With the ability to experience virtual and augmented reality using mobile devices on the horizon, the potential for these new technologies to go mainstream is huge. New test environments, configurations, and interfaces will require testers to change their methods, so get out of your comfort zone—and your office chairs!
BJ Aberle has been Float’s quality assurance lead for six years. Originally hired in 2003 as the director of audio for multimedia projects, the journey into game and procedural audio introduced him to the world of code and development. BJ found that testing and QA allowed him to use those skills to bring new value to the organization. Since no two projects at Float are the same, he wears many QA hats and morphs many roles into one—automation engineer, manual tester, agile test coach—depending on the need at any given time. When he’s not wrestling with flaky UI tests, BJ enjoys creating music in his studio and spending time with his wife and three daughters.
