Software Test Engineer (Software Testing Engineer) refers to understand the function of the product requirements, and test it, check the software has no errors (Bug), decide whether the software stability (Robustness), write the corresponding test specifications and test cases specialized staff.
In short, software test engineer in a software company in the play is "quality management" role, timely correction promptly corrected, to ensure the normal operation of the product.
Domestic industry continues to test specifications, are the golden period of development, on the rise, the entire industry a bright future.
Because employees at an early stage so that the test overall level is not high, the future of high-quality, demand for software testing practitioners are highly skilled will increase.
Because software testing covers a wide range of skills needed for many, not just a simple little point (function testing).
Those who join a few years, but still functional testing of the pressure faced by students can be imagined.
Software testing industry is a technical job, it is to rely on technology to speak.
Continue to acquire new skills, improve software testing capabilities "find bug" will become a problem of the current software testing professionals urgent need to solve.
So now most of the primary functional testers are closer to the automation, performance, interface.
But there are a lot of software test engineer standing "crossroads" confused, helpless, could not find its own direction.
All confused because think too much and do too little! Each person software testing industry practitioners are aware of the dilemma currently facing them, but to make a timely change, change with the times or too little. Most people obviously "Tarzan collapse in the former looking like soil" can only be eliminated watched their industry do?
So if you still only little point, then it is quite likely to be eliminated.
So, if want to be a qualified software test engineers to enhance their own technology is a necessary process, I'll tell you below will tell you where to study hard:
First, the foundation must learn
No matter what is being done, the foundation is very important, first of all we enter the basic requirements of an industry is to know about the industry and a clear understanding of the work process. The following is my summary test engineers should be essential basics:
1. Test the basic concept
2.mysql database
3.linux operating system
Second, the interface testing technology
Testing at the interface between the test interface system components. An interface test between the point of interaction is mainly used between the detection system and the external system, and inside of each subsystem.
Stress test is to check the exchange data, and control transfer process management, and logical mutual dependencies between systems.
Test Your Knowledge interfaces need to learn are:
1. The principle of interface testing
2. Use packet capture tools
3. Interface Test Tool
4. protocol development, regular expressions, data processing
Third, automation technology
Automated test as a test of demand for the industry's largest technical points, recruitment requirements everywhere, Advanced Senior Test Engineer will be one point.
what? You will not Code? learn! what? Your code base is weak? learn!
In short, even if you are not automated, then you say he is a senior test engineer? Automated thing to learn is as follows:
1. Fundamentals of automation
2.webUI and Selenium framework
3.app automation framework and Appium
4.robootFramework automation tools
Fourth, the performance test technology
Performance testing is to test the system performance analog variety of normal, abnormal and peak load conditions through automated testing tools.
Load testing and stress testing are all performance testing, performance testing required knowledge has the following points:
1. The basic concepts of performance testing
2. Performance Tools lr
3. Performance Tuning
4. Program Performance Report
These are the students to share work line only a few years but still functional testing.
Everyone should know the law of ten thousand hours, talking about to become an expert in a particular field, you need 10,000 hours. So you want to become an expert is the need to constantly strive to learn.
As a good software test engineer, to be more experts, peer learning, improve their knowledge level test.
I hope we can become a good software test engineer.
