This wiki page details a list of all things that should be tested prior to a major release.

Language

In the rest of this document, some shorthand words will be used to keep things simplified

1. "Runs" Means that the executable can be launched, and a level can be loaded without any overt graphical(in the case of non-dedicated) or control errors, nor is there an obvious wall of errors in the console.

Executables

1. Confirm 32bit exe runs on Windows
2. Confirm 64bit exe runs on Windows
3. Confirm 32bit exe runs on Linux
4. Confirm 64bit exe runs on Linux

Subtasks

1. Confirm exe runs as clients (display windows)
2. Confirm exe runs with the -dedicated -level "somelevelname.mis" (do not display windows)
3. Confirm exe variant runs as fully dedicated (use the TORQUE_DEDICATED compiler flag to filter even attempting to operate as a client)
4. Confirm C++ unit tests pass (by running 'Torque 3D.exe runTests.cs')

Rendering API

1. Confirm that DirectX11 runs on Windows
2. Confirm that DirectX9 runs on Windows
3. Confirm that OpenGL runs on Windows
4. Confirm that OpenGL runs on Linux

Subtasks

1. Confirm standard materials function (diffuse, normal, specular)
2. Confirm multiple layer materials function (blended via alpha is the standard implementation)
3. Confirm animated Materials function (UV panning, scaling, rotating)
4. Confirm translucent options function (changes rendering composition and order)
5. Confirm Water blocks, water planes, and rivers function (reflectivity, depth, et al)
6. Confirm Scattersky, and Skyboxes function (the former with a timeofday)
7. Confirm multiple layer terrains function. (Operates off of up to 3 layers rendered, then a re-draw, so ensure a minimum of 5 layers checked for proper blending across all batches.)
8. Confirm Vector Lighting (sun) Point lights, and Spotlights function. (Colorization, attenuation, et al)

Dedicated Servers

1. Confirm that a dedicated server can run on Linux, with a Windows client connected
2. Confirm that a dedicated server can run on Linux, with a Linux client connected
3. Confirm that a dedicated server can run on Windows, with a Windows client connected
4. Confirm that a dedicated server can run on Windows, with a Linux client connected
5. In all above test cases, ensure that the dedicated server can change levels without issues.

Server/Client

1. Confirm that a hosted server can ping out to a master server, and be seen by a client of the same build.
2. Use the netgraph [n] in combination with latency simulation to ensure that basic networking works between a hosted client and server.
3. Confirm that the server does not cause lag if its window loses focus on the host machine

Physics APIs

Bullet

1. Confirm that Bullet compiles and that the API initializes when the game runs.
2. Confirm that the player object can move on surfaces, float in water, and collide with standard geometry.
3. Confirm that Physics shapes can be spawned, and collide with other objects
4. Confirm that Physics shapes can be moved via applyImpulse
5. Confirm that vehicles can be spawned, and collide with other objects

PhysX

1. Confirm that PhysX compiles and that the API initializes when the game runs.

3. Confirm that Physics shapes can be spawned, and collide with other objects
4. Confirm that Physics shapes can be moved via applyImpulse
5. Confirm that vehicles can be spawned, and collide with other objects
