3. Quality of XR systems is hard
(and expensive) to assess
Highly interactive
Rich and complex environments
Diverse multi-modal input and output
Testing demands high human labour (user testing)
https://iv4xr-project.eu/ Workshop on Interactive Technologies, June 26, 2020

4. QA is crucial in the development of XR systems
Iterative development cycles
https://iv4xr-project.eu/ Workshop on Interactive Technologies, June 26, 2020

5. Use Artificial Intelligence (AI)
to support automation of XR
testing

6. Testing Functional Properties
• The behaviour of the system
1
Testing User Experience (UX)
• The impact on the user
2
