● Communicating and coordinating with internal and external testing teams, both in the UK and abroad.
● Entering issues into our database with appropriate supporting evidence and descriptive detail.
● Taking responsibility for your issues from entry to resolution, monitoring them for requests from the development team and responding to comments or questions appropriately
● Reporting critical issues, test results and task progress to the QA Lead.
● Working with the rest of the studio to release the highest quality content possible within deadlines
The ideal candidate would have:
● Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
● 1-2 years experience in a QA role, preferably in a development studio.
● Previous experience testing on Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch platforms, and using associated target management and SDK software.
● Proficient time management and organisational skills, able to handle multiple tasks and meet set deadlines and priorities.
● Ability to follow set processes and maintain standards.
● A proactive and inventive approach to destructive/unstructured testing.
● Experience in executing test plans and carrying out effective targeted exploratory testing.
● Experience playing a variety of games including the Management/Simulation genre of games.
● A passion for video games and a desire to be part of the creative process involved in developing video games.
Not essential, but it helps if you have:
● Experience playing Two Point Hospital
● Knowledge of the development process and the various disciplines involved
● Experience using Jira and other database and project management software (Trello, Confluence etc)
● Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
