NXN Announces New Portal for Quality Assurance in Digital Entertainment
Projects at E3 in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES, May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- NXN Software, the leading supplier of
Digital Production Management (DPM) systems for the interactive entertainment,
animation and new media industries, has announced NXN alienbrain BMX web
portal, a new solution in quality assurance for digital entertainment
publishers and developers, at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3)
in Los Angeles.
Assuring the quality of their titles is a business critical factor for
publishers. Today, publishers face the daunting task of quality testing
titles that are increasing in complexity and scope of game play. Teams of
testers work together for months to ensure that game titles ship without bugs
or other quality issues.
In order to optimize the collaboration between publishers and developers,
NXN has developed a comprehensive and fully integrated defect and request
management system for digital entertainment projects: NXN alienbrain BMX.
This product allows QA teams to submit, store, delegate, track and resolve
bugs or feature requests directly as part of the team workflow in NXN
alienbrain. In contrast to other QA products, NXN alienbrain BMX is uniquely
versatile and enables QA managers to adapt processes and reports exactly to
their needs.
"With the release of the NXN alienbrain BMX portal solution, we have
created a common production link between game publishers and their developers
that helps deliver high quality games to market," said Gregor vom Scheidt,
chief executive officer at NXN Software.
Remote Collaboration for Testers and Publishers
Currently, quality assurance is often based on home-grown processes that
frequently involve inefficiencies such as emailing Excel spreadsheets back and
forth between the developer and publisher. By using the BMX portal, QA teams
can submit bugs to the central NXN alienbrain database where publishing-side
producers can review them before sending them on to the development team --
without installing any additional software at their site. With NXN
alienbrain, the developers can simply access the database and work directly
from the version-controlled bug list.
Benefits for Publishers
In addition to the quality assurance features of the BMX portal, NXN's
DPM-solution supports publishers throughout the whole project lifecycle.
Using NXN alienbrain with its integrated project and asset management
functionality as the production backbone minimizes the risk of project delay
and assures the consistent quality of the titles released.
