Challenge
Piracy is a significant challenge in gaming industry, impacting revenue streams for developers worldwide. Our client developed an anti-piracy solution and needed to validate its compatibility and performance across a wide variety of devices and OS configurations. The challenge was to ensure flawless operation of the software on different Windows versions and platforms, including ensuring data protection in case of system failures.
Our team was responsible for extensive compatibility testing, using a broad range of devices to capture every possible performance variance. We needed to provide our client with assurance that their anti-piracy tool would be stable, responsive, and adaptable across all intended environments.
Solutions
Thorough documentation review. We began by meticulously analyzing the project documentation and gathering all necessary requirements to ensure a complete understanding of the testing scope.
Extensive device testing. We utilized between 150 and 180 devices running Windows 7, 8, 10, and Windows Server to conduct thorough compatibility tests. This broad range of hardware and software configurations allowed us to identify potential issues across different platforms.
Compatibility testing. As the primary focus, we performed extensive compatibility tests to verify the software’s performance across various hardware and OS combinations1.
Failover and recovery testing. To ensure data integrity, we conducted failover and recovery tests, simulating system failures to verify that no valuable information was lost during such events.
Detailed reporting. Our team created comprehensive test reports documenting any issues, inconsistencies, or performance anomalies encountered during testing.
Technologies
To ensure seamless compatibility and robust testing across diverse systems, we used a mix of debugging, data handling, and cross-platform testing tools. This setup allowed us to manage large-scale device testing and configuration adjustments efficiently.
