 Testing in the Metaverse – Mixed Reality (XR, AR & VR)

Talk description

The Metaverse blurs the boundaries between technology and the real world. The matrix of digital experiences (DX) from companies like Meta (Facebook) workspaces and Microsoft HoloLens 2.0 introduce fully immersive digital workforce collaborations within Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR) worlds. This leads to complex situations such as “how do you test next generation technologies like NFTs containing digital artefacts that span across crypto wallets of testing merchandise rendered onto your 3D avatar representation of your digital twin self on your daily-standup on Microsoft Teams Mesh.

Testers place in the Metaverse to shape next generation capabilities:

  • Automated testing for XR, AR & MR
  • Cloud-based XR, AR & MR device farms

  • Image-Based Testing (IBT) for high speed computer vision

3 take aways:

  • Digital twin testing in the physical world (MBT/IBT)
  • Observability of complex real-world oracle meta test data (i.e. hyper-baselining)

  • Digital personas, experiences and interactions (i.e. Polygamification)
