The Challenge Ahead

Quality Analysts at EA are deeply embedded in development and are responsible for testing, documenting and analyzing the game during production.

Above all, Quality Analysts must be avid games players. They must be able to demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the industry, including the different platforms, game styles, and genres. It’s important to know the market so they can evaluate our games against the competition.
