Press play - know it works: Automated testing in Godot

Hello Godotneers! In this video, we're going to explore how we can use automated tests to catch bugs early and test our game logic quickly without having to do hours of manual clicking. We'll start with a quick overview of what tools we can use and how to write a simple test. We're going to look at how to structure our game so it becomes easily testable and we're going to look into some tips and tricks on how we can write our tests so they are better maintainable. And at the end we're going to try to test a whole game from start to finish. It's going to be a fun ride so fire up Godot and learn how to automate the testing of your game.
