SWGEmu QA Lead

 

For approximately half a year, I assisted with a project to revitalize what many people consider the "prime" of the Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG.  This emulator, known as "SWGEmu", was being completely recoded to be as similar to the game prior to a particular patch known as the Combat Upgrade (or CU), and was done completely from scratch with volunteer programmers. 

 

Having no coding knowledge or experience at the time, I jumped in as part of the Quality Assurance team, gaining experience working with others, testing features on demand, and narrowing down issues to likely causes.  We worked with the Mantis bug tool, and I eventually became the QA Lead for the Engineering team, one of the subsets of the crafting team. 

 

As QA Lead, I handled verifying, assigning, and pushing bugs through the pipeline as they were found, and also helped to find bugs and write several bug reports.
