QA Process

QA stands for quality assurance which is a process that is used for checking video games for bugs, glitches or  errors which may cause the game to crash that can stop the shipping of the game or just be something that may cause very little problems. There are usually 3 ranks that bugs are used to estimate severity.
A bug are Critical bugs that can prevent the game being shipped such as causing crashes in the game.
B bugs are problems that need to be addressed the game can still be played but multiple b bugs can be the same as an A bug 
C Bugs are small and obscure problems which are normally just recommendations rather than bugs

Certain games feel like they don't have any QA such as red dead redemption but due to the nature of being able to update games alot of companies feel a little lazy in the QA department.
