Introduction

This internship is the second I’ve had during my Bachelor. It allowed me to experience work in a French Tech start-up. My first experience in QA at Scavengers, my will to discover and learn, and being autonomous made me get this internship. I’ve joined a small team of 3 people, lead by Ambroise Lamure, among 80 other employees.

Gained Experiences

As I started my first day, my QA Lead immediately gave me a project that lasted the entire internship: the « Download to Go » feature. The objective was to ensure the quality of this feature that several different teams were working on. This feature was designed to be deployed on all devices, apart from Smart TVs (Android, iOS, macOS and Windows). Although, considering the workload building this feature, it wasn’t finished as my internship was completed.

Simultaneously, I’ve had temporary responsibilities on others projects, such as the Parental Control feature, monetization, and the app’s port on new devices. As this internship was happening during summer, I’ve been QA Lead during 10 working days in late August, as my coworkers were in vacation. My tasks during this time were to prioritize testing phases, update the tracking documents and Jira, and setup the newly received testing devices.

Even though I’ve encountered a few difficulties, my work environment was healthy. As I was working with all teams (Front-End & Back-End developers, UX designers, Product Managers…), I’ve learned and applied new work methods, SCRUM and KANBAN for instance. The softwares that I’ve used weren’t new to me, but the platforms that we were working on definitely were, as I’ve experienced QA testing on smartphones and Smart TVs.
