A Day in the Life of a QA in Game Development
For Nasya, every day as a Quality Assurance is all about precision and collaboration. Her day kicks off with setting up a detailed timeline that maps out the testing tasks for each sprint, ensuring every feature is tested on time.
Once the plan is in place, it’s time to dive into the action—running diverse scenarios to catch potential bugs and verify that fixes hold up. When an issue arises, Nasya works closely with the development team, documenting the bug’s details and digging into its root cause before collaborating on a solution.
