The most common categories of game bugs
The main objective of game testing is to detect bugs in order to reduce their number before releasing the product. Bugs are unexpected results of code operation in the tested game version. Bugs may vary from defects that prevent players from moving through the plot to less significant bugs such as text placement out of the field.
They are categorized by severity to facilitate the developers’ work. Ranging bug types in games helps them understand which bags to fix in the first place.
