ABOUT STACEY

I’m Stacey Pace, a Senior QA Analyst with over 19 years of experience in cross-platform gaming and software testing. Based in Birmingham, UK, I’ve worked across console, desktop, and mobile platforms, collaborating with developers, designers, and stakeholders to deliver high-quality products that meet industry standards.While I have a strong background in first-party certification (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo), I’ve spent almost 7 years as an embedded tester in feature teams. This role has allowed me to directly influence the development process, ensuring testing is fully integrated, and product quality is improved at every stage. The ability to bring my compliance expertise into these teams has been a key reason I’ve been hired in previous roles.I’m experienced in streamlining testing processes, optimising workflows, and leading testing efforts to improve product quality and accelerate release timelines. I’m skilled in writing detailed test cases in Gherkin and TestRail, tracking bugs in Jira, and working within Agile and Scrum environments. My focus is on collaborating closely with development teams to identify potential issues early, reduce cycle times, and enhance the overall user experience.At NaturalMotion, I revamped the internal playtest program, improving attendance and the quality of reporting, which helped ensure issues were reproducible and easily addressed. I’m constantly adapting to new technologies, with hands-on experience in tools like Visual Studio and Postman.Outside of work, I enjoy digital illustration and modding games like Skyrim and Fallout 4.
