RelQ’s game testing division, which is known as GameQ, has successfully completed the testing of 500 different game titles at their Bangalore Game Testing Lab. GameQ’s Technical Requirement Testing Group (T.R.T.G) tested the games as per the manufacturer’s requirements.
Dr Prakash Mutalik, President & Co-Founder, RelQ says, “We are elated to have reached the coveted 500 mark sooner than expected. Over the years, we have validated and enabled the gaming for all major global developers to bring their products to market on time. We have a dedicated team of 200 professionals for game testing and will add more in the coming months. We have tested games from various genres like action, racing, simulation, sports, online games, and role-playing etc.; We test for functionality, game play, localization, compatibility and submission.”
GameQ is presently testing Test Drive Unlimited for Xbox 360, Call of Duty3 and Mortal Kombat Armageddon. RelQ works with major developers like Atari Interactive, Midway, Games, Playlogic, Activision and 10Tactle Studios.
Dominique Morel – CTO & Production Director of Playlogic International quoted, “RelQ is able to offer us an extremely competitive and good package. Our first trial with RelQ back at the end of 2005 was incredibly successful. RelQ has a highly reactive, fully dedicated, down to the last team member, incredibly available, and valuable feedback in all areas from basic functionality testing right through to compatibility and localization testing.”
RelQ has 200 game testers in Bangalore who test games from all genres and platforms. If you are planning to become a game tester, here is a piece of advice from Dr Prakash Mutalik, “A game tester needs to be literate, reliable, and determined. An inquisitive mind is always a plus. Being passionate about games is important, but it is also necessary that a potential tester understands that game testing is often nowhere near fun as it sounds.”
GameQ was recently approved as a game tester for the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii consoles. Looks like Indian gaming scene is getting more and more mature by the day, from game development to game testing, we have it all!
