Automated MMORPG Testing - An Agent-Based Approach

A work-in-progress agent-based framework for automated testing of an open-source massively multi-player on-line role playing game (MMORPG) called The Mana World is presented. The implemented system, in its current state, allows for model-driven development of tests using a graphical user interface (GUI), implementation of automated artificial players (bots) and their use in testing the quests (player tasks) of the game. The system is implemented using Python, SPADE, SWI Prolog and AToM\(^3\).
