Pango Build Park is a children's mobile game by Pango Studio, focused on free play and creativity in a small park-building sandbox. I joined the team as QA Tester for a short engagement to support the title's launch readiness.

QA on a kids' title

Testing software meant for young children means thinking about every possible misuse. Kids don't follow the happy path. They tap everywhere, hold buttons forever, rotate the device mid-action, and quit the app at the worst possible time. My job was to find every one of those edge cases before they shipped.

Structured bug reporting

I learned to write proper bug reports during this stint: clear repro steps, expected versus observed behavior, device and OS context, severity tagging. Developers don't have time to guess what you meant. The faster a bug can be reproduced, the faster it gets fixed.

QA is where I learned to write for the people who ship. A good bug report is a small act of design itself: precise, useful, and respectful of the reader's time.
