START WITH A TASK

What needs to get done here?

  1. 01Author repeatable tests
  2. 02Inspect gameplay state
  3. 03Run regression checks in CI

RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW

Your AI-made game has a bug. How do you fix it without knowing code?

Three playable debugging exercises show how to describe a fault, limit an AI repair, check the result and recover a working version. Includes broken and fixed examples, six screenshots, templates and source.

CHOOSE AND VERIFY

How to choose a tool for this task

Begin with a repeatable failure or a gameplay rule that must stay true. Check whether the tool can observe game state, drive the required inputs and report a useful failure. Automated coverage should complement human playtesting. Keep performance measurements tied to a named build, device and test scenario.

  1. 01Can the same scenario be replayed against the next build?
  2. 02Do failures include enough logs, state or images to reproduce the problem?
  3. 03Are gameplay correctness, performance and player experience evaluated separately?
