It's a very long career to get into. First you need to apply for a job at Winky Wonka's toy factory (Willie's brother) making cabbage patch kids 8 hours a day, and then one day you get promoted, and only have to make the dolls for 4 hours a day, but you need to listen to rejected movie scripts (read by Kathy Griffin) for the other 4 hours. Then, one day, you get the call. Promoted again. This time you're needed in Venezuela, and now you're making cheap designer sunglasses to be exported to Alaska. After 6 months, you're allowed to move back to your home and live on food stamps for 2 months and 3 days, and after all that has passed, THEN you are qualified to become a tester.

You must know someone who helped create the game, or know someone who knows someone who created a game, If extrbeta keys are givin out, Unless it is a public beta, then it is open to everyone.

Well it really depends, most games that have betas open to the public have some sort of sig up process and you are selected. Recently this happened with one of the new Tom Clancy games and I think maybe COD4 had one, also BF:BC had one as well. There was also the Halo 3 beta which required you to buy Crackdown to download the beta and participate. For MGS4 if you pre-ordered the game you got a special key number so you could beta test. These normally happen with the more popular games and it's basically online play, if you were asking about being an actual tester for a game in development as in playing the single player and all it gets a lot more complicated. Just do some research over the net and Im sure most questions will be answered.
