As a Junior QA Tester at Nacon Studio Milan, I’ve worked closely with the publishing QA team at Nacon, giving me the chance to contribute to a variety of game projects across different studios.
Thanks to this collaboration, I had the opportunity to connect with multiple development teams and get a firsthand look from the inside at how different types of games are built from early development to release.
This experience deepened my understanding of production pipelines and QA processes, while highlighting the importance of clear communication, thorough testing, and cross-team coordination in delivering polished and stable builds.
