Hey an empty forum - can't have that....
Ok, as it's about testing - so here's my top three tips on testing.
1) Let's do it again baby!
Test the same problem three or more times to see if it's consistant and not a random event.
Try several minor variations to see if you can alter or remove the problem.
2) You're an idiot!
Do it wrong, play the idiot. You would be amazed at how often doing it right works flawless, but doing it wrong highlights a mass of bugs.
(You can never make anything idiot proof. Whatever you do they'll just breed a smarter idiot.)
3) I am a God!
No point restarting a mision again and again just to see how the SAM's are working for example. Make yourself invulnerable and fly into and around the kill zone to see whats happening. (Why do you think those "God" cheats were put in so many games in the first place...)
Right, that's this nice new forum messed up then...:beer: :alcohol: :beer:
