I remember watching a documentary on the development of Jedi: Fallen Order and seeing a part where they are focusing on a stable build. They apparently had 1,000+ bugs they needed squashed to accomplish this. As a gamer, this seems like an unrealistic amount. Is it? How is it possible they were able to not only introduce, but also find that many bugs? Even for a studio that’s a subsidiary of Electronic Arts, I can’t imagine the Quality Assurance team finding even over 100. Sorry for the longer question, but this always blew my mind. Thanks!
Ask a Game Dev
JUNE 28, 2024
How do they find that many bugs? Imagine 50 testers each find only five bugs a day from a full eight hours of testing. That's logging a combined 250 bugs daily. In a week, you've got 1,250 bugs. After a month, that's 5,000 bugs. A year would be 60,000 bugs. I'm currently working on bug number 474,991.
