Hi folks,

I am Quality Manager for 4 almost 5 years and I wanted to help indie game developers like me to improve their games and work.

For that reason I've created a Gig on Fiverr.com about alpha/beta testing your games.

I can spend an hour or more on testing your game and give you a full report of bugs I could find and everything I could experience, like and dislike.

I can test Web games (html5 and flash), Android, Iphone, Macos X, Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 games.

And to be sure you will appreciate my work, I offer a free beta test to the 3 first people!!!

See you there :

why only mobile games / apps? why not PC games?

[beufreecasse]

Hi,

Only because of hardware issues. With PC Games you always need a better hardware config.
Whatever, every request could be taken in consideration, just ask me before and I will tell you if it can be done.

Regards,

[Muz]

What kind of hardware do you test on? Android has a very large variety. S3/S4 Galaxy? HTC? Asus? Unbranded China phones? Tablets? Phablets? Android 1.6? Android 2.1, 2.3+? Android 3.x?

$5 is a damn good price, though.

[beufreecasse]

Well the real purpose is not to do performance and platform tests but to give possibility to all indie developers to take advantage of my experience as a tester.
When I talk about testing is about black box testing, finding bugs, inconsistencies, and share everything I could notice like what I felt, liked and disliked when playing.

I am an Indie Game Developer too and I was thinking about starting such a little business because I was always frustrated when people (friends, family, coworkers) said that my games were good and couldn't find constructive and concrete remarks.

However I have Archos Android tablet with 4.0, Nexus 7 (the New one, I'll get it next week ) with 4.3, Nexus S with 4.1 and Iphone 4S, so if you ask me I can focus my job testing on one of these devices.

Thank you so much for testing the game and your report, wow that is real QA stuff.

The previous company where I used to work was also using a similar system (only much more elaborate and spreadsheety) so since your report mostly follows the (in my experience standard) conventions I find it very easy to read!

I'm especially happy that you not only found the problems but also suggested solutions. This is of great help because even when I can't really implement it the way you suggested (technical reasons mostly) it's still a big help in finding a better way for whatever the problem is.

I'll definitely get another gig on Fiverr and recommend you around.

btw, I actually knew about some of the issues you mentioned, and guess what, some of your suggestions are already implemented in the game. Reading your report I understand you didn't see it but it already is in the game. So I guess it's progressing in the right direction.

[beufreecasse]

Thank you Hoope,
I hope more people will trust me and my work like you.
Let me know when you need additional tests.

[WildFactor]

[beufreecasse]

Thank you WildFactor, see you with your next version

I also used beufreecasse's service and I recommend it.
The report was insightful and to the point.

[beufreecasse]

Thank you! I am really happy that people enjoy my work

[PompiPompi]

By the way, yes you can use screenshots for your portfolio.

Thank you

Can we see a sample report? (you can hide sensitive data).
I'm wondering the level of depth you're going for.
I'm often interested in the services of 'new eyes'. Functionality testing wouldn't hurt, but I'm also very sensitive about First Time User Experience and someone with decent experience like yours could probably shed some light by listing elements of confusion, and whatnot.

[ஒழுக்கின்மை (Paul Eres)]

he said one hour of playing, so i assume it isn't a very great level of depth

[Orymus]

Well 1 hour is a lot fir the FTUE of many games provided its simple. I'm also interested in seeing the kind of feedback he gives (what he focuses on).

[beufreecasse]

Hi,
I test one hour, but it can be more for extra gigs.
Also I do not include the time I had to learn how to play the game.
About reports, I will ask to concerned people if it is possible and what they want to be hidden.
I come back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your interest.

Hi, I just sent a PM with a report example.

Thank you

[Orymus]

Replied to you.
Thanks for taking the time!

Sounds ideal for my RPG engine. What are the methods of payment?
