Video Game Tester

Testers: more formally called "Analysts", these are the rank-and-file workers of varying commitment and skill who are expected to test whatever game they are assigned to. Testers may be assigned to a single game during its entire production, or they may be shuffled around or temporarily brought onto other projects as demanded by the department's schedule and specific needs. They report directly to the lead or assistant lead for any game-related issues, but still go to their supervisors for more general issues concerning employment. Regular testers usually have minimal database permissions, with the ability to add bug reports that must be approved by a lead.
