Compatibility Testing

Each feature works in isolation, but features rarely work alone. Inventory needs to work with crafting. Progression unlocks need to work with level design. LQA ensures all the interconnected pieces function together seamlessly.

• Windows, macOS, Linux, and SteamOS coverage
• Low-end, mid-range, and high-end PC configurations
• CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, driver, laptop, and desktop checks
• Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, and custom launcher flows
• Keyboard and mouse, controller, audio device, and peripheral behavior
• Resolution, aspect ratio, scaling, fullscreen, borderless, and multi-monitor checks

Performance & Load Testing

A functional game can still lose players to FPS drops, slow loading, or crashes under pressure. LQA checks the performance conditions that affect stability, responsiveness, and release confidence.

• FPS stability, frame drops, stutter, freezing, and visual hitching
• Loading time, scene transitions, shader compilation, and asset streaming
• CPU, GPU, RAM, VRAM, storage, and thermal-related performance checks
• Long-session stability, memory leaks, crashes, and performance degradation
• Heavy gameplay scenarios with many enemies, effects, objects, or players
• Performance across graphics presets, resolutions, and hardware tiers

Networking Testing

Multiplayer and online PC games depend on stable sessions, matchmaking, backend communication, and recovery flows. LQA tests the network scenarios that can interrupt live gameplay.

• Login, account connection, session handling, and server connection behavior
• Matchmaking, lobby, party, invite, ready-check, and reconnect flows
• Co-op, PvP, cross-play, cross-progression, and online gameplay states when applicable
• Latency, packet loss, weak network, disconnect, timeout, and retry scenarios
• Leaderboards, chat, friends, player profiles, and social features
• Backend response, error messaging, data sync, and interrupted-session recovery

Security & Compliance Testing

PC game releases often involve account systems, online access, platform rules, build security, and player data. LQA checks the security and compliance scenarios that matter most for your release.

• Login, authentication, permissions, and access-control behavior
• Build access, test accounts, restricted environments, and NDA-sensitive workflows
• Payment, inventory, entitlement, DLC, and in-game purchase flows when applicable
• Anti-cheat, exploit-prone flows, abuse cases, and abnormal player behavior checks
• Platform, launcher, age-rating, content guideline, and submission-readiness checks when required
• Error handling, data consistency, audit trail, and sensitive defect reporting

User Acceptance Testing

A PC game isn't release-ready just because it passes individual tests, since it also needs to meet the scope and criteria your team agreed on upfront.

• Release-candidate validation against agreed scope, requirements, and priorities
• Acceptance criteria and sign-off checklist verification
• Confirmation that reported defects are resolved, deferred, or accepted
• Stakeholder walkthroughs, demos, and build reviews to support sign-off
• Final regression pass across core flows before go-live
• Release-readiness summary with a go/no-go recommendation
