In this postthis post Patrick HughesPatrick Hughes suggested, and michael.bartnettmichael.bartnett was kind to explain a bit how to do that. While it seems rather clear how to implement and use it, I'm still a bit doubt if this useful enough. Does this kind of "testing" is used widely? I mean every change in a game usually change either how input is processed or a response to same input. This makes all recorded input obsolete. Or maybe I'm missing something?

I feel like implementing a unit testing for core partsunit testing for core parts (see alsosee also) of a game are much more useful, despite it also seems much harder to implement.

So the question is, does mocking input is really good at something in game testing?

Game testing using mock input
