Myths of Game testing.

1) You just play around, nothing technical!
Fact: While testing games, it is important to know what logic the developer has used which in turn helps you to find an unusual sequence.

2) You get to play games before it is released!
Fact: Its true that you get to play it before release but the amount of time spent to test the game really makes you sick about the game and sometimes even to hate the game

3) You have lot of fun while testing!
Fact: Though you would feel good about it initially but, would you have fun circling round a same F1 circuit for 100 times! No right!

4) You get paid for playing games!
Fact: You spend most of the time creating test documents, logging defects, regressing defects, testing with localization, testing in different devices.. the list will go on!

5) You can change whatever you want in game!
Fact: This is not true at all! Even if you feel that certain features are required for easy gameplay your ideas would either be rejected by development team because of time constraint or by customer if he feels it is not so cool!
