MrSixFour Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hello All,My Situation is this:Rockstar North (My favourite studio) are now publicly hiring again. As such; I'm gonna go in for a tester position.What I would really appreciate is maybe one or two character references from the staff or maybe even good friends I've made here.It would really go a long way on my CV, as I'm already a tester here for the T & A mission. Credible experience goes a long way with companies like Rockstar (They get pretty paranoid about corporate spies [so I've been told by people who have worked there])Anyway guys, anyone who is willing to be a reference for me, I would truly be eternally grateful!Thanks Guys, stay cool.

MrSixFour Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 He's a cool guy. -Cain, AW Arma Admin. While what you say is 110% true, Cain. I think Rockstar may be looking for a little bit more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombguy5 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 You already asked me this before SixFour, just making sure that you remember, I will gladly be one of your references. MrSixFour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I can't give you a reference cause I'm not into the Arma side of things here at Ahoy World. However I am a QA Engineer/Tester so I can give you some things to look into for your CV or Interview. Here's a few keywords they'll be looking out for: Types of testingAcceptance testing Automated testing Accessibility testing Black-box testing Compatibility testing Component testing End-to-end testing Exploratory testing Functional testing Integration testing Load testing Non-functional testing Performance testing Regression testing Requirements testing Sanity testing Security testing Unit testing (usually a dev's job not tester but worth knowing about) Usability testingtesting, testing, and more testing Development methodologiesWaterfall RAD Agile (Strongly recomend reading into this, no doubt Rockstar will be running there development with this process or a variant of it) V-model based frameworks Testing toolsBug tracker: This may seem like an obvious one but look into different bug tracking tools like Jira, HP Quality Center, IBM Rational Quality Manager Test execution tools Automation tools Performance testing tools Security testing tools Testing methodsBoundary value analysis: A test design technique where test cases are designed based on boundary values Decision tables Data-driven: A test scripting technique where you put in your inputs and results in a table and use one test script for execution. This is often used in automated testing Equivalence partitioning: Another test design technique where you cover each partition at least once Hazard or risk analysis Test driven development: Writing the tests before the software Roles and responsibilitiesTester or QA Engineer Test Manager Test Analyst QA Lead Developer Product Owner - This guy is your best friend when it comes to acceptance criteria Scrum Master - If you're doing Agile, this is the one making sure you're doing it properly Product Manager QualificationsISTQB: In the UK these are the ones to get TMMi Professional: If the company is doing TMMi (I think this is quite common in the US but not so much in the games industry, more safety critical stuff) Wow, I didn't mean to write quite that much. Hope this helps you with your application MrSixFour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
