Familiarity with documenting results succinctly in a spreadsheet is helpful. General knowledge of the functionality of the system you will be testing the software on (Xbox, PS4, Computer, Mac, Mobile Phone, etc) is also very helpful.

Question

What education do I need to become a beta tester?

Community Answer

You just have to be able to read and write well and clearly. Your education level would not directly impact your ability to be a gaming beta tester. I have known many testers who were still in elementary and high schools, not just college students or people with degrees.

Question

How do you become a beta tester without a dvd drive?

Community Answer

Test something other than a DVD drive. Very few software products (none?) are tested on a DVD drive.
