QA is Your Strongest Design Ally
In modern video game dev, having QA as a design ally can provide you with more than a feeling of safety. This talk will explore how empowering QA teams as subject matter experts (SMEs) can elevate game design through intentional collaboration, visibility, and qualitative feedback. Drawing from experience as a QA Lead on World of Warcraft, Carey Littlefield will walk through real examples of how embedded QA improved features before they reached players. Attendees will learn how to integrate and align with QA to bring them into the fold early; to build trust between disciplines and find feedback congruency with design timelines. This session will challenge older, outdated models and offer actionable strategies to make QA an invaluable inclusion in your development pipeline.
