NPC Check List[edit]

  • Before running regression tests of festival updates, make a list of NPCs in each of the zones/outposts that will be changed.
  • As part of testing, double-check that (a) each NPC actually appears and (b) they provide the identical interactive experiences with at least a single character.
Background

Unfortunately, over the last 12 months or so, various updates associated with a festival activity have resulted in one or more NPCs going missing. For example, after Wintersday 2010 started, Murro was not available. The problems are generally more annoying than critical, but they take the shine away from otherwise fun and exciting changes.

This additional step should reduce the overall amount of time spent by developers and testers.
