Company: Big Huge Games
Time of Employment: October 2021 - April 2023
Job Title: QA Tester

Testing Duties:
As a QA tester on Dominations, I played various builds of the game and followed test plans checking features for bugs. Any bugs that were found, I wrote up with detailed summaries and supporting files on JIRA. I was also able to test features and new mechanics for the Drone Age update before and after launch. During my process of writing bugs and being a tester, I communicated with other designers, artists, programmers, and the marketing team to investigate bugs, follow them up when I was asked questions, and notify them of serious issues found. I attended standup meetings for features I was assigned to and then also reported progress.

Adding To The Testing Process:
During my time, I learned how to set up test cases and did so with relevant documentation with upcoming features that were planned. I also became a part of the interview process of new QA hires by being the interviewer asking questions and then training new hires.

Insight Gained:
With this position, I learned how QA testing works on mobile devices for Google and Apple both. Writing clear and concise information for other developers to quickly read and understand issues found by me. I also adapted quickly to new features I was put on to test by reading support documentation and asking questions better understand what to look for when testing.
