QAuDHD Weekly

By: David Jenkins
  • Summary

  • A weekly mini podcast detailing my experiences as a QA professional working in videogames, with both autism and ADHD. Each week I'll be discussing some neurodivergent-related topic followed by a games quality topic (which I always cover in exactly 500 words... mostly). These are based on my own experiences and opinions, research, discussions with other professionals and neurospicy individuals, and are intended to provide insight, guidance, thought provoking ideas and a little bit of venting for me!

  • QAuDHD #19 - That Could Have Gone One of Two Ways
    Sep 17 2024

    Happy Tuesday everyone! Sorry for the delay (I was ill)...


    This week's QAuDHD is all about planning, because as Jim always says, it's better to be pre-pre-pre-prepared! I'll be talking about my tendency to plan even mundane interactions ahead of time like I'm writing dialogue trees in an RPG, and the importance of conducting risk analysis as part of your test planning efforts.


    I hope you enjoy this week's issue and, as always: please share, drop in comments and let me know your thoughts/suggestions for future topics. Thank you for reading/listening! ❤️

  • QAuDHD #18 - Doth It Is My Birthday
    Sep 9 2024

    Happy Monday everyone!


    This week's QAuDHD includes a belated celebration of my own birthday (that's how bad I am at remembering these things), a few thoughts on the importance of finding your "tribe" and a long list of ways in which your game quality teams are probably adding value that you hadn't even realised!


    I hope you enjoy this week's issue and, as always: please share, drop in comments and let me know your thoughts/suggestions for future topics. Thank you for reading/listening! ❤️

  • QAuDHD #17 - How Would A Movie Increase Productivity?
    Aug 26 2024

    Good Monday everyone!


    In this week's QAuDHD I'll be talking about the importance of downing tools taking some time for yourself (and why that's a concept that many of us spicy-brained folk struggle with), and also explaining (because apparently it's still something some people don't understand) why "cruch" is bad!


    I hope you enjoy this week's issue and, as always: please share, drop in comments and let me know your thoughts/suggestions for future topics. Thank you for reading/listening! ❤️
