How do you become a video game tester?
I love video games. I practically live on them and I would love to test them for a living, would be so cool. How do I go about getting a job as a video game tester?
admin answers:
Build your resume by testing small games for the Web. These games might not be as exciting as working on the latest XBox title, but they can help build your experience to jump to that level of testing. Don’t expect to get paid much, if at all, for these small games. But you will definitely get paid.
Don’t look for advertised QA positions. The game companies constantly receive so many unsolicited applications that they don’t have to spend money on advertisements for QA jobs. Just go ahead and send your résumé in. If you can’t find a way to apply via the company’s online jobs page, just go ahead and email your résumé to “jobs@” the company’s website domain.
You can also snailmail your résumé, but that’s not as good (they can’t just put your résumé into the computer folder, they have to make a paper folder, and as weird as this sounds, that’s not as convenient for them).

Donna asks…
Can i become a game tester from my own home?
I wont to become a game tester in my own home looking for glitches or any anomalies that you would encounter from a game.Is there anyway you could report back to a developer via typing up an analysis? any suggestions please.
admin answers:
No. That is not how game testing works, usually because at the time a game needs testing, it’s not in a format playable on any equipment you would have (it wouldn’t work on a console for instance).
Leting people test from home would also be a major security risk for a games developer, because any home tester could secretly make copies of the game at that stage, and then the whole project is ruined before it even gets released.
