techniques & Bugs reporting•Your bug report is your representative
Testing techniques & Bugs reportingg p y p
•Never use the bug-tracking system to monitor performance•Report defects promptlyN th t b i b h l d b fil d•Never assume that an obvious bug has already been filed
•Keep clear the difference between severity and priority•Every bug deserves its own reportEvery bug deserves its own report•Never exaggerate your bugs•The summary line is the most important line in the bug•Don't insist that every bug be fixed. Pick your battlers.

M iManaging the GAME Testing Phase
•Sometimes you should refuse to test a build•There is no universal formula for knowing how much testing is
henough•Assign a bug hunter to the project
