Before I wasfull time I got the chance to work on Rime as an intern in QA. This was my very first game in the industry and what a beautiful game it is, I highly recommend checking out Rime and its wonderful story. While I was finishing up my bachelors degree, I met up with the Senior Technical Artist who had a similar academic background as me. So I shadowed her during my breaks in QA tasks:
compliance testing for PlayStation including Lotcheck testing
perform system, confirmation, regression, load and performance testing
validate and resolve software issues through carefully documented testing to maximize return on investment
