The Fundamentals of VR Testing

• If history is any guide, we can be sure that
  developments in technology can alter the world
  entirely within a few years.
• Looking at how smartphones and the internet have
  revolutionized connectivity, it is highly likely
  that virtual and augmented reality will lead us
  into a new paradigm quite soon.
• With thousands of new projects launching every
  year and hundreds of companies getting into the
  VR space, how do you ensure that your VR products
  and solutions stand the test of time?
• VR testing is the answer. Its the first and,
  often, the most critical step after project
  development to assess the effectiveness of your
  VR applications.

In this blog, we cover some VR testing basics
that you should know.

• 1. Tools Used in VR Tests
• Accurately testing the VR environments involves
  using special professional tools that allow
  in-depth testing for inter-app compatibility and
  user interface. These tools are selected keeping
  several factors in mind.
• Some of the most popular VR testing tools are
• Unity Testing Tool Used to test specific
  objects in the simulated reality, this tool
  fosters the visual confirmation of building
  unity.
• 360o Eye Tracker The eye tracker software
  system is used for underlining the eye movement
  of the VR device user. Besides this, it also
  checks the simulation from the users viewpoint
  and locates errors in the proper rendering of the
  simulated environment.

• Steam VR Performance It is an advanced tool
  that audits the inter-platform compatibility,
  making surethe VR fits well with computers.
• Besides these, tools like RenderDoc, LogCat, and
  GPUsystrace are also used from time to time.
  Using a combination of these tools, leading VR
  auditing companies can perform detailed test runs
  on your applications and log errors preventing
  your systems from performing their best.
• 2. The Need for VR Testing 
• VA and AR systems have complex testing needs that
  are radically different from other software
  applications.
• Timely Testing
• Unlike many regular software and apps, you cannot
  test virtual reality environments until they are
  near-developed. This can be challenging because
  any errors that might have crept in can only be
  discovered at the later stages.

• 360-degree testing
• While other software can generally be tested with
  a single testing tool, VR systems usually need
  multiple ones for rigorous testing. This is
  because the environment is based on user
  perception it may react differently to
  different users and platforms.
• The audit team needs to run tests on several
  operating systems and devices using multiple
  specialized tools, ensuring everything works
  flawlessly, everywhere!
• Time limitations
• There have to be time restrictions in place for
  manual testing that prevent adverse physiological
  effects like motion sickness from showing up.
  Generally, QA teams follow the recommended time
  restriction of 30 minutes per testing session to
  avoid these issues.

• 3. The Testing Framework 
• Testing and auditing VR applications can be an
  arduous task. But when its done the right way,
  it can save you millions in revenue otherwise
  wasted in coding, debugging, and software
  patching.
• When bottlenecks are discovered well within
  time, the developers can create timely remedies
  that prevent the issue from becoming too
  complicated.
• Using a step-by-step procedure, leading companies
  like Calidad can ace the testing.
• This step also includes underlining what areas
  should be tested automatically and which ones
  manually.

7

• Audit approaches
• After defining individual parameter objectives,
  the methods of testing are chosen.
• This is contingent upon the tester and is prone
  to manual errors, so selecting the right
  combination of testing approach and test tool is
  vital.
• For instance, the Trial-and-Error approach relies
  on having multiple test runs with several users
  to find how the VR systems respond to different
  users over time.
• On the other hand, session recording is based on
  reviewing the recorded screens to find glitches
  or bugs after the session.
• Automation testing is another form of audit
  approach that, as the name suggests, includes
  deploying tools to do the job.

• 4. What to Consider During VR Tests
• Testing the 2-dimensional variant of the VR
  application can often result in a faster and
  easier process.
• Manual testing through external triggers is a
  sure shot way to find bugs advising the tester
  to move between specific points and following a
  particular set of instructions while
  simultaneously evaluating system performance to
  get the job done.
• Utilizing telemetry data is helpful for error
  analysis and saves time.

9

• Setting Goals
• Setting objectives should be the foremost
  testing requirement..
• Updates and changes can be perceived with the
  code, asset build, and CI system runs.
• When these changes are discussed ahead of time
  with the testing team, everyone can stay on the
  same page and avoid test blockage.
• Many test mechanisms and their corresponding
  scripts are used commonly. This is why they are
  readily available to be deployed in most
  scenarios.
• Utilizing them and setting automation testing
  would save effort that can rather be used in
  other areas.

• Final Thoughts 
• The quality assurance professionals judge what
  tools, approaches, and parameters best suit your
  VR audit needs.
• This is why hiring the right VR testing team is
  of paramount importance for the success of your
  VR products and applications.
• With decades of experience, hundreds of
  satisfied clients, and highly skilled staff,
