What is entry level game testing?

Entry level game testing is a position in the video game industry where individuals play games in development to identify bugs, glitches, and other issues before the game is released to the public. Game testers provide feedback to developers about gameplay, usability, and technical problems. This role typically requires attention to detail, basic documentation skills, and a passion for gaming, but usually does not require advanced technical knowledge or previous experience. Entry level testers often work as part of a quality assurance (QA) team, gaining experience that can lead to more advanced roles in game development or QA.

What is the difference between Entry Level Game Testing vs Quality Assurance Tester?

Entry Level Game Testing involves playing games to find bugs, focusing on gameplay issues. Quality Assurance Tester has a broader scope, including testing software quality across various aspects. Both roles require attention to detail and basic technical skills, but QA testers often handle more comprehensive testing processes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Entry Level Game Tester, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Entry Level Game Tester, you need a keen attention to detail, basic understanding of software or game development, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with bug tracking systems, test case management tools, and various gaming platforms is commonly required. Strong problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and teamwork help testers effectively report issues and collaborate with developers. These skills ensure accurate identification and documentation of bugs, leading to higher quality games and smoother player experiences.

What are some typical challenges faced by entry level game testers, and how can they overcome them?

Entry level game testers often encounter repetitive tasks, tight deadlines, and the need to clearly document bugs and issues. Adapting to rapidly changing project requirements and learning to communicate effectively with developers and other testers are common challenges. Overcoming these hurdles involves staying organized, developing strong attention to detail, and being proactive in asking questions or seeking clarification. Building good relationships within the team and continuously improving technical and communication skills can also help testers excel and open up opportunities for advancement.

Job description

About us

We’re helping a diverse mix of customers—from mom-and-pop operations to companies with thousands of trucks —improve how they communicate with their drivers by tackling information overload, reducing phone calls, and eliminating obsolete technologies.

We have offices located in downtown Greenville and downtown Clemson. 

We began life as a bootstrapped software startup, and have always been focused on building products our customers love. Today, we're part of the Knight-Swift family of companies, (Knight-Swift is a Fortune 500 company) which has allowed us to keep our focus on building world-class software products for the transportation industry. 

Eleos is hiring several new teammates to test our mobile and web software products at our Clemson office.  The individual we want to hire will make few assumptions, take little for granted, and “measure twice and cut once”. If testing and trying to break what our awesome developers create sounds interesting to you, then please keep reading. If you are bored reading this already, then you’re probably not a good fit.

You will join a fun crew in Clemson, who works hard and enjoys a fierce ping-pong game in the office. You will be expected to be tough on our products  and critical of system issues, but incredibly pleasant with your teammates. Assuring the quality of our products is very important to us as a fast-growing company.

If you don't already know how to test code or follow test plans, that's perfectly okay. For this position, we are excited to help you learn by providing you on-the-job training!

You might be a good fit for this role and our company if you say, “that’s me!” to each of the following:
• I cannot ignore mistakes. I understand that not everyone defines "mistake" the same way... but still, I cannot ignore a mistake.
• There is right and there is wrong.
• I think work can be "wrong" without thinking that the person who did that work is "wrong."
• People ask me to proofread because they know I will catch everything that might even be considered to be an error.
If you have actually done any of the following, even for a school project, please tell us:
• Software or system testing
• Software development of any kind
• Writing documentation of any kind

In Summary: 
This Software Tester is responsible for testing our mobile and web applications by executing test cases and clearly documenting the results of testing. This position works collaboratively with other testers and developers.
Minimum Skills and Competencies:
  • Strong work ethic with documented work history
  • Must provide your own laptop and be proficient at using it
  • Must possess effective verbal and written communication skills
  • Must have strong attention for detail
  • Must have strong analytical skills with the ability to interact with development team
  • Ability to escalate issues appropriately
  • Be able to work as a 1099 (contractor)
  • Be able to work part-time with the potential for more hours and the opportunity to use our Clemson office
Primary Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Follow detailed steps towards the accurate and efficient execution of assigned test cases
  • Provide input on improvement opportunities for test cases
  • Ability to learn and understand and follow established QA procedures
  • Quickly learn and understand how the programs, products, and systems we use interact
  • Provide detailed written documentation when results of testing differ from expected outcome
  • Be able to follow up with the development team on defect status
  • Contribute to a positive work environment fostering the values of initiative and accountability
Desired Skills:
  • Be able to pick up new technology and concepts quickly
  • Be passionate about quality and technology
  • Have a knack at finding edge cases, bugs, flaws, gaps etc. in systems, programs, and processes
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to establish working relationships with individuals at varying levels within the organization
  • Effective organization and time management skills with the ability to work under pressure and adhere to deadlines
