I joined VMC in May 2014 as a software tester from home to expand my knowledge in the industry and to gain extra hours alongside other work.Whilst here I generally carried out server based testing to ensure game servers could cope with a high quantity of users and to ensure that if any issue occurred that the title would react appropriately.

I started with Huntress working for HCL in August 2013 as a compliance certification tester and gained lead status after a couple of weeks. We tested several AAA titles and countless apps managing to smash our deadlines whilst maintaining a high quality of testing. My main duty's included:- Vetting test case reports/bug reports before forwarding them to the head of compliance. - Dealing with testability issues to ensure all test cases were carried out. - Estimating completion times for test cases/completion of testing. - Network testing. - Updating terminology as and when required and informing testers of changes in test cases. - Supplying feedback to testers regarding bug reporting/time management. - Keeping up to date on new requirements/test cases in order to teach/inform testers. - Ensuring no delays to testing i.e complete documentation and availability of equipment. HCL was a fast paced and professional working environment with strict protocols but was a fun experience. This was my first role in the games industry which had a steep learning curve and I believe gave me the best start to my career in this industry.I regrettably had to leave HCL due to the lack of work available after a busy few months.
