Hi @iiBullFrog
Alpha Tests or better called like "Closed-Alpha tests" are basically invite only.
And EA/DICE decide which people they think are good ones to invite to those.
For sure usually it's long time Battlefield veterans, but + they look for Battlefield players which are big and well known on Social media too for their Battlefield content.
So for Alpha Testing itself to get chosen for sure, you can't really apply for that.
This last technical test for BF 2042 tho, wasn't really an Alpha, but also this one was invite only. But in this case they chose not only the usual players, this time they chose a bigger spread player base. Chosen from all those that were signed up for the EA Community Playtesting and had well set preferences like (what type of games you play, what platform your on, how much you play, ect.)
So in general for your question, there isn't a straight way how to become a Alpha/Closed-Alpha tester.
But for a chance to maybe get involved in any playtests make sure to be registered here: (two types of playtests)
