You can not get a video game testing job by searching for one at your local classified site. The fact is that video game testing firms do not advertise vacant positions for a video game tester on newspapers. This is because they believe if they do so they are going to get a lot of application from ordinary people looking to test games for fun, rather than taking them seriously. You need to actually make contacts with developers. I believe that getting in touch with developers is not easy but it is possible, so I urge you to give it a try. Ask around and meet a developer, tell him about your interest of wanting to become a video game tester. Convince him with the reasons on why you are going to make a good testing job. Let him know of the games you have played, the consoles you own and the amount of years you have been playing video games and the types of games you play. If you have ever discovered any bug while plying video games, let him know about it.

I guess you know the role of a video game tester. The role of a game tester is to detect bugs in pre-released games before they are sent into the market. It is not an easy job but you can become one if you put more effort into it. It could be fun too due to it has many benefits of its own. You will be paid compensation for any bug you detect in the games you test in addition to the initial salary you are paid.

Once you land a testing job, do not waste your time on the assignment given to you. It is likely that you will test them at home or their studio. Re-test the games twice, if possible thrice to see that you are not leaving any bug behind. After you are through with it, write what you discovered in a report and send it to the developer that assigned you the testing job. Remember to crosscheck the report before sending them back to the developer. Time is money, so don’t waste time on any game you are given to test. Video game testing is a professional job, so you should treat it as one. Luckily, your testing will impress them and you would get more testing. The payment is okay but the more experience you gather; the more you will be paid. Payment is made through check and it s done bi-weekly.

Different kinds of hardware have their different levels of importance, but before we delve into the types we need to first look at the term itself and understand what it means. Computer hardware simply put is the physical component of the computer. For you to be able to be reading this right now means that your computer has the physical components required for the software or programmes to work.

We will discuss briefly some of the different kinds of hardware that you will most commonly encounter such as:

o The Circuit Board or Mother Board: This is where the main processor of your computer is located and it is on this component that most other hardware feed off.

o The Hard drive: This is your computer store house, so in other words this is where the data that helps your computer to function properly are kept. Data that you generate as you use your computer are also stored here.

o The Cd/Dvd Drive: This is also another kind of storage facility that supports a different kind of data and storage type.

o The Cooling fan: This is often times located on the top of your mother board/circuit board, and just as the name suggests serves as a coolant. When your computer is on it generates heat just like the engine of your car and it is this cooling fan that is tasked with making sure the computer does not get over heated.

o The Memory Chip: This is yet again another part of your computer brain that handles information stores information needed for the proper functioning of your computer. This also supports the general speed of your computer…so a small memory means a slow computer.

o Keyboard & Mouse: This is the component of your computer that helps you with the input of data (such as typing) and navigation. So in other words this is the means for communicating with your computer.

Listed above are some of the different kinds of hardware that you are likely to encounter more often, but there are lots of other hardware that might not be directly a part of your computer but is used along side your computer and attached by means of an external source. So if you do not have proper computer hardware you will naturally find it impossible to install software or run a program on your computer.

Optimum performance of your computer is dependent on the type of hardware you are using. These different kinds of hardware affect affects the computer in diverse ways, but the circuit board has the most influence on the speed of your computer…why? Because like I mentioned earlier the other components mostly feed off the circuit board so if the circuit is rubbish there is a tendency for your computer output to be rubbish.

Most computer hardware can be upgraded as individual components, which means if for instance you notice that your storage space is getting smaller you can purchase an extra hard drive to back up the first one or you can completely change the hard drive for another.
