Hey folks, I am a game tester at a well-renowned gaming company. I have been at the company for 4 years now and frankly, we do basic game testing, no coding skills or any extravagant tools. I can’t continue as a game tester forever, cause the pay is not great.
If I had to jump fresh into the field of QA testing what would I need to do/learn?
Would it be good if I did a master’s/diploma/course in any thing related?
The only advantage I see is the role designation at the current company is QA tester and even though we have no skills of a conventional QA tester I could leverage my experience backed with a newly learnt QA skill set. This way I think I can cross the first barrier of experience that most companies demand.
FYI I have no prior experience with code and I am not from a CS background.
Please help as I am at a pivotal stage in my career!
