Game Testing: Is It Possible To Make A Career Of This?

By Sakis Mavromatis


There are many who will view game testing as not really a proper job. A job where you get paid to play games all day is something that a lot of people find hard to comprehend and they are not sure that there can be any future at all in this kind of job. These views about game testing are held by those who know little about the profession. These people have no idea that game testing is in fact a great career and it is something that could make those who do it, quite well off.

Game Testing And How It Is Possible For This To Be A Career

Below are a number of reasons why a career in game testing is a possibility for many people-

- If you look at gaming over the last few decades it is easy to see how popular it has become and how this is a trend that is set to continue for quite some time. Game testers will continue to be required for as long as there are people out there who want to play these games.

- If a game tester is good, then they will be highly skilled and this is something that is in huge demand. These are people who not only know how to test games but also how to document their findings in technical reports. Game testing really does involve more than just game playing.

- Game developers must be prepared to spend money on quality control because if they don't they could stand to lose quite a bit of money: the gaming industry is worth millions after all. Game testing is a fundamental part of quality control.

- The game testing jobs will usually be given to those game testers who have worked to build up a good reputation. The work will be much easier to come by if you establish a name for yourself in this industry. Only those starting out as a game tester will find it difficult to come by work.
