GDC 2013 - BioWare involved in QA Summit

by rawmeatcowboy
14 December 2012
GN Version 4.0
Partners in Development (Embed Model)

SPEAKER/S: Tulay Tetiker McNally (BioWare) and Arone Le Bray (BioWare)
DAY / TIME / LOCATION: TBD
TRACK / DURATION / FORMAT / AUDIENCE LEVEL: QA Summit / 60-Minute / Lecture / All
GDC VAULT RECORDING: TBD
DESCRIPTION: This presentation will explore the working relationship between BioWare QA and the BioWare development team. We will explore the challenges encountered while implementing the integrated QA model, and the pros and cons that have resulted from the embedded QA model. ?The session will conclude with a specific case study describing how the embedded model at BioWare applies to the narrative creation process (VO, Writing, Cinematics) on Mass Effect 3 and how QA was able to find issues early on. This made it easier to avoid costly changes in content at later stages of development, and ultimately provided the end user with a better experience.
TAKEAWAY: BioWare has a rich history of delivering high quality, AAA game experiences. Attendees of this seminar will develop a deeper understanding of BioWare's Embedded QA model. They will be provided with clear examples of the model in practice, and will understand the value of QA being partners in development, from concept to release and beyond.
