My time as an Associate Quality Assurance Analyst for Build A Rocket Boy primarily involved testing their first title, MindsEye, in the months leading up to its release and moving onto their player content creation platform post-release. My duties include regularly testing story missions and user-generated content for bugs, crashes, performance issues, new hardware profiling and more. I regularly coordinate with colleagues within QA and other departments such as Production, Design and Development to see that issues found are addressed and that the fixes are verified.

During the pre-launch phase, I was responsible for leading a team to perform the fortnightly vehicle sweep which involved thoroughly testing every playable vehicle in the game, confirming each had all of the intended and expected functions, attributes, physics and audio updating associated documentation, creating and maintaining tickets to resolve any issues found.

I am currently part of the team responsible for testing and resolving requests to investigate issues within the game’s “Build.Mindseye”  mode, an integral part of the game and one of the major attractions for MindsEye as it progresses into its post-release phase where players are able to use the constantly updating UGC tools to create their own experiences in the MindsEye world using tens of thousands of assets and a build-in visual logic nodes based scripting system where the only limit is the imagination of the user. One of my main responsibilities is checking the huge library of assets, confirming that all the intended physics, materials, intended logic and functionality are present, coordinating with the various teams across the Build platform from design and code to art and other QA to make sure all issues are addressed.
