Many people who are into videogames are wondering how to become a video game tester, especially when it comes to their favorite online game like World of Warcraft, Guildwars or Warhammer Online. The feeling of being the first to test the new developments of the game is unthinkable, especially when you have high regards for the game itself. Becoming a video game tester is easy as signing up for the job. However, there are countless other people who are also interested in signing up to be a beta tester. So chances of being picked might be slim. Those who signed up for beta testing have to undergo a screening process.

It is also important to follow-up your application because you might be one of the few who got picked.
