MarketTantrik Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Indian Game Testing company involved with Star Wars MMO The rumor stork has dropped a little nugget for us today. A job posting on the Contractorindex website mentions the requirement of QA Tester / Game Tester position for Bioware's upcoming online epic. The description is reproduced below: Job Title: QA Tester/ Game Tester Company: Ienergizer, Granada Date From: 10/2007 Date To: 04/2008 Description: EA/ SONY/ BIOWARE: Star Wars: Knight of Old Republic- Game based application Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a massive multiplayer role-playing game (MMORPG) video game by BioWare and Lucas Arts collaboration. My job as a leading team member to perform testing on different layers of the build like functional, regression, Smoke, BVT, Ad hoc, Frame rate, Graphic, System testing using V model methodology. Creation of test cases, checklists sending daily and weekly reports to manage includes bug reporting. A google search of iEnergizer reveals that it is a BPO based in Noida with offices abroad. I wonder if anyone here works for or has heard of iEnergizer. Thanks to the rumor stork for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Yup, Ienergizer is probably the most profitable gaming company in India. And that's because they don't make any end to end games. All of their work is outsourced. I think they even provide customer support from some of the biggest MMOs peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I wonder if anyone here works for or has heard of iEnergizer. Used to. I even got my name credited in a few games. It's a great working experience, but the pay is pretty meager even by BPO standards (unless you're working in a management position or something close to that). Practically anyone here at GI can get a job there, no contest. Also, 64 player FFOW matches ftw 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 There are few bigger one's. RelQ (now EDS) in Bangalore. They work with Midway, Atari, Namco Bandai, they earlier worked with Sega, Microsoft, Take 2, Gathering etc. It's quite an old business in India, I mean 3rd party game testing, I worked at RelQ in 2003 and there were guys who had completed 2 yrs already.

KeezNah Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Never got into the credits. sh*t, that blows dude even though I've moved towards QA from a developer's side, i feel experience accounts for everything. but companies shouldn't bark at letting a bunch of indian dudes' names into the credits. doesn't really hurt the product or anything, frankly speaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Ya, it stings a little. Especially, when you bust your a$$ for 4 frigging months on something like CS X. Nevertheless, it was an experience of lifetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posiedon Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Ienergizer is a pretty old company in QA Testing@ India...they have tested loads of MMO's....especially for Sony (EQ EQ2...etc)...and yeah they pay it pretty less as compared to other companies in the same field but they work on the biggest games (MMORPG's especially). BTW Keeznah which one of the names is yours in it? (Shashank Singh)? You worked with Kaushal Singh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 It's Vijay Sinha, and yeah, I've worked with Kaushal. Nice guy, generally quiet and cute to hang out with, but is actually a die-hard metal head in disguise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pisen Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 well game testing is not as boring as many people say... yes you have to have the game over and over again... and yes it gets repetitive.... but one can always make things interesting with improvising different things in the game..

KeezNah Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 hey keez... wassup.. Hey! What's up, man. You coming to BYOC this Saturday? Yeah, like Pisen said, game testing can be interesting in its own way. Trying to break intended functionalities and harness the power of exploitation can be very addictive.
