My career is developing more towards QA/Software testing with each successive job. I was just wondering if the Tester's positions deal with games exclusively, or are they more general Software Test Engineers?
I'm ultimately aiming for a job in the games industry, not necessarily in QA/Testing, but I'm accumulating experience in that department. I figure if I get a position doing that somewhere in the industry, I can move on to something else that interests me once I've established myself.
At the moment, I'm participating in a few Beta tests, hopefully that will help out my resume somewhat.
All that bug finding and reporting actually sounds fun. Its not that different from what I do at the moment, just that at Bungie its with games, where I am now its with less fun software...
Bug finding and testing I find to be kind of fun actually, since with every bug you find and report, the software runs smoother and smoother with each pass. You really get to see the effects of your work firsthand.
Anyhoo, great article Frankie. I'm registering on the MS careers page right now.
