## What it does

The command inspects project files, including `package.json`, existing tests, build configurations, CI files, and platform targets. It then proposes a setup for unit and integration tests, automated gameplay checks, and regression testing.

Its plan can cover scene and save loading, input handling, AI behavior, performance, platform compatibility, and CI/CD reporting. It looks for signs of Unity, Unreal, and Godot, so the checks depend on the project’s files and configuration.

Performance work can include frame-rate stability, memory use, load times, and stress scenarios. Suggested deliverables include test runners, test data, benchmarks, and metrics collection; the strategy can also include cloud testing and device farms.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command game-development/game-testing-framework
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/game-testing-framework.md` — Call it with /game-testing-framework. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/game-testing-framework.md` — Call it with /prompts:game-testing-framework. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/game-testing-framework.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/game-testing-framework.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/commands/game-development/game-testing-framework.md

## When to use it
- test core gameplay logic with unit tests
- catch failures in scene and save loading
- compare performance across target platforms
- automate gameplay and regression checks
- connect tests to CI/CD reporting

## Example prompts
- Set up a testing framework for this game project.
- Add performance and regression checks for the target platforms.
- Automate tests for scene loading and save files.

# Game Testing Framework & Automation

Implement comprehensive game testing framework: $ARGUMENTS

## Current Testing Context

- Game engine: @package.json or detect Unity/Unreal/Godot project files
- Existing tests: !`find . -name "*test*" -o -name "*Test*" | head -10`
- CI/CD setup: @.github/workflows/ or @.gitlab-ci.yml or @Jenkinsfile (if exists)
- Build configs: !`find . -name "*.sln" -o -name "*.csproj" -o -name "build.gradle" | head -3`
- Platform targets: !`grep -r "BuildTarget\|Platform\|Target" . 2>/dev/null | wc -l` target configurations

## Task
