Question

A popular video game developer, MBGames, has grown a reputation for releasing major video games that have a long list of bugs. In the latest release, Spy Simulator 3, one case includes a character opening a car door and the car door is ripped off and slung across the map. Another bug occurs when walking through some thresholds of the game, and the player will fall through the floor of the map and keep falling to eternity. Lastly, the main character plays a "deep breath" animation, which causes the character to die instantly. Many YouTubers have created clips from their streams and posted compilation videos of the bugs in action, as a humorous gesture.

Answer 1

Question 1
Most appropriate audit: MBGames should conduct a process audit to examine if their procedures measure up to company standards.
Reason: A process audit will identify gaps in development, QA, release, and patching procedures that caused the repeated buggy releases and help stabilize future releases.

Maintenance mapping
- After months of maintenance... players suggest features → Perfective Maintenance (implementing new/enhanced features to meet user needs).
- Released on Switch, new console announced → Adaptive Maintenance (modify the game to run on the new platform/API).
- New features caused slight performance drop; team optimizes to avoid future issues → Preventative Maintenance (proactive optimization to prevent future problems/degradation).
- Spy Simulator 3 releases and is littered with bugs → Corrective Maintenance (fixing defects and bugs discovered after release).
