The Tukko Report is a service of Tukko Labs, An online game quality assurance company dedicated to providing specialized game testing services for Social Games, MMOG’s, and Virtual Worlds. The game analysts at Tukko Labs are experts in the field of game quality assurance and user research. They have brought their experience and insight to the Tukko Report to provide news and critical analysis for the game industry. Based in Marin County, California, Tukko Report is focused on being the industry standard from which all social games are tested and reviewed.
Tukko Labs testing group is considered a pioneer in the field of Stress, Load, and Heuristic testing (and the ability to have from 500 to 1000 testers log -on to an online application or game server simultaneously). The test group is also a thought leader in the fields of usability and alpha testing, and has developed the Player Liquidity System, a unique method to create meaningful level of activity, game play, and social dynamics within game environments just prior-to, or at launch. Tukko Labs believes all games should be tested early and often during the development cycle.
Our primary purpose is to give developers and publishers a good reflection of what the consumer feedback would be like, prior to the game going live, so that such items as “polish” can be implemented prior to any commercial releases.
