Chapter 5. Bug Squashing – Testing and Debugging

I'm still trying to catch my breath from the last chapter! Boy, did we ever do a lot of work! Now it's time to slow it down a little bit. After all that coding, we are going to discuss testing and debugging. Debugging is a critical step in the entire development process, as the appearance of bugs can ruin the experience of your app. You spend countless hours on it, and, if there are bugs, people will think it's unprofessional. That's certainly not ideal. Let's see what we will discuss in this chapter:

Testing our code on the simulator
Testing our project on various devices
Setting up TestFlight for beta testers
Squishing those bugs

We will slow things down for this chapter and will resume the coding soon! So, let's sit back and treat this chapter as a breather. But don't think it will be a cake walk! No no! While this isn't exactly as action-packed as our last chapter, as I mentioned, this...

DeQuadros

Miguel DeQuadros is a game developer and the founder of the independent development studio, Wurd Industries, based in Ontario, Canada. He has been developing iPhone games since the release of the App Store back at the exciting release of iOS 2.0. Since then, he has released 10 games and 1 entertainment app world-wide on the App Store with more to come from Wurd Industries. He was originally interested in 3D animation and graphical design, which he focused on mainly in 2004. But, he then got the game development bug and has been developing iPhone apps since 2008, which also allows him to use his creativity and knowledge of 3D animation for cut scenes and videos within his apps, and he is loving every minute of it. Starting from his first project, Toy Tennis, back in 2008, down to his current project, SpaceRoads, for PC, Mac, Wii U, and other platforms, he continues to develop high-quality apps and games alike. Moving away from simple game development tools, he now primarily uses Unity3D, 3D Studio Max, and the Unreal Engine for his current project in an aim to create very high-quality games. His games can be seen on the App Store on iOS, Steam Greenlight, Amazon, and IndieCity, and of course on his website, www.wurdindustries.com. His games have been reviewed on YouTube by Action Soup Studios, and you can also find his interviews there.
