+# Asset Pipeline Workflow Tests:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Testing in this area focuses on the functionality of the Asset Processor, Asset Bundler, Scene Processing, and Asset Validation.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Common Issues to Watch For:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Test guidance will sometimes note specific issues to watch for. The common issues below should be watched for through all testing, even if unrelated to the current workflow being tested.
|
|
|
+1. Console log errors/warnings/spam
|
|
|
+2. Asserts
|
|
|
+3. Improperly rendered scenes
|
