Game Testing Checklists
Each major publisher/developer has their own set of check points that must be followed in order for the game to be published and later released.
I get questions many times from people who want to test asking if they can get their hands on the checklists that game developers use. The answer to that is absolutely not. Once you view a checklist, you are required to sign an NDA also known as a non disclosure agreement. This binds you from disclosing any data related to the checklist or anything else you work on for that company.
So there are different types of checklists that are used. I will cover the 3 major consoles and their checklists.
Sony
They use a TRC, which stands for Technical Requirements Checklist. Any game that is being published for any Sony console would need to pass this checklist.
Microsoft
They use TCR, which stands for Technical Certification Requirements. Again any game being published for XBox or XBox 360 would need to pass this requirement list.
Nintendo
They use a lotcheck, or one of the other checklists I’ve listed above. Any game published for Nintendo consoles would need to pass these checks.
No matter what the checklist name, all it is a list of things that a person must be able to do to prove the game can move on to the next part of the distribution process.
Each company has their own set of standards. As a tester you need to adhere to those checklists.
The only way to view one of these checklists is to become employed by one of these companies. Once you’ve seen one checklist, you will have great luck in getting into other testing positions that require you to use one.
I can help you decode all the weird game testing code words being used today. GameTestingSecrets.com is a site I created to help my fellow gamers break the code of silence and get the testing job of your dreams. So don’t delay, sign up today!

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a
comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thanks a lot!

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing
the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?

Flat warts are also removable with over the counter products.
If this is something that you deal with, it is important to understand
where they come from, what causes them, and how they
work. Warts in clusters is really unsightly, embarrassing and could be really painful.
