The game industry is growing rapidly, and millions of gamers will not forgive the developers of their favorite game if something goes wrong in it. At best, they will simply lose interest in it, and at worst, they will make it “anti-advertisement” among their friends.

With testing, you can check if the game works correctly on all popular platforms and devices. The tester will have to check the game for bugs, flaws and other problems, and draw everything into a corresponding report for the developers with suggestions for fixing flaws. All changes urgently need to be made before the official release of the game. Otherwise it’s a shame.

Is that all rosy in the profession tester?

If you think that in the position tester you will play all day long, having fun, and even money, then immediately remove the “rose-colored glasses. According to employees who recruit for the department of game testing, these gamers immediately after the interview are sent home to play more.

The work tester pretty complicated and routine. The working day of the representative of this profession is often reduced to the repetition of the same actions. Check the serviceability of various elements of the interface on different screens, the correctness of entering and exiting the game, voice acting, etc. After that all the results are recorded in a special checklist.

As you can imagine, this job may not seem like a dream come true for everyone. Most likely, you’ll have to go through a particular section of the game “under a microscope” for days on end, replaying all the options over and over again and testing everything that comes up in that section. And so for days, months, weeks… And imagine if the game you are testing is designed for children from 4 years?

For the most resistant, who have not yet run off to look for another way forward, I’ll tell you about the benefits and how to become a tester of games after all.
