A video game tester makes sure a video game is user-friendly and bug-free before it's released. A QA tester determines any technical issues, while playtesters focus more on providing feedback for user experience and playability. Video game testers are often assigned specific aspects of a game to test, sharing their findings via detailed reports that flag any errors or issues.
This QA game tester course includes three weeks of fast-tracked training with CG Spectrum and will include ISTQB Foundations Level, ISTQB Certified Agile Tester, and a week focused on project/soft skills development. All certification exams will be included. This training is provided at no cost for all pre-apprentices!
