    Dead Space Extraction The Marker

    Maybe you get to test games like Dead Space Extraction on the Wii?

    Games Testers are one of the most sought after roles in gaming.  Often they are seen as glamorous roles….with testers playing games all day….and getting paid!  Sounds like utopia.  Obviously, this is not the case and QA (Games Testers) roles are a lot more complicated than that….and a lot more scientific and process related than you would imagine.  QA roles are now careers that you can progress and gain promotion up to Directorship level.  So what do testers do?…………..

    Quality Assurance Technicians, or Testers, perform a vital role in game development, testing, tuning, debugging, and suggesting detailed refinements that lead to higher quality and better playability of the finished game. The job involves playing (i.e., testing) the game in a systematic way, analyzing the game’s performance against the designer’s intentions, identifying problems, and suggesting improvements. In effect, they act as the game’s first audience, reporting on playability and identifying any aspects which could be improved. Testers are responsible for assuring quality in the final product and for finding flaws in a game before it goes public.

    If you would love to be a games tester, we are recruiting now and have opportunities across the world.  As usual, first port of call is www.jobs.ea.com

    To provide more insight, take a look at this video overview…..
