ISTQB CT-GaMe

وصف

Game testing (or "video game" or "computer game" testing focuses on measuring a human-made product's capacity to meet its intended purpose. 

The ISTQB® Game Testing certification complements the core foundation level as a specialist module. It provides a theoretical background for testers who are validating the software of video games.
