Game testing, a subset of game development, is a software testing process for quality control of video games. The primary function of game testing is the discovery and documentation of software defects (aka bugs).

In recent years the field of game testing has come under fire for being excessively strenuous and unrewarding, both financially and emotionally.

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or testing:
“Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
