TESTING TIMES QA firms such as Kudos stand to really feel the pinch when electricity prices go up, testers being the definition of highintensity players. “Games that are higher performance on PCs running highertech video cards use a lot of energy, and then there are monitors and other equipment – we try to turn everything off after use,” Andy Robson notes. “But I’d say mobile is [also bad] because you have to charge. We’ve got about 80-odd devices. If you’re doing a compatibility run or testing on them, you’ve got to have them fully charged all the time.”
