Game Testing: Reasons To Do This Job

By Jenny Bateman


Most of us will have few difficulties thinking up reasons for why we might want to become a game tester. This is one of the best jobs in the world but many are not convinced of this fact; below are some reasons that might change your mind.

Everyone would love to be able to get paid for doing something that they love. If you had a job testing games then you really would never be working at all because it would be all about playing. Those who love their job are always more productive and will be much more willing to put in extra effort. With so much passion you can't wait to get out of bed in the morning so you can start working.

Game testing means that you can get to work on the latest games long before anyone else has a chance to see them. And the fact that you have played a role in getting these new games onto the shelves is something to be proud of. Game testing is a vital part of quality control so you will be an important cog in the wheel of game development.

Testing games is a great way to get your foot in the door of the industry. Once you have made a few contacts you will more easily be able to move your way into programming or graphic design.

This is a profession where you can make plenty of money. Although the payment can be low initially, once you build a name for yourself, you will start to earn much more.

If you work as a freelance tester you can more or less set your own hours. It is possible to do so much more in your life if your working hours are flexible. So long as the work gets done nobody cares.
