PureSoftware Enables a Leading Game Publisher to Migrate Slot Games at Speed Without Compromising Performance
Business Challenge
A leading digital game publisher partnered with PureSoftware to rapidly port its mobile-first slot games from a legacy platform to a high-performance framework. With tight timelines and daily build releases, the client needed PureSoftware’s QA expertise to ensure game stability, performance, and visual consistency, all without the benefit of traditional, exhaustive test cycles.
The client was facing various challenges, including:
- Multiple game builds delivered daily, with minimal time for regression
- Ensuring compatibility across a wide range of Android and iOS devices
- Detecting platform-specific memory and performance issues
- Balancing speed and depth in QA to meet aggressive go-to-market timelines
Business Analysis
PureSoftware quickly assessed the client’s QA landscape, identifying key risk areas tied to accelerated game builds, device fragmentation, and platform stability. By mapping game complexity against user impact and regression frequency, the team prioritized test coverage for high-visibility titles and devices. This strategic analysis enabled targeted QA execution, optimizing time, effort, and outcomes without compromising the quality of the player experience.
PureSoftware’s Solution
PureSoftware developed a focused and risk-based QA approach tailored for speed, stability, and device diversity.
Quality Assurance Planning & Prioritization
- Designed a risk-based testing strategy, prioritizing high-complexity, high-traffic titles
- Defined a device coverage plan spanning low to high-end mobile devices for Android and iOS
Functional & Visual Testing
- Conducted feature-by-feature regression to ensure parity with legacy builds
- Validated visual elements including animation fluidity, sound synchronization, and UI responsiveness
Memory Profiling & Stress Testing
- Used tools like Android Profiler and Xcode Instruments to monitor memory usage, detect leaks, and track GC events
- Performed stress tests simulating prolonged gameplay and rapid interactions to uncover crashes and latency issues
Device Compatibility Testing
- Ran test cycles across varied screen sizes, resolutions, and hardware configurations
- Verified handling of system interrupts (calls, messages, app minimization)
Performance Optimization Feedback
- Delivered real-time performance reports to the development team
- Worked closely with technical artists to fine-tune asset performance (e.g., textures and animations)
Impact Delivered
PureSoftware’s QA team ensured successful migration of all game titles within the defined timelines while maintaining performance and user experience.
- 100% core gameplay features validated across all titles
- Critical memory leaks and performance drops resolved pre-launch
- Stable frame rates and optimal performance achieved across test devices
- Zero crashes reported post-launch during the first week in production
