Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s IMGD department requires MQP teams to conduct playtesting in order to graduate, yet past data shows that MQP teams do not complete effective playtesting. To improve the newly created playtesting website and MQP practices as a whole, we attended several WPI events to observe and interview teams regarding their playtesting practices. The specific events we conducted research at include Protofest, Alphafest, an IMGD Playtesting colloquium, and interviews with the website developers. From these meetings, we report in this paper how current MQP teams are conducting their playtesting, their opinions on the playtesting process, and how the IMGD playtesting website and process can be improved for future use.
