Multiplatform Automated Software Testing: Personal Experience of a Maintainer

Automated testing is an essential part of modern software development pipeline. The extent of functionality to be tested varies a lot from project to project, but at least some basic testing capabilities are built into many current development instruments, and automated testing practices are encouraged in most guidelines. The goal of this paper is to share some personal experience with automated smoke testing of a cross-platform game application. Unlike works dedicated to the general picture of testing tools and practices, this paper focuses on specific details and challenges associated with setting up and maintenance of day-to-day automated testing activities.
