Different from what happens for most types of software systems, testing video games has
largely remained a manual activity performed by human testers. This is mostly due to the …

Computer games are very challenging to handle for traditional automated testing algorithms.
In this paper we will look at intelligent agents as a solution. Agents are suitable for testing …

To enable automated software testing, the ability to automatically navigate to a state of
interest and to explore all, or at least sufficient number of, instances of such a state is …

Modern computer games typically have a huge interaction spaces and non-deterministic
environments. Automation in testing can provide a vital boost in development and it further …

The complexity of computer games is ever increasing. In this setup, guiding an automated
test algorithm to find a solution to solve a testing task in a game's huge interaction space is …

Modern video games are extremely complex software systems and, as such, they might
suffer from several types of post-release issues. A particularly insidious issue is constituted …

With the growth of the digital games market, the occurrence of bugs in games has a
significant impact and generates dissatisfaction among users. Therefore, conducting tests is …

With the growth of the digital games market, the occurrence of bugs in games has a great
impact and generates dissatisfaction among users. Therefore, conducting tests is necessary …

The video game industry has experienced a continuous growth in the last decades. In such
a competitive market, it is fundamental to ensure a great gaming experience to the player …

In the current project we present our study on automated video game testing. For our
research, we apply our approach of automated agent-based testing, on NethackClone, a 2D …
