Anyone who worked on Minecraft available? Would seem that game would have lots of interesting test issues and TCR waivers.
I wholeheartedly concur with Bob… any chance we might hear the challenges of testing a GARGANTUAN game like Minecraft? The head boggles to think how you might cover the permutations and combinations of everything that can be created or done! What sort of automation could be used to test this beast? Thanks guys! Keep up the great shows!
@Bob: We are trying to get Joe Dunavant back on for this week’s show to talk about Minecraft. Anything specific that you’d like us to ask him?
@Serg: Same as above: Anything specific that you’d like us to ask?
Just interested in any challenges/funny stories that might be attached to such a massively diverse game, and how it was tested… How was it done? Any good tools or processes used to try and cover the huge scope of combinations/permutations…
