Because if you don’t know what you are going in for, then it’s likely you won’t do the job well. So read on, and discover for yourself what you would do when you become a video game tester.

Responsibilities of a video game tester
Video game testing is a kind of quality control done to ensure that high quality games are distributed into the market. Quality control, on its own, simply means the act of confirming the quality of products by passing out samples. Your job as a video game tester is to test samples and view your opinion where there should be adjustment, especially in the areas of bugs, art glitches and logic errors. If this looks difficult, there is another type of video game testing which is called beta testing. This type requires little or no experience, as long as you play video games, you will be able to tackle it smoothly.

The main role of a video game tester is to detect bugs. If you can easily recognize bugs while playing video games, you won’t find this job difficult to do.

How the job is done
It varies depending on the kind of testing. If its computer games, it done on the internet but it’s the usual video game, it can be done at home or at a place the company specifies for you. When you receive samples of video game to test, it comes with a manual which describes what it’s expected of you to deliver after playing the game. It’s in the form of an application form which has spaces to jot your opinion on levels. You either write down your observation as you play or write after playing the games, but its better to have a jotter beside you to write down some certain things to help to easily recollect when filling the company’s main form. I suggest you play the game 3 or more time before writing down your opinion. As you play, watch out for bugs or glitches because that’s the main purpose of the testing. When you’ve finished making a report, proofread read the report to make sure that there are no spelling and grammar errors.
