[Redazione](https://blog.unguess.io/author/redazione) Oct 1, 2024 --- The gaming industry is undergoing a significant evolution with the introduction of **phygital components** that merge physical and digital elements. In this context, **Xplored** developed an innovative hybrid game, **"The Bad Karmas and the Curse of the Zodiac,"** using the **Teburu** platform. This system integrates **physical game pieces**, apps, and **digital controllers**, creating a new way to play. However, to ensure a **smooth and bug-free experience**, a rigorous testing process was essential. That’s where **UNGUESS** comes in. ### The Teburu project and the need for thorough testing Xplored aimed to revolutionize the world of board games by creating **Teburu**, a platform that seamlessly combines physical and digital components. This solution brought a completely new gaming experience to life, but to ensure maximum enjoyment, it was essential to identify and resolve any technical issues. **UNGUESS** collaborated with Xplored to conduct thorough testing of the platform, engaging a team of testers who explored various gameplay conditions, [hunting for bugs](https://blog.unguess.io/bug-hunting-exploratory-testing?hsLang=en) that could compromise the smoothness of the gameplay. ### Testing methodology adopted To ensure a smooth and problem-free gaming experience, we adopted a thorough and structured testing methodology. The process included: **![Screenshot 2024-10-01 alle 12.43.39](https://blog.unguess.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.43.39.png?width=51&height=62&name=Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.43.39.png)** [**Functional testing**](https://unguess.io/services/functional-testing-bug-hunting/): verifying that all features of the **Teburu** platform operated correctly and met the expected specifications. **![Screenshot 2024-10-01 alle 12.43.43](https://blog.unguess.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.43.43.png?width=52&height=47&name=Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.43.43.png)** **Remote multiplayer testing**: analyzing the interaction between various users to verify device compatibility and ensure a smooth connection between participants. **![Screenshot 2024-10-01 alle 12.43.53](https://blog.unguess.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.43.53.png?width=51&height=51&name=Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.43.53.png)Detailed test book:** the team followed a manual that provided clear guidance for all testing activities, ensuring a structured and consistent process. **![Screenshot 2024-10-01 alle 12.43.58](https://blog.unguess.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.43.58.png?width=55&height=47&name=Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.43.58.png)Regression testing and bug fix verification:** identified bugs were fixed and re-tested to ensure they didn’t cause regressions or new issues. ![Screenshot 2024-10-01 alle 12.44.03](https://blog.unguess.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.44.03.png?width=64&height=45&name=Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2012.44.03.png)**Optimization of the gaming experience**: during the tests, startup and interaction issues emerged, which were promptly resolved.   ###               ![Screenshot 2024-10-01 alle 14.34.57](https://blog.unguess.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2014.34.57.png?width=234&height=411&name=Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2014.34.57.png)![Screenshot 2024-10-01 alle 14.35.06](https://blog.unguess.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2014.35.06.png?width=280&height=397&name=Screenshot%202024-10-01%20alle%2014.35.06.png) ### Results achieved The tests conducted ensured a bug-free and defect-free gaming experience: - **60% of the unique bugs** identified were high-priority malfunctions, successfully resolved. - **72% of the bugs** identified were critical for the proper functioning of the game. - The **re-testing process** ensured that the fixes were implemented without causing new issues. - The Teburu platform demonstrated great adaptability and responsiveness in the phygital context, ensuring a smooth gaming experience.                   ### UNGUESS's contribution to Teburu's success Thanks to the [crowdtesting approach](https://blog.unguess.io/crowdtesting-what-it-is-how-it-works?hsLang=en), UNGUESS provided a fast and efficient service, engaging real people with a wide range of devices and digital interfaces.
