Bright Star QA Tester


Synopsis

During my final semsester at university worked part time as a QA tester for Bright Star studio testing on their upcoming game Embersword, led by their main QA engineer i was given weekly tasks to carry out such as regression tests, explorative testing in certain areas of the game and keeping test cases updated and relevant. I was shown and taught the best techniques and the ins and outs from the expertise from their lead and by the end was capable of testing and follwing their process of bug reporting and test case managing with ease.

Some of the key contibutions are as follows

  • Completed weekly regression tests and various parts of the game and reported bugs as follows when and if they were found
  • Taught best and most efficient way for bug reporting and what to add to each report such as evidence and step by step reproduction
  • Helped maintain test cases and help update when areas changed in games and test cases needed to follow suit
  • Helped maintain bug database by checking already known bugs before making new reports and if so linking said report to the test case which had the problem
