Game Tester

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain detailed test plans, test cases, and test scripts tailored to mobile game features and mechanics.Review and update documentation as game features evolve during development cycles.

• Perform thorough manual testing of game builds to identify bugs, glitches, crashes, and performance issues.Validate gameplay mechanics, UI/UX elements, controls, and audio-visual components across various device models and OS versions.

• Accurately log bugs with clear reproduction steps, screenshots, or video evidence using industry-standard tools (e.g., JIRA, Bugzilla, Mantis).Prioritize and categorize bugs based on severity and impact on the game experience.

• Conduct regression testing to ensure previously fixed issues do not reoccur in future builds.Perform smoke testing on daily builds and before key releases to verify build stability.

• Test the game across a wide range of devices, screen resolutions, and OS versions to ensure broad compatibility and smooth user experience.

• Work closely with developers, designers, and product managers during all phases of development to provide timely feedback.Attend daily stand-ups, sprint planning meetings, and QA retrospectives in Agile/Scrum environments.

• Monitor game performance, including frame rate, load times, battery consumption, and memory usage.Evaluate the user experience, game balance, progression systems, and monetization flows for potential improvements.

• Participate in testing of live events, in-app purchases, updates, and patches in real-time environments.Support and monitor live builds post-release to identify and resolve user-reported issues quickly.

• Collaborate on test automation efforts using tools like Appium, Unity Test Framework, or custom scripts if applicable.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• 2–5 years of hands-on QA or game testing experience, preferably in mobile games.

• Strong understanding of game design, mobile UI/UX patterns, and the game development life cycle.

• Proficient in bug tracking and test management tools (e.g., JIRA, TestRail, Trello, Confluence).

• In-depth knowledge of iOS and Android platforms, including differences in device behavior and limitations.

• Experience in functional, exploratory, regression, UI/UX, and device compatibility testing.
