The new video games take from one to three years to be developed fully and the video game tester doesn’t come into the testing until the game is almost done because there is nothing to test until the game is completely finished.

Being a video game tester consists of playing the video games to make sure there are no errors and if there are errors, level bugs, glitches or logic bugs you record them so you can report them to the game industry.

You will also have to test the video games disc for durability. Once you have reported all errors to the video game industry then you will be testing the video games again later to see if they really fixed it properly.
