Xbox 360 Testing Reports

You might be wondering what reporting is, and it's not exactly the same thing we commonly think of when we say the word reporter, such as a news reporter. To be more precise it is the act of filling out reports and in this case bug or glitch reports. If you are going to work independently outside of an office or work in your own home then your main communication to developers and companies will be through these reports. The report will consist of a walkthrough of bugs you found in your given area or the whole game depending on how much of the game the company gave you to test through. The report must give a description of the bug, glitch or problem using proper terminology and gaming lingo. Following the description you must tell how to recreate the given problem so developers can quickly find and fix it. If no recreation process is given then you are wasting the developers time and most of these request will become void.

In some cases you do not need to fill out a description on how to fix a certain bug. If you found something in the level design or geometry just tell where you found said problem.

A lot of the time you will be given a method to describe these occurrences, which makes your job much easier. After you are finished with a game, you will get your money soon after, most of the time by a check. In order to receive more games to test you need to stay in contact with these Xbox 360 developers. When you signup you will learn a lot more about this so don't feel overwhelmed.
