Computer Game Testing Training Many people who want to get into computer game testing ask about formal training. While it may not be necessary to always have training when doing video game testing, for computer games, it certainly helps. This is due to the fact that computer game testing is often more rigorous. There are more types of input you can do in a computer game, while console gaming is more limited.

Majoring in Computer Programming

The main way of training in computer game testing is to get a degree in computer science, specifically in computer programming or game  programming. There are only a handful of universities that actually have a program focused on computer game programming. However, you will learn about program testing in almost all programming courses, and the methods you learn will certainly be applicable to computer games.

If you do decide to enroll in a program that specifically focuses on computer game programming, you may actually have an entire course dedicated to game testing. In this course, you'll learn the many different ways of testing games, techniques to use during testing, and how to compile a testing report.

How to Test Computer Games?

The main focus of training in computer game testing is in learning all the various methods you can use to crash programs. It might sound a little odd at first, but basically, you want to set out to break the computer game. Console video games don't crash that often, mainly because it's harder to give illegal inputs. With a computer game, however, you have mouse input, keyboard input, and maybe even some other types of input. Sometimes, clicking on something or hitting a specific combination of keys can easily crash a computer game. You will need to try as many different types of input as you can while you're testing computer games to see what happens.
