The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment for software developers, including testers, will grow by 22 percent, much faster than the average for all careers, through 2029. The push toward pre-market perfection will help to keep the video game testing profession strong. To stay competitive, companies are refining their procedures to ever-higher levels. In addition, the coronavirus pandemic, with subsequent lock-downs and more people working from home, has increased demand for computer and video games. As a result, the video game industry has experienced tremendous growth in sales and revenue in 2020. Steady growth is expected to continue growing in the years to come, offering more employment opportunities for experienced video game testers.
