Game accessibility QA: what I learned from the APX Practitioner course
APX, the player–game loop, and accessibility design patterns that changed how I approach accessibility testing in games.
Game QA Articles: practical guides from real testing projects
Method-first game QA guides: how I scope, test, capture evidence, and report issues across functional, exploratory, regression, and accessibility-focused passes. More topics coming, including VR comfort/accessibility, XR learning, controller parity, narrative/localisation QA, and early automation.
Featured
Selected articles showcasing core QA workflows and accessibility testing insights.
Exploratory testing on mobile: the method behind the chaos
Timeboxed exploratory sessions on Android: charters, controlled variation, interruptions and recovery, and the bugs scripted checks miss.
Regression testing: the risk-first checks that keep releases stable
Turning patch notes into a targeted retest plan: what I sanity-check first, and how I make clean pass or fail calls with evidence.
Methods
Repeatable QA workflows. Practical guides, not definition pages.
Functional testing: the boring basics that catch real bugs
A practical functional testing workflow for a timeboxed QA pass: what I check first, how I prioritise risk, and what evidence I capture.
Exploratory testing on mobile: the method behind the chaos
How I run timeboxed exploratory sessions on Android: charters, controlled variation, interruptions and recovery.
