Jira & the games industry - QA - learning?

[Jody]

Can anyone recommend some

Jira learning material to upskill and be ready for QA positions within the games industry?

e.g

How to write a bug report

How to write a test plan

How to use Jira within a QA team

cheers :-)

Hi @Jody welcome to the Atlassian Community! 

Your question is quite broad but for Jira specifically, the Atlassian enablement academy is quite good. 

You can start with  https://university.atlassian.com/student/path/815443-jira-fundamentals

This will provide you with the basic Jira knowledge you need to move forward (if you don't have it already) and its free, some trainings are and some are not but all basic essential training appears to be free at the moment. 

I would also recommend creating a free test Jira Software Cloud instance for yourself (think of it as a personal playground to experiment with). 

Best of luck! 

Kind Regards, 

Ash

Thanks Ash

The games industry use Jira for their QA testing, I want to learn Jira while testing a game but finding it difficult to locate some learning material to interlink both, I need to upskill and be able to show this on my CV when applying for QA testing.

I will make use of the link you sent me, most appreciated :-)

Hi, 

When using Jira for a QA context, you might need an app like Xray. 

Xray makes available for free several learning resources, like the Xray Academy. 

You can also check a customer story from the gaming industry:

 Hope it helps!

Hello

[NHM School]

The gaming industry utilizes Jira for QA testing, and I am eager to acquire proficiency in Jira while simultaneously testing games. However, I am facing difficulty in discovering learning materials that effectively integrate both aspects. My goal is to enhance my skills and be able to showcase this expertise on my CV when applying for QA testing positions. We have help our friends to design apps like scarlet.
