These games have high-quality visuals, animations, and sounds, which renders 100% manual testing infeasible. Also, they ensure a seamless user experience (UX) regardless of the device used by the player. As the gaming world evolves, testing has become more complex. They enable you to quickly adapt to new testing platforms.

When the engine is about to render a frame, it first lets this function know about it and expects to be handed an image in return. The engine finishes rendering its normal frame, then at the end of that frame takes the zoomed image sent by Cogmind and copies it over to the desired area before displaying the final results on the screen.
