Software Evaluations & Compliance Testing

Most gaming developers begin with a Software Platform (also known as 'shell software') used as the base for a number of different and individual Games. This Software Platform also contains most of the features which are common to all of the Games, such as currency handling, peripheral device handling and metering. Individual Games are then developed using this common Software Platform. This approach reduces the overall cost of development. However, this requires an extensive evaluation of the software because of its critical nature to the project.

TST's Software Evaluations typically include the following functionality and design elements:

  • Submitted Documentation Review,
  • Source Code Read,
  • Area Access Detection,
  • Program Storage Devices,
  • Data Memory Requirements,
  • Currency Handling,
  • Input / Output Devices,
  • Printout Format, and
  • Modes of Operation.
