Game Testing All in One (Game Development Series)

The CD

Companion files are arranged into folders for each chapter. Some of the files require you to install other software which you may not have, and those are provided in the Tools folder on the CD. Many tools on the CD are demo or shareware versions, so if you are satisfied with them and intend to use them in your work, please honor your licensing and purchasing obligation. If you want tools that do more than what's been included here, see if the tool companies provide more advanced versions of what you have right now. Otherwise, check with some colleagues or search the Web to find what you are looking for. More details about the CD contents are provided in the "What's on the CD" appendix at the back of this book.

Your Tools

Microsoft Excel and Word are the only software you are expected to already have in order to use files provided on the CD. When installing the executable programs referenced on the CD, choose the installation options best suited for your machine, or consult the program's Web site for other download options or versions.
