I want to tell you about game tester job.

Being a video game


tester is often compared to a dream job. Many people
imagine it like this: you sit and play games all day, and in
addition you get money for it. But this profession is not as
simple as it may seem. Working as a tester requires a lot
more than simply playing a video game. And even if you
think that you are a great player, without special knowledge it
is impossible to take a great test, as required by the
employer.
● Although this profession does not require education, many future
testers take this career step to work more successfully.In this
project we will understand the details of such work and learn
more about the career of a testing specialist and what knowledge
is needed for this.
● What does a video game tester do?

Game testing is a required job for video game companies. Testing is


needed to make sure that the finished product is free of “bugs,” “glitches,”
and other programming errors. Only after this the game can be presented
to players and buyers.
A game tester must check all possible actions in the game to find errors. Each
of the errors indicates that there is a problem with programming, and there are
many such errors. For example, if the game character suddenly gets stuck
during the game, without the ability to move further, or the animation does not
display correctly. There can be a million such errors, from small to quite
serious, making the game difficult. And it is thanks to testers that many games
presented to users are released with no bugs.
While working, you need to try to use the game in all sorts of ways, even
taking actions that a user would never use. This task is quite hard, but it
is a necessary requirement for a tester. He is also required to have
matrix tests, which are important for fighting games, for example, Mortal
Kombat
