Game Tester - Quality Assurance SkyZone Entertainment 6/06 - 1/07

Tested cell phone games thoroughly to make sure every problem was found and

fixed. Each game needed to be tested on multiple phones, including not only

playing the game through but calling the phone while playing the game,

making sure that the game starts and ends correctly and making sure that it

saves and accesses data correctly. This required a lot of attention to

detail, logical thinking, and efficiency to make sure the games could be

published on time.
