• Verify and test the functionality of the Features being implemented in the game.• Create and execute test plans containing multiple test cases, in order to call a feature implementation DONE.• Log defects/ bugs as the first line of defence to ensure the highest quality product enters the QA phase, hence reducing the turnaround time and bug fixing time during the QA cycles.• Maintain the bug database, along with driving the team for bug fixes and regressing the bug fixes.• Lead the bi-monthly Bug Triage meetings with the Production team to determine the bugs to be included in the upcoming sprint(s).• Run weekly task review meetings with the production counterparts, to drive the closure of tasks/ features that require approvals.• Run in-house playtests during each milestone, to gather feedback from an end user perspective.• Plan and communicate the QA efforts required for the milestone. This includes, but is not limited to, planning the QA Cycle, conveying the major focus areas in the application.• Set up test scenarios, via various tools, to ensure the effective validation of all the test cases.• Attend Design kick-off meetings to ensure any probable exploits and requirements are accounted for, thereby reducing the bugs post implementation.• Convey the risks (if any) before hitting the respective release milestones.

On performing my duties exceptionally, as a QA Tester II, I was presented with the opportunity to move up the ladder as a QA Analyst. With the new designation, came in a whole new range of roles and responsibilities.Initially I was looking into the Live operations of the product along with writing test cases for the upcoming updates. While simultaneously looking into both these aspects of the product, I was also taking part in the update and live planning sprints done using the Agile-Scrum framework. As a QA Analyst it was my duty to ensure that the product meets the expected standards, at the end of each sprint, in terms of design and production requirements. Using various tools and systems at my disposal I had additionally taken on the responsibility to provide server side assistance, in terms of product features, to the Core QA counter parts.After the first initial months, I had taken up the task of verifying end user complaints and authenticity, via Database search and data analysis using SQL. I was conducting product update demo sessions with the entire team at the end of each sprint along with conducting knowledge transfer sessions with the Core QA counterparts at the beginning of each update. I was also helping in create automation feasibility reports and automation flow charts for the application, as additional responsibilities. Additionally I was also working alongside the Server engineering team in order to migrate the game server from an internal server to AWS.

As soon as I had completed a year with EA, I was promoted to the position of QA Tester II. Along with the existing responsibilities, the new role demanded a few additional responsibilities.Now, I had the responsibility of reviewing and updating the existing test plans (test plan maintenance). I was also allocated the duty of creating automation test cases for the product. I was also handed the responsibility to manage task planning and execution for the team.During most of my tenure as a QA Tester II, I was shadowing for the vacant QA Test Lead position in the project and also had the opportunity to train the next designated QA Test Lead. Due to my ability to derive knowledge from sources in a short span, I was assigned as the point of contact in QA for any product related information and was now involved in training/ on-boarding the new peers that joined the team as well.

Joining Electronic Arts at the entry level Quality Assurance position of QA Tester, my major job role was to execute test cases outlined as a part of the test plans (Scripted Testing) and performing non-scripted testing (Ad-Hoc testing/ 'Out of the Box' testing). Along with the aforementioned tasks, as a tester I was held accountable for reporting all the defects and performing accurate regression and side-effect testing for the fixes implemented.On achieving a very high Defect Capture Rate with only 2 invalid defects during the initial 6 months, I was soon handed over additional responsibilities, such as providing qualitative reports to the production counterparts as and when requested.Towards the ending of my first year at EA, I was also sharing essential product information with my peers. This helped in achieving a high efficiency and defect capture rate, as a team.
