QA Engineer named 7 games that will help testers develop a QA mindset. Here is her selection

QA Engineer Anastasia Dyka has put together a selection of games that, in her opinion, can be useful for colleagues to improve their QA mindset.

«It’s obvious to everyone how important logic, attentiveness, the ability to notice nuances and ask the right questions are for QA (probably, this is important for many professions, but for QA it’s 100%). And there’s a cool way to pump this up in a lighter, more engaging format — through games,» she wrote on her LinkedIn page.

The expert emphasized that she included free games in her selection. Among them, in particular, the following:

CyberStart Go is a simulation of cybersecurity tasks that teaches logical thinking and attentiveness.

Cognitive Fun! — free tests and training for memory, attention, and logic (resembles «QA gymnastics»).

A Dark Room (browser) is a text game of logic and planning.

Untrusted is a text adventure game where you edit JavaScript code to complete a level.

CodeCombat is an RPG where you have to write code to move the hero.

World’s Biggest Pac-Man is a variation of the classic that trains quick decision-making and pattern recognition.

Chess puzzles — daily chess problems online. Ideal for attention, strategy, and error prediction.

According to Anastasia Dyka, such games can not only relieve the brain, but also train it. A significant number of IT users commented on her post and praised this selection, calling it useful.

Previously, Senior Quality Assurance Engineer Kateryna Krolevetska compiled a list of Telegram channels for QA that will help in work and development.

Anastasia Dyka, in turn, previously shared on LinkedIn her own selection of Ukrainian YouTube channels about testing, development, and IT in general.
