I found out that most of the school say GRE Computer Science test is "highly recommanded" though it is not compulsory.
Most applicants, including most accepted applicants, don't take the exam, even at some top schools like UT Austin.

Assuming you have met the course prerequisites for most of the MSCS programs you would be applying to (which seems to be the case), then there is no need to take the exam.

(If you wanted to boost your profile, your time may be better spent working on a 2-page poster paper for a IEEE/ACM conference.)

So, at least for now, I would probably just focus on the general GRE given that you are working full-time. Then, you may just want to focus on working on your statement of purpose, which some people tend to underestimate the importance of.
