GameDriver SaaS

The execution platform. You run it.

GameDriver SaaS licenses the same platform that powers our QaaS engagements – without us operating it. You author the tests, run the pipeline, and own the coverage. Built for studios that already run QA automation as a discipline.

SaaS – this page

Your team authors and operates. Full platform access, no managed layer.

QaaS – managed→

We run coverage for you. Right if you want execution as infrastructure.

DeploymentSelf-operated

What's licensed

The same execution platform. None of the operation.

The full execution layer

Same toolchain used in QaaS engagements – native Unity, Unreal, and Godot support. No reduced-capability tier.

Dev console hardware access

Authorized middleware status on PlayStation and Nintendo extends through to licensees. Tests execute on the dev console itself – not a desktop proxy.

Reference implementations and engineering support

Documentation, integration examples, and a contracted engineering support channel. Not a managed service – escalation, not operation.

What you operate

The work that decides whether the signal is useful.

Authoring

Writing the tests that cover the parts of the game that matter. Scope, prioritization, and depth – your team's call.

Maintenance

Keeping coverage current as object paths rename, UI reorganizes, and features get cut and reintroduced. This is the work most teams underestimate.

Pipeline and integration

Running execution against your builds, wiring findings into your release process, and operating the pipeline against your infrastructure.

Platform drift

Keeping the execution layer current as engines, platforms, and dev kits ship updates. The platform moves; your implementation has to move with it.

Who this is for

A small audience, honestly.

GameDriver SaaS makes sense for studios that already have one or more QA engineers whose primary job is building and operating automated test infrastructure – not test execution, infrastructure. That bench is what makes an execution layer return capacity instead of consuming it.

Without it, a self-operated coverage layer becomes the maintenance burden it was supposed to eliminate. That's the problem QaaS solves: we operate the layer so your team doesn't have to. If your team isn't structurally set up to operate test infrastructure as a discipline, engage QaaS. If it is, license SaaS.

Outsourced. SaaS. QaaS. Only one shifts the risk.

Outsourced QA is sold by the hour – you absorb every change. SaaS licenses the platform – you absorb the operation. QaaS delivers it as a service – we absorb the risk that the game keeps changing.

QA Solved. Not Staffed.

Sure SaaS is the right fit?

Tell us about your team, your engines, and the platforms you ship to. We'll be honest about which model fits – and if QaaS makes more sense for where you are today, we'll say so.
