Strafe allows users to fully immerse themselves in the esports world right from their gadgets. Our QA team has many esports fans, so it was a pleasure to test Strafe. Exploratory and localization testing revealed a few issues. Due to the improper display of some UI elements, users can't view player statistics. Not every interface was fully localized, and I also stumbled upon a broken link. Even though these defects are minor, they should be included in future test scenarios to better the user experience.
