Try and work out what is causing a problem.
Try to recreate the problem, recording the steps you took, check accessibility options.
Check for spelling mistakes.
You will also work closely with programmers, artists and designers before a game is released, and with customer support teams after
it is on the market.
Requirements:
No formal qualifications are required although a high standard of education and common sense is essential.
Basic knowledge of programming would be an advantage.
Database experience would be useful although not essential as training will be given.
A passion for playing computer games and an ability to play at high levels.
Good written and spoken communication skills.
