Quality Assurance
Maintenance to make sure the work is up to a good standard.
The maintenance of a desired level of quality in a service or product, especially by means of attention to every stage of the process of delivery or production.
Quality assurance is good for gaming because it tests the games and makes sure there is no problems/bugs in the game and to make sure the game is running well, it also makes sure it is distributed to a good standard also without problems occurring.
Understand quality assurance in the games industry
-Putting together a hand picked team with specific web roles
-Having a iterative approach
-Regular face to face meetings
-Bug reports from professional game testers
-Demo release
Applying quality assurance in testing a game
Using things like, pre-alpha, alpha and beta are very good ways of testing and reviewing a game before it has came out to test it for bugs and problems.
-First of all, test all major/likely events first
-Grade the severity of an error
-Have an organised approach to fixing errors
Quality Assurance
Different Sounds in game
-Gun sound
-Zombie sounds
-Horse sounds
-Footsteps
-Water splashes
-Wind
-Grenade
-Door
This is a screenshot of the sound on my game, throughout making the music and inserting the sound into my game, I came across a lot of problems. The music at the start wasn't being recognized by the software which I was making my game on. I had to keep changing certain parts of the sound and its settings so it could be recognized.

Evaluation
To evaluate from testing different bugs in my game, I have found many bugs and problems with my game, throughout the process of taking the bugs out, I learnt alot about different ways on how to remove the bugs and also how easily bugs can occur. I am very happy with my progress of understanding coding as before this unit I was not confident with my ability to code. However my game is not yet still complete and still needs a few different features to help me accomplish the finished product.
