What is Regression?
Regression Games is an AI-powered automated testing platform specifically designed for game developers and QA teams working with the Unity engine. The platform enables users to build end-to-end automated tests that mimic real player behavior, saving time, money, and reducing pain in the game testing process. It provides comprehensive tools for game test automation including replay features, validation libraries, and CI/CD integration.
Key features include Smart Recording for quickly creating automated tests by capturing player actions, OCR techniques for test automation, and Bot Sequences runtime tool that allows stitching together scripted code, recorded playback, computer vision, and exploratory bots. The platform offers chaos testing capabilities through tools like the Monkey Bot that efficiently explore games to find common issues before developers design their test approach. The SDK automatically captures game state, screenshots, logs, and performance information to help teams understand what is happening in their games beyond simple pass/fail test results.
Regression Games is ideal for game development studios, QA teams, and individual game developers working with Unity who need maintainable tests without extensive coding knowledge. The intuitive functional testing builder allows anyone to create tests, even team members without code access. The platform supports JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, and C# for bot development and integrates with CI/CD systems like GitHub Actions and GameCI.
The platform has been recognized as one of the 25 most innovative gaming startups (Game Changers) and offers a Partner Program for organizations implementing their QA automation platform. Regression Games is backed by investors and continues to release updates with new features through their weekly experimentation program called Innovation Friday.
