Shifting Games QA Left: Building Better Production Pipelines
An interview with Rob Sandberg by the folks at modl.ai about shifting QA left, integrating automated testing, avoiding costly hotfixes and QA having a seat at the leadership table.
I recently sat down with my friends at modl.ai to chat about how AI is transforming game quality assurance. Check out the full interview here.
As someone deeply committed to delivering player value swiftly and streamlining delivery cycles in live game services, I’ve always looked for ways to enhance the efficiency of our production processes. A recent discussion with my friends at modl.ai offered some compelling insights into how shifting QA earlier in the development process can significantly impact the quality and speed of game development.
This approach isn’t just about catching bugs earlier; it’s about integrating quality assurance to align with rapid, continuous delivery—the key to delivering the features and content that players love. We can accelerate development cycles by embedding QA from the start, mitigating costly hotfixes, and improving overall agility.
