Fictional practice, not an employer interview question.
Imagine a change improves average session performance but produces severe frame-time spikes on a lower-resource configuration. Define the supported test conditions in the exercise and distinguish average speed from consistency. Keep visual complexity and measurement conditions explicit.
Work through the case
Build or write this
Prepare a reproducible performance note or production review. Engineers can profile a bounded scene; artists can show asset tradeoffs; producers can sequence testing and triage; designers can explain which interactions are harmed by the spikes.
Stress-test the decision
The recommendation should identify an acceptable compromise and a release-blocking condition. Explain why a smooth highlight reel is insufficient evidence and how you would document unresolved risks for the next discipline.
Turn the exercise into application evidence
Use only your own work, public material or an authorized sandbox. Write the problem, your decision, the test and the limitation in a short case study. A diagram or a focused analysis is acceptable when code is not relevant to the role. Do not claim the exercise reproduces the employer's systems or guarantees an interview.
Prepare your application
For Electronic Arts, name the studio, discipline and kind of work you are pursuing. Programming, art, design, production and commercial roles require different portfolios. Show a small, complete contribution with constraints and feedback rather than presenting an entire game without explaining what you personally made.
