Being a professional video game tester is a dream job. The following tips should help you get started with a career in professional video game testing.

You have to keep in mind that developers pay video game testers as part of a job. They are not paying testers to merely enjoy video games at their own expense. The biggest part of being a professional video game tester is knowing the golden rule; which is “You are paid to test games, not to play them.” The questionnaires are the easier part of game testing, as all the video game tester has to do is answer some general questions about the game and give his/her honest opinion. Every video game goes through this basic cycle, which is precisely why video game testers are so vital to the gaming industry.

Networking is a crucial part of professional video game testing. Anyone that spends time around video games (professionally, of course) can be included in your network; game testers, developers, programmers, concept artists, art designers, graphics designers, technical support specialists, audio specialists, etc.
