What are Qualifications for a video game testing career?

We Answered:

Ive had work experience (and gonna start my summer job) at a game designing company, they didn't give me much to do so they made me test games. Honestly like doug said it is so boring. They ahrdly give you any fun games to test and its really ****. Apparently the money isn't good and you will probably be bored easily. You should think logically before pursuing a career in this industry. Btw getting into a game designing company is very hard it is not what you know but who. I have taken 3 languages (chinese, french and spansih), graphic design and ICT at GCSE level but they didnt give a **** if i had or hadnt, the only reason i got in was i knew the owner. Hope this is helpful, any questions please ask.

We Answered:

There are a lot of responsibilities of a game tester. Not as glamorous as you see on movies and TV. It's also one of the best ways to get your foot in the door. Finding the gig isn't as easy as people think either, there are certain ways to approach companies and what not. Came across a good description of a game tester at http://getinmedia.com/careers/game-teste… it was pretty helpful

video game testing career?

We Answered:

Game testing is not a degree. To do this you have to have played every game since Donkey Kong, you have to be able to write clear and concise reports of bugs you find and to should be able to program games in at least one high level computer language, self taught by time you are 17 and likely have already written software for some games yourself.

Without the programming ability, you will be a video game store clerk.

To find out if you can make it as a professional video game player

Find the local state and regional tournaments in your game.
This is where the professionals are recruited from.
Play in them and you have to win, not 2nd, not 3rd, win.
Then you get the invite to play in the tournaments where you can get paid to win.

That will be the easiest way to know if you should investigate it as a career.

Do you have an Art pad and doodle your own characters? Do other people like your work?
If so, investigate art. 3d modeling, etc.

There are thousands of people that want to work in the Video Game Industry. Good Luck.

How would I get into a video game testing career?

We Answered:

Just contact different companies and put yourself out there.

It's immensely boring though. You're treated like crap, and all you do is walk in to EVERY...FREAKING....WALL...trying to find a glitch or play the same 30 seconds of gameplay over and over and over again...
