Atomic Talk Title: Metaverse – It’s the other me, so I need to be sure it’s alright

“The metaverse (or just “metaverse”), in today’s context, is a shorthand for virtual worlds, where users can interact with each other and engage with apps and services in a far more immersive way. The term “metaverse” first appeared in Neal Stephenson’s sci-fi novel Snow Crash, where it described a virtual reality world.

Metaverse allows organizations, individuals, and governments to interact with each other using a digital avatar and landscape which makes use of technologies like blockchain, AR/VR, and digital currency. This makes ensuring a safe, scalable, and reliable environment to operate even more important which increases the need to have an effective and more forward-looking test strategy.

Testing for apps built for Metaverse will require ensuring the security of information shared, the performance of the application to provide users an experience as real as meeting someone outside the virtual world but at the same time “ensuring the user can use the applications on any device. “
