Our Cases
Development teams face a huge challenge to meet not only internal quality standards but also platform-specific requirements. Each platform (like Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo) has its own specific requests. Compliance Testing ensures games meet these standards without any rework and recertification.

About compliance testing
While working on one of the games, our QA team was tasked with checking the product for compliance with platform requirements.
Among other things, our QA team quickly discovered a barely noticeable bug that was critical for successfully passing certification and would have prevented the game from passing on the first attempt.
Making changes to the illustration at this stage was significantly less expensive than re-certifying the entire product.

Detected bug
Process
The developers had added an illustration of a gamepad to the settings menu, which had been slightly altered artistically. However, even such subtle changes were a violation of the platform's requirements, something our QA team knew from their experience of working on other projects.
Each platform manufacturer has its own standards, alongside the development team’s internal quality requirements. To meet these, platform owners conduct compliance testing.
If the game fails such a check, it is returned for revision until all identified issues are addressed. Afterward, the game must undergo certification again, with a recheck of all requirements, regardless of whether they were previously passed or not.

About testing and IP requirements
During the initial checks, the QA team identified that the use of the Eiffel Tower’s image violated copyright laws related to its illumination. The QA team filed a bug report on the issue and informed the project producer.
After discussion, the development team, in collaboration with legal advisors, found a way to keep the Eiffel Tower in the background without infringing on copyright.
Addressing this issue during the development stage, when the first checks were conducted on the build, was far less costly than correcting it at a later stage, when the violation might have been flagged by the company’s legal team.

Process
During QA testing, we discovered a copyright issue with a background image: an illuminated Eiffel Tower. While the developers intended to use the image for visual enhancement, it violated copyright regulations regarding the use of the tower's lighting scheme.
During the creation of a computer game, the development team often encounters situations where an image, concept, or audio may infringe on copyright. Even though the team responsible for the legal aspects of the process monitors potential issues from the pre-production stage, sometimes something can still slip through and end up in the game.
About testing of achievements
The QA team reported this issue to the developers in a bug report and emphasized its importance during the daily project meeting.
The trophy was then moved from the "Platinum" category to the correct category.

Process
During Compliance Testing for a game on the Sony platform, we discovered a critical error. An achievement intended for a mini-game was incorrectly classified as a Platinum achievement.
We have also encountered situations where a game could fail certification due to incorrectly added achievements or trophies.

F.A.Q.
When should we bring your QA team into the project?
The earlier, the better.
We can integrate from pre-production to help prevent critical issues before they become expensive bugs. But we’re also flexible — we’ll join at any stage and adapt quickly to your pipeline.
Why outsource QA instead of handling it in-house?
Outsourcing QA saves you time, reduces costs, and unlocks deep expertise.
You gain access to a team that combines developer-level production knowledge with a player’s eye for detail — without the overhead of hiring, onboarding, or managing additional staff. Our external view often reveals gameplay or UX issues internal teams miss due to tunnel vision.

Do you test mobile games? What types of projects do you take on?
Yes — we work across all platforms and project sizes.
From indie to AAA titles, we tailor our QA setup to your specific needs. Our tech stack, tools, and team structure scale with your game.
Can you handle genre-specific testing (e.g. strategy, roguelikes, narrative games)?
Absolutely.
We understand the nuances of different genres — where fun breaks, where exploits hide, and what “feels wrong” even when it technically works. We treat each game as a unique player experience, not just a checklist of mechanics.
Will we have a consistent QA team, or does the team change often?
You’ll have a stable, dedicated QA crew.
We know that rotating testers causes onboarding overhead and missed bugs. That’s why we keep your team consistent and make sure replacements (if any) are prepared by those who know the build.
Will your QA team actually care about our game?
Yes — and it shows.
We test like it’s our own game. You’ll get clear, actionable bug reports, proactive communication, and testers who care about your game’s player experience. We believe QA is not a service — it’s a craft.
Can you help us avoid launch delays and surprise bugs?
That’s exactly our job.
Because we integrate early and think like both devs and gamers, we catch the bugs others miss — and flag systems that are risky before they break. That means fewer last-minute fixes and more confident releases.
Need something specific?
We’re used to custom workflows. Let’s talk — we’ll tailor the QA process to your production style.
