@AngryLance: Huh, I didn't know you were a game tester for Battlefield 1. What was it like? Yeah, I worked for a time at Electronic Arts (here in Romania), during my last years of college. Being my first foray into software testing, it was interesting. I liked that I could test various things like multiplayer invites, peripheral function (keyboard/controller), debug text, online store, OS compatibility, game stability after repeated PC rebooting or internet disconnects, etc. That sort of thing. It was interesting to roll out a set a tests or scripts, as they were called, then write them as either passed or failed. If a test was failed and the game had a bug, I would either link to an existing bug in the Jira database, or write it myself in the database.

Then it gradualy got to shit the more I got shifted to sport games; namely fucking FIFA, and the tests became more and more tedious, which didn't allow me to be thorough in my test because the corporate jagoffs at EA wanted faster working pace in general. After a year and 8 months, I fucked off from there.
