Writing Test Cases: To ensure consistency and thoroughness in our testing efforts, I took on the task of writing comprehensive test cases. These documents served as a valuable reference, guiding our team through the testing process.

Issue Validation: I played a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the game's overall quality. This included validating both new issues and pre-existing ones to ensure they were properly documented and addressed by the development team.

Regression Testing with Perforce: Utilizing Perforce, I conducted regression testing to safeguard the game's stability. This involved checking for unintended issues resulting from updates, preventing any disruptions to the player experience.
