QA And Test Automation Lead at Gamepad Tester

Runs automated input runs across desktop environments so a release does not break a test.

Tyler leads test automation. Before each change to the tools here goes live, his pipelines drive simulated inputs through the pages across multiple browsers and desktop environments and compare the readings against known-good baselines. It catches the regressions manual testing misses: a button index that shifts, an axis that stops updating, a layout that breaks at one viewport.

On Gamepad Tester he signs off releases of the test tools and handles the answers where the tool itself, rather than the controller, is behaving oddly.

Hands-On: Runs the automated regression suite that every change to these test tools passes before release.
