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.
QA testing can play a crucial role in catching potential copyright issues early, preventing costly rework and legal complications later in development. Even with thorough legal checking during pre-production, unexpected copyright violations can arise.
This solution ensured compliance with Sony’s requirements and prevented potential delays in the game’s certification process.
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.

Detected bug
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.
