Dance Dance Regression

I wonder what's involved in the QA process for all those dancing video games? Do they have scripted dances that the testers need to perform?

Test 29C:

  1. left hand up, shake 2 seconds
  2. right foot back kick, hold 1.5 sec
  3. spin, counterclockwise, moderately fast
  4. right foot hop
  5. left foot hop
  6. right foot hop
  7. ...

Do people do this full-time ? Is it exhausting ? If development changes some code, does QA have to go back and re-dance all the basic tests each time ? Or, do they have robots...

On second thought, I bet they just have some fake USB controllers that are hooked to a script engine so they can just play a "recording" of someone going through the tests. Boo...

    Hints for Name That Tune. Cleek, can you put them in the appropriate place?

    Only songs that nobody has identified either the artist or title get hints. There are four. One of those was thrown in as a stumper, ie, I never expected anybody to get it, and so far nobody has.

    8)Ricky Ricardo says Eureka!
    10)Don’t let the fact that iTunes won’t let you search for this band Marr your enjoyment
    11)Defunct Nashville band whose name fit the theme, the song much less so
    19)Lower. Lower. Lower.
