In this 2017 GDC session, BioWare’s Barbara Klimek explains why BioWare QA has invested in its internal QA analysts, embedding them directly in the teams they support.
This was a great talk for anyone interested in how BioWare’s QA process works, as Klimek laid out how QA embeds in game teams and tries to act as a sort of “support class”, providing feedback from the earliest stages of the game development process.
It was an intriguing session, and now you can watch it for yourself completely free over on the official GDC YouTube channel!
In addition to this presentation, the GDC Vault and its accompanying YouTube channel offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent Game Developers Conference events, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.
Those who purchased All Access passes to recent events like GDC or VRDC already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription via a GDC Vault subscription page. Group subscriptions are also available: game-related schools and development studios who sign up for GDC Vault Studio Subscriptions can receive access for their entire office or company by contacting staff via the GDC Vault group subscription page.
