The main occupation of the early stages of testing to prepare for the long climb to conquer the peak of the test. The best advice I can give is to think from two aspects. For each project you are involved, there is the task of two parts (not necessarily equal). The first part of the task is to ensure that the current test project a success. The second part of the task is to learn what you should do in order to make the next test project easier. I call it "test project today, preparing for tomorrow's program." If you do every project it will split into two and a half above, you can almost guarantee that you can continue to make progress. In this way, you can as the project each participating has grown to become better testers.
Every project will be able to understand the project, in-depth projects, using existing skills or to learn new skills, you have to believe either will or will not have the skills test, you will grow in the process of re-use. - Excerpt from http://www.cnblogs.com/skytraveler/p/3546703.html "exploratory software testing," replied author of the book of James Whittaker test career to do.
Recently also recruit testers, a good number of the interview, basically all I ask some questions based on their resumes look at the resume of authenticity, every time I would do the interview after interview records, among those asked to review problem. I will ask some basic knowledge test, network knowledge, the issue of databases, if management experience I will ask some questions about team management.
Basically I ask is that you opening test methods commonly used in the project, almost everyone is answered equivalence classes, boundary value, error guessing, etc., very few people can say other test methods, I think it is not we tested rarely mention or use other test methods, even those who can know the result of the test method, with an instance of do the design, accounted for the majority of people do not come out to play or accurate.
Also I am also in the process of climbing, I'd expect a team to discuss the exchange of people and start working together, rather than people will be executed.
