PC & Console Certification Testing

Experienced on established consoles and always prepared for the next generation platforms, we have extensive knowledge of the submission criteria required for a first pass submission. Thanks to our continuous internal development and long-term relationships with the console manufacturers, we have an up-to-date understanding of the current standards in place, as well as an impressive inventory of debug and retail kits. Whether you need a comprehensive check of all hardware manufacturer technical requirements on your title or language specific testing for hardware manufacturer terminology compliance, our accredited test team will ensure that you are one step ahead all the way to a first time pass.

The master checklist is a group of documents that testers use to keep track of every test for the final Gold Master Candidate, along with the specific certification requirements tested (Xbox® TCR, PlayStation® TRC, Nintendo LOT Checks). When the AQ project lead signs off on a project, the master checklist must be completed, ensuring that every area of the product functions properly and according to the rules and recommendations provided by the manufacturer.
