Good tester should show in that several aspects of the games and how samples should be tested? I see and understand more the next, and simply talk about my feelings and experience, could I issue a Beta Key!
The following is just my opinion, the test should do.

First, test the quality of personnel (possibly ideal)

2 familiar with the game's content, features and development process.

3 familiar with the game of the value of the value of strong interest.
4 understand the basic operating process of the game, understand the market changes, to understand the basic game of the promotion process.
5 notes have to keep records of work habits, good patience and do not weary the spirit of non-dependents (the spirit of professional players).

Second, the game's scope and process of product testing
