1 | Label | Value |
2 | QA Pass | Echoes of Delivery - Onboarding Failure QA Pass (Pre-Alpha) |
3 | Test Intent | Focused QA pass targeting the tutorial and onboarding experience following major system changes. The goal is to assess whether a new player can understand and initiate core gameplay without prior knowledge. |
4 | Build | Pre-Alpha v0.2.0 (Major Update) |
5 | Environment | PC (Windows 11) - 1080p - Keyboard/Mouse |
6 | Networks | Standard home broadband (Wi-Fi) |
7 | Tools | OBS - Google Sheets - Local Build |
8 | Test Focus | Exploratory QA of the onboarding experience, focusing on vehicle control understanding, input clarity, player guidance, and progression reliability within the tutorial. Testing evaluates whether core actions are clearly communicated, whether players can recover from mistakes, and whether the game provides sufficient feedback to support learning. |
9 | Headlines (Key Findings) | Onboarding does not reliably teach core driving interactions, preventing players from initiating or controlling movement Steering controls are not communicated, leading to loss of control and collisions Tutorial provides no guidance on how to begin driving, forcing trial-and-error Player can become stuck with no recovery option, blocking progression |
10 | What’s inside | 1-Liner Summary - Charters - Session Notes - Bug Log - Risk Matrix - STAR Summary - Player Experience Notes |
11 | Evidence | Gameplay clips captured per session and linked within Bug Log entries |
12 | Approach | Exploratory onboarding-focused QA conducted through a single short session using a fresh save. Testing was performed from the perspective of a new player without prior knowledge, focusing on how core vehicle interactions are introduced and whether the tutorial supports learning and recovery. Testing combined normal interaction with intentional uncertainty, including attempting inputs without guidance, exploring control assumptions, and observing system response when progression failed. |
13 | Evidence tip | All bugs include reproducible steps and supporting video clips where applicable. |
