RarityGuide: What do you do in Star Trek Online?
John: I work in the QA Department. Go through reported bugs, document errors, make sure they are fixed.
RG: How is Beta going? You getting many reports of new bugs?
John: We are, many of them we already know about because we have already found them and are working on fixing them.
RG: How many outstanding bugs are there?
John: The team has been doing a very good work in fixing all the bugs. I would say 90% of the documented bugs have been fixed.
RG: Any major bugs left? Like something that would prevent the game from launching on schedule?
John: No, nothing major.
RG: Did you work in QA for Champions Online as well?
John: Yes.
RG: Compared to the state Champions Online was 2 weeks before launching, how does Star Trek Online look in term of bugs and stability?
John: Star Trek Online is in a much better shape then what champions online was the same time before launch.
