An engineering account of gameplay automation: state setup, commands, result checks and conditional waits. Useful when turning acceptance scenarios into executable checks.

## When to use it

An engineering account of gameplay automation: state setup, commands, result checks and conditional waits. Useful when turning acceptance scenarios into executable checks.

## Access

The public article was published on February 26, 2016. Examples reflect Riot’s infrastructure at that time; this is an approach to study rather than a library for your engine.

## Try it

For one ability, set the initial state, issue an action and wait for the expected condition with a timeout. Check that a deliberate rule defect makes the test fail.
