Scheme for use in testing software for computer entertainment systems

摘要

Scheme for use in testing software for computer entertainment systems allows the operations that are entered by the user into the system's manual controller (or "game pad") to be recorded. A test version of a software title includes code that initializes a library that is configured to record controller data for testing purposes. The controller data from the manual controller is received in a host and is then stored. The captured controller data can then be used to reproduce the bug or other flaw. The library may also be configured to retrieve controller data from storage for testing purposes to implement a playback function. The retrieved controller data is sent to an operating system for the entertainment system to emulate controller input data when running the game or other software.
