Game testing

[GAMEMASTERCHAN]

Hello everyone its been awhile since I have been on the forums, but I had a questions. I have recently been looking into trying to become a game tester, but internet sources haven't really brought much information on the subject. I was hoping someone here on battleforums would know any useful info one the subject.

the highest education lvl you need in this field is just Highschool.

Call up developers is best option i think.

Screw Game testing. Try doing Game Development.

So that way, if you can't test, you can still score something in developing something cool.

What a shitty job. Developing a game is so much more worthwhile.

Testing a game isn't about playing a game though just so you know. You have to repeat the same thing over and over to try and break the game as hard as possible and write reports so they can fx problems. what a shitty job.

Ya I know what the job is. And I dont have much experience in development.

Which is why you go to College/University to get a Diploma/Degree in Game Development. It is a component in Computer Programming.

I have taken 4 courses in my Computer Programming on Game Development (2 for modeling, 2 for coding). And I used that to help my Software Development.

Doesn't mean you can't do it .
