Always dreamed of testing games or applications? Then send us your information and we'll contact you when we have something that fits both your user level and hardware setup.
By the way, there are several sites out there advertising that you can make a living testing games from home, and need only a monthly subscription fee or one time payment for their "information". We do not advise using these services, as we have never found the information to be useful enough to actually secure a paid position with any company. Be wary of these scams.
In all actuality, testing any application requires diligence and an eye for attention to details. It also requires note taking and documentation in a way that explains clearly to the programmers what happened with the application, under what conditions it can be reproduced, and the exact steps to determine it's frequency and severity. While that sounds pretty fast and easy, it often can be quite difficult to put into words precisely what is needed by the programming team.
Bugs also have to be found quickly. A bug found a week after the game ships is a missed opportunity to make the game even better, and can damage sales efforts. This means testers must be available on short notice and turn around reports very quickly.
Feel free to send us your information and we'll keep it on file against a future test. Send your complete contact information and a system profile to info at alphabetas.com
