What is a SIG?
A special interest group (SIG) is a community centered on a topic of interest relevant to game development. SIGs connect developers allowing them to learn from each other, promote their specialties, identify upcoming challenges and endeavor to advance the industry.

SIGs are volunteer managed and driven. While the IGDA provides the basic resources and infrastructure to establish and maintain SIGs, each SIG is a relatively autonomous self-sustaining community.

Why a Quality Assurance SIG?
Quality Assurance continues to be a left out, forgotten element of game development that is actually very crucial to the whole process. Quality Assurance often is an understudied, underprovided field that lacks a cohesive community and tools to help create greatness.

What's the goal of the QA SIG?
To elevate the awareness of QA as part of the development process, improve and standardize QA practices, create a community for QA people (or those responsible for getting QA into the game creation process) to get together and work out the issues that affect them most.

Who can be in the QA SIG?
QA, QA Managers, Producers, Liaisons between QAs in the often seen developer/publisher or multiple-developer projects, and in general anyone interested in the QA process. We'd also love to hear from academics and those studying Quality Assurance in other industries.
