German Games Days 2012 and "Made in Germany"

Monday, 07 May 2012 15:32

The 10th developer conference “Quo Vadis” takes place in a cosy atmosphere in the capital's historical “Café Moskau” with more than 1000 experts of the IT-industry. The exchange of trends and settings includes topics like “virtual goods” in free-to-play titles and social games. Additionally, development efforts of the increasingly popular mobile games and their future direction are shown. With “lots of fun for little money” the conference also asks for the future of the “casual” market and its prospects and perils. With a high spirit, an active exchange and many conversations before and after the events our host shows well prepared. At each corner within the many corridors and halls, food for body and mind can be found.
We, Games Quality, address the question about user reliability at this year’s conference. Which app receives affirmation, and why? Which game fails its effect and what is to be done? The new Age of social networks brings up several advantages like fast distribution of name and product, but at the same time negative publicity will be spread just as fast. Other nameable companies have similar experiences and will explain their measures and reactions on this.
The awards show also indicates where the journey leads by the nominated titles in the different categories. The prize is seen as long overdue acknowledgement for good work and an excellent result for Crytek and “Crisis 2” as “Best German Game”. With this even politics now has to admit that a “game” is not equal to “children entertainment” any more. And that’s alright!

Is my software project ruining me?

Wednesday, 15 February 2012 12:22

Or: What hinders my ideas growth? We have developed a common imagination at the beginning. A successful project completion was our goal. We wanted to prevent an economic nightmare by miscarriage. But product development failed. What didn’t we see coming?

With these amongst other questions IDC analysed over 200 German companies with more than 100 employees in regard to SQA integration.
„These consulters identified as sources for this awkward status quo insufficient collaboration between developers and testers, insufficient organisational implementation of testing procedures, a low level of automated tests or selection of inappropriate test methods.“ More…

But not just larger German companies are affected by these themes! In the home country of the word “quality” developing an efficient project planning contains resolution and knowhow. While first will be in the hands of the developer, will major parts considering QA be conducted by Games Quality – especially for starting and growing companies.

„A software project should pass ideally multiple test levels in high quality. […] Otherwise the risk of not identifying failures will rise, which will be difficult and costly to resolve afterwards.“
Our customers will profit of: Relief of its own company by using external infrastructure and manpower. On your way to raise software quality we offer practical results for their realizing measures. You will receive support in planning, and with extensive or sensitive projects even help on site. 

German Quality stays a standard. Not luxury!
