At Final Strike Games we are passionate about quality, consistency and creating fun games. QA Testers are responsible for not only their work but also the success of the team at large. QA Testers must enjoy working closely with engineers, artists and designers to gather and document bugs in priority systems. Also must have the adaptability to frequently change testing focus as needed.
Duties include but not limited to:
- Daily Build Verification Test (BVT) Report: Report of the overnight cooked build that’s generated by the test team each day. Send BVT results to the BVT channel in Slack from each member of the team, rotating daily.
- Black Box Testing: Test the build on an end user platform, i.e. PC, Xbox or PS4. Testing will not occur in the editor. Each tester is expected to be familiar with every platform on a basic level i.e. being able to setup and test the daily build on any specific platform.
- Build walkthrough's: Build walkthrough lists are regularly created from review sessions. Lists are divided by team members and each issue / tasks is appropriately logged.
- Trello Board: Each team member is required to regularly check their personal trello board. Tasks are assigned by the QA Lead and organized in priority by color. (Black is most important, Red is second most important).
- Log Tasks
- Verify Bug Fixes : After a bug has been marked as fixed, the tester will verify that the bug is fixed in the first daily build made after the fix was checked in.
- Verify Task Completion : After a task has been marked done, the tester will go and verify that the task is complete in the first daily build made after the task work was checked in.
