Valentin Homchenko, QA Engineer: “Test engineers must be engaged at an early stage of development”


We continue to introduce you to the people who are developing and improving IQeon. We are pleased to present you Valentin Homchenko, QA Engineer at IQeon!

Valentin joined the company in 2017, when a gaming platform was still being developed. He initially dealt with supporting IQeon communities. He works as a software test engineer and in charge of quality assurance of the company’s web-sites and platform’s games since 2019.

A disguised desire to crash the system and click where no one does, to find what no one can see, makes test engineers different. A QA engineer undertake various combinations of actions, repeating again and again with different devices, to carefully check a program and find as many bugs as possible, told Valentin.

According to the QA engineer, it is more complicated to test game products, as compared with websites. Web-projects usually have similar errors, and a test engineer can always access documentation and explore detailed description of the products functionality. There is a different situation in games. Errors can occur due to conflicts in code, and a correction leads to other errors. And sometimes it is impossible to predict that something goes wrong.

Testing each game has its own specificities. In browser games, specialists give much attention to the browsers work and note how tabs are loaded and scrolled, what screen resolution is used, how games are working with different extensions for a browser and so on. There are many factors that have an impact on product functionality. In mobile games, a test engineer looks for errors directly in a game, checks functionality and responses of a program to users’ actions.

There are two global trends that have impacts on development of gaming sphere. These are cross-platform and easier access to games. But the possibility to play one game at different platforms is good in theory. In practice, it leads to many errors, in particular, because of unstable internet connectivity. This problem is even noted for Google Stadia, told Valentin.

In the test engineer’s opinion, quality assurance of the product has to proceed in parallel with development or before this - at the documentation stage.

Test engineers must be engaged at an early stage of development. It allows to check the product logic in advance, carefully think users’ engagement experience through. Of course, it can’t completely rid you of errors. Bugs always happen. But it could significantly reduce the number of errors, concluded Valentin.

Vadim Minkin, Front-end Developer: “Development is a process of continual improvement”


We continue to introduce people who are developing and improving IQeon. We are pleased to present you front-end developer Vadim Minkin!

Vadim got engaged in programming after he completed specialized courses in software testing. Then, after getting interested in website layout, he delved into the development of web projects and studied JavaScript in addition to the basic HTML and CSS programming languages. Vadim’s portfolio contains a number of successful products among which the application for media resources, which is designed as the service allowing to create and build interactive content into a web structure.

At IQeon, Vadim is mainly involved in performance optimization of the gaming platform. The task is quite complex and affects not only the front-end, but also the back-end areas.

Vadim believes that the development does not end up with releasing the product. One of the key stages in the development of a project is its SEO optimization.

Optimization is much more than just “promoting your site to the top list”. It is crucial to ensure maximum representation of the product at the leading positions at the Internet request of potential buyers. According to the requirements of search engines, pages with faster loading speed are better indexed. This can be achieved by gradually improving product’s performance.”

The challenge of the task lies in the specific nature of the IQeon.com: it is a single-page application.

Optimizing a single-page application requires much more effort than working with a multi-page resource. The data on the platform is dynamic, it is constantly updated, that’s why it’s very important not to overload the site. For the user, operating with the web page should be as convenient as possible. To provide this “easy-to-use” feature, first of all, there is a need to create a simple and user-friendly interface so that the user can easily interact with the system. This will help him to avoid negative impressions and stay on the site.

Only within the last couple of months, thanks to Vadim’s work in the development team, the platfom productivity increased by 50%!

The professional goals set by the front-end developer are the continual improvement, both  of the product and personality. Vadim plans to study truly promising programming language – Python, and to deepen his knowledge in related fields, as for example, SEO.

Development is a process of continuous improvement. Often you have to come back and get something better, but this is how a really good product is created, thinks Vadim.

The next material about the IQeon team is coming soon! Follow the news on our platform and in the official Twitter community.
