Whether you are a student seeking to enter the video game industry or a working professional aiming to refine your skills, this new edition gives you the basic skills of testing, demonstrates how game testing and testers fit into the game development process, and includes practical knowledge of tools, roles, responsibilities, and the metrics used to determine game quality and test progress. The reader is taken step-by-step through test design and other QA methods, using real game situations, and featuring interviews with veteran game developers. The book includes companion files for downloading with templates and tutorials for creating both combinatorial tables and test flow diagrams, which form the basis of a robust video game QA plan. Each chapter includes questions and exercises, making the book suitable for classroom use as well as a personal study or reference tool. Programmers make the video game work. They use their programming skills to turn the game design into something you can play on your computer or other device. Programmers may be involved in the porting of game code from one platform to another. Certain portions of the code should remain the same, whereas others must be changed to accommodate differences in the new platform. In all cases, the port must be freshly tested on the new platform to ensure that the player’s experience is the same as on the original platform.

This book describes a general hybrid metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization labeled Construct, Merge, Solve & Adapt (CMSA). The general idea of standard CMSA is the following one. At each iteration, a number of valid solutions to the tackled problem instance are generated in a probabilistic way. Hereby, each of these solutions is composed of a set of solution components. The components found in the generated solutions are then added to an initially empty sub-instance. Next, an exact solver is applied in order to compute the best solution of the sub-instance, which is then used to update the sub-instance provided as input for the next iteration. In this way, the power of exact solvers can be exploited for solving problem instances much too large for a standalone application of the solver. Important research lines on CMSA from recent years are covered in this book. After an introductory chapter about standard CMSA, subsequent chapters cover a self-adaptive CMSA variant as well as a variant equipped with a learning component for improving the quality of the generated solutions over time. Furthermore, on outlining the advantages of using set-covering-based integer linear programming models for sub-instance solving, the author shows how to apply CMSA to problems naturally modelled by non-binary integer linear programming models. First of all, note that all approaches described in this book were implemented in C++ and compiled with one of the latest GNU compilers. Moreover, as ILP solver we used CPLEX version 22.1, if not otherwise stated. The book will be valuable and is intended for researchers, professionals and graduate students working in a wide range of fields, such as combinatorial optimization, algorithmics, metaheuristics, mathematical modeling, evolutionary computing, operations research, Artificial Intelligence, or statistics.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has introduced a range of effective image processing tools that play a pivotal role in fortifying vision-based applications. The success of these applications hinges on the quality of input images, particularly those containing intricate textural details. The merit of an image is typically gauged through visible aspects such as illumination, color, and shapes, all of which can be adversely impacted by atmospheric factors like haze and uneven illumination. When haze particles are present, they impede the transmission of reflected light rays to the observer, resulting in an elevation of airlight and causing the image to exhibit a hazy appearance. Conversely, non-uniform illumination conditions contribute to a darkened depiction of the captured scene, leading to the obscuring of visible features. Consequently, image enhancement emerges as a crucial preliminary step, aiming to revive textural intricacies and refine image details. This enhancement process proves indispensable in bolstering the resilience of vision-based applications, ensuring their optimal performance even in challenging environmental circumstances. This book provides a detailed explanation of AI algorithms for image dehazing and non-uniform illumination enhancement. It outlines unsupervised and supervised methods with their advantages and limitations. The structure of this book will be helpful for a reader first to understand the unsupervised methods considering the scenario when it is impractical to have a large set of datasets for training an AI algorithm for image enhancement. Since there have been extensive advancements in Deep Learning methods and the availability of resources, this book provides a detailed insight into the run-time and accuracy adjustments of deep learning-based AI algorithms to learn the pattern better while performing enhancement.
