Role: QA Lead – Games
Based in: Mumbai
Reporting to: CTO
Experience Required: 8+ Years of Experience
As a QA Lead, you need to drive the overall quality of games published by Games2win. This involves approaching a game from the player’s perspective and addressing the KPI’s of each product release.
You would need to understand the KPIs of each product and the updates we are planning, and translate them to tests that your team will execute. You will work closely with Product Management and always pay attention to the player’s experience.
You will manage a team of experienced testers, and take responsibility for test case management and the work that your team does. You will define tools that the team may use, such as test case management tools or automation tools.
What would you need to do? (Role and Responsibilities)
- Work closely with the Product Team (comprising Product Managers and the CEO) to understand what each game’s update is about. Translate these requirements into test plans that your team must execute.
- Review Requirements and Builds from a Player’s Perspective ; what is a nuisance, what does not feel right, what is confusing ? And provide constructive feedback to the Product and Delivery Teams.
- Keep an eye to optimize test plans by periodically reviewing the productivity of you team, the test cases they are executing and weeding out inefficiencies. Given that we operate similar games, you will find test cases that can be shared across games, and there will be knowledge from individual testers that can be shared with the team.
- Work with your QA Managers to estimate effort for all testing activities, and ensure the teams complete the test phases on time
- Collaborate with the various teams (Engineering, Analysts, Delivery) in planning, prioritizing and delivering quality products and programs.
- Coordinate with external partners for resource planning and billing.
- Facilitate knowledge sharing between test teams and develop relevant training programs.
