Based on the needs of various customer types, we have designed multiple engagement models.
Assignment
A large number of game development studios across the globe are super small indies. They are usually with low or almost no budget for any QA activity. Such indies lack necessary hardware and infrastructure for QA and are without a specialised team.
At GameCloud we are always passionate about helping folks in gaming who are capable of becoming the next big entertainer and our strategic customer as a byproduct. Hence we have decided to introduce hourly services for indie studios with small assignments, wherein the QA engagement can be as short as five person-hours! It maybe anything around quick Exploratory Test run or execution of ready Test Plan. In fact, we maintain a separate team for handling such random and small tasks.
