Game Testing
Game UIs are notoriously undertested. Most teams apply automated testing to gameplay logic and leave menus, HUDs, settings screens, and inventory UIs to manual QA. This is understandable — game UI testing is genuinely harder than web UI testing — but it leaves a class of bugs that consistently escape to players:
Unity
Unity Addressables is one of those systems that works fine in the editor and breaks in surprising ways in production builds.
Unity
Running Unity tests locally is fine. Running them automatically on every pull request is how you actually catch regressions before they ship.
Game Testing
Game save systems are among the most critical — and most under-tested — parts of any game. A bug that corrupts save data doesn't just cause a crash.
Game Testing
Game AI bugs are among the most entertaining to watch and the most embarrassing to ship.
Testing
Game testing is often manual — play through levels, look for bugs. But most game logic is testable code: inventory systems, physics interactions, AI decisions, save/load functionality. The Unity Test Framework brings standard unit and integration testing to game development. This guide covers how to write meaningful automated tests for
Unity
Unity's Test Framework goes far beyond simple [Test] attributes on edit-mode assertions.
Game Development
Godot uses GUT (third-party, community-maintained), while Unity ships with its own Test Framework (built-in, supported by Unity Technologies). Both enable unit and integration testing of game code, but they differ in setup complexity, CI/CD integration, test isolation, and framework maturity. This comparison helps you understand the
Unity
XR (Extended Reality) applications in Unity present unique testing challenges. You can't run a headset in CI. Controller input is hardware-dependent.
Game Testing
Game testing in Unity isn't just clicking through levels — it's a discipline with proper unit tests, integration tests, and automated CI pipelines.
