Company: Unity
Merge Dragons! is a free to play mobile puzzle game with a very large player base. At Unity I worked with the live service team as a Senior Mobile QA Tester, leading QA on iOS and Android as the game kept getting regular updates.
With a live game, every update goes out to a lot of players on a lot of different phones at once, so a bad build is a big deal. The job was making sure each one was stable and ran well before it went out.
What I did
- Wrote and ran test plans for mobile performance, memory use and battery drain.
- Compatibility testing on four devices at different performance levels.
- Checked updates against Apple App Store and Google Play requirements.
- Ran test sessions focused on how the game actually feels to play, which turned up issues our scripted tests didn’t.
- Mentored junior testers on mobile testing and writing good bug reports.
Tools
Jira, Confluence, the Unity engine, profiling and performance tools, and four iOS and Android test devices.
