+There are several ways in which the GGS can be tested.
+ The most important aspect has been deemed to be the experience players
+ have when using the GGS.
+ In order to test the user experience of the GGS, a realistic usage scenario

+The GGS is intended to be used for powering games which have many concurrent
+ players.
+ The players need not participate in the same instance of the game, games
+ such as chess are prime candidates for the GGS.

+\begin_layout Standard
+When developing the GGS, two main categories of games exhibiting different
+ performance demands were identified; real-time games and turn-based games.
+ The real-time games were deemed more demanding than the turn based games.
+ Tests were carried out using a real time game, since this is the more demanding
+ type of games.

+\begin_layout Standard
+The real time game chosen for testing the GGS is 
+\emph on
+Pong
+\emph default
+, a game in which two players play a game involving a all and two paddles.
+ The goal for each player is to shoot eside the othre player's paddle while
+ not allowing the ball to pass by her own paddle.
+ The game requires real time updates and is quite demanding when played
+ in several instances concurrently.

+ The tests were initially performed by starting an operating system process

+ Due to lack of hardware, not enough player processes could be started in

+ enough processes could be created to successfully test the server.
