Sample answer
“While testing a mobile game at my internship with XYZ Studios, I encountered a bug where the game crashed when a player accessed the settings menu. I documented the steps to reproduce the bug, took screenshots, and created a detailed report in our issue tracking system. I reported it during our team meeting, and it was prioritized for a fix in the next update. After the fix, I verified that the issue was resolved, leading to a smoother user experience.”
