Does game testing involve science?
it involves ‘computer science’ When you test the game, you might find something that isn’t working the way it’s supposed to. In this case, you need to look through the program code to find what might be causing the error. To understand/write program code, you need to know what the ‘programming language’ is. There are a few different ones, such as C++, Java, and others. You also need to understand the functions of the different terms in these languages, and how they are interacting with the programming of the game. This is why computer programmers have four years of Uni before they get jobs. Now, if you mean ‘play testing’ that’s different. This is where people of all different ages are paid to actually play the game and rate it/judge it. They presumably are asked to fill in a survey about the game. Analyzing the data from the survey would require science (statistics as well as the ability to analyze categorical data).
