Assignment 77: Designing Tests For Computer Games In the test phase, you start with preparation. In the preparation stage, the leader gives their groups each a specific area of testing. for example, they would have some people checking for U.I. defects, some checking for A.I. defects, some checking map defects, etc. they must also document everything they find so that when it comes to fixing up the game. they can get it all sorted out without the hassle of having to remember which parts were broken and also it helps so they don't accidentally break something that wasn't broken in the first place. When developing a game, it must go through tests to ensure that it is ready and stable enough for release. These tests are taken at different times throughout developing the game so that it can be tested and each stage to ensure each part of the game is stable and does not have any game breaking glitches. PREPARATION: preparation is the first stage of testing as you have ...
Unit 20: Computer Game Platforms and Technologies Assignment 1 - Understanding game platforms types in my assignment i will be talking about each generations hardware differences and why each console is listed into its own generation.

PC's allow for better quality gaming A PC platform is a platform that can be modified, you can exchange its graphics cards, processors, RAM, etc. this means that the PC, if it has the optimum hardware requirements, can run any game at high frame rates with high graphic options. Also, PC is an open platform unlike consoles and arcade. this allows for the consumer to download more than just games. there is a variety of applications user can install such as games, communication apps and video software. The drawbacks of a PC are that it is not portable. A PC tower is not portable as it too heavy and power is needed for it run. Also the amount of accessories that would be needed would be too much to carry as you would need a monitor, keyboard, mouse and maybe speakers/headphones. Also the cost a good PC build can be quite expensiv...
