Sounds as Intended: Quality Assurance in Game Audio
130Quality assurance (QA) is a vital part of the game development process: It is the last line of defense against releasing a game that doesn't deliver the experience its designers envisioned. A strong relationship between audio and QA can result in a much more polished listening experience for players. This 2023 Audio Summit talk provides background information and strategies to help audio professionals work effectively with their QA teams—including what QA is and isn't, the activities testers perform, the information needed for efficient and thorough testing, the types of support QA can provide, and how to build a solid connection between audio and QA to ensure games sound as intended.
