Description

The QA Tester is responsible for testing specific projects under the guidance of the Lead Tester and/or QA Manager. The primary function of the QA Tester is to test a game for software bugs, enter detailed information about those bugs into a database, and track their progress until the game is shipped.

Responsibilities:

* Test multiple task lists and test cases, and respond to the team, or testing lead, with pass/fail and other indicators.
* Duplicate the mindset of typical and/or atypical users, while dissecting the game methodically to locate hidden bugs.
* Log articulate and detailed bugs into database using precise and detailed descriptions, and steps required to reproduce the bugs. Identify a bug's 'root cause' whenever possible. Ensure timely response on requests for more information, and proper bug flow.
* Track and re-test all existing bugs regularly, and update the bug database accordingly.
* Verify that bugs marked 'fixed' in the database are indeed fixed, before closing the bug.
* Re-test closed bugs that are potentially affected by changes to tuning and functionality. In short, follow rigorous procedures for testing the regression of bugs, with particular attention to possible sidestream, or knock-on bugs.
* Notify appropriate team members of verified bugs; reproduce bugs for programmers and other team members.
* Attend QA and team meetings as requested.
* Assist other projects as directed by the Producer, Test Lead or QA Manager.

Knowledge & Educational Requirements:

* Game testing experience.
* Experience with MS Office and database entry.
* Strong knowledge of games.
* Excellent written communication skills; strong grasp of English grammar and conversation.
* AA degree or equivalent.
