About This Course

Before a game is released to the public, it undergoes rigorous quality assurance testing to find and fix bugs. QA testers help spot glitches as well as evaluate other aspects of the game as a “first end user” (a player who hasn’t worked on or experienced the game before). QA Testing for Games, which was designed with direct industry feedback from professional developers like EA Tiburon, Epic Games, and Insomniac, covers the skills required to QA test games, from best practices and tools of the trade to career paths in QA testing.
