Tester, in the eyes of outsiders, it looks like a very well-paid and decent job.
But in the eyes of most testers, their work is not so glamorous, and even testers feel that their work is a waste of time!
Coupled with the continuous layoffs in the industry and the mid-life crisis, many testers are tired of their work and question their abilities.
A friend once said that I have been in the company for more than half a year and have not come into contact with any technically challenging work. Every time I do a little bit by hand, I use Weibo when I’m fine at work and watch my phone. I’ve been working for so long and technically. The ability has never been improved. If things go on like this, their career development will definitely be affected!
Others said that they are too busy at work and have to work overtime every day, especially during the project period. I want to continue to study and improve my technical skills, but I have never had time! The salary is considerable, and I have to quit, resign and change jobs, and I am afraid of not being able to find a job! But if this continues, I feel that there is no point at all. Every day it turns like a machine, and I feel exhausted physically and mentally!
I believe that most testers enter the software testing industry because they want to get a high salary, and continue to learn to improve themselves so as not to be easily replaced, but more for promotion and salary increase.
But they have all encountered this kind of trouble, and after doing tests for more than half a year, they feel that they are wasting time!
1. No pursuit of technology, destined to not go far
Zhihu has a high praise answer.
Answer: When others don’t know what to do when the test work is completed, he takes the time to learn.
Make a little progress every day, and after a year and a half, the gap between him and the others will become apparent.
I used what I learned to "copy" an automated test system. From then on, when someone else goes to work, he writes and writes code online to pretend, because the work is completely automated!
When you feel that your testing work is a waste of time and blame others, others have created opportunities to change the status quo.
If things go on like this, the gap between people will show up.
2. Deep plowing and meticulous cultivation, before we can always
"Deep plowing and meticulous work" does not refer to repetitive labor, but a step-by-step vertical penetration, so that one's roots are deeply rooted in the ground, and the ultimate in one's own industry.
Testers not only need to be good at testing, but also need to know how to use various tools to improve work efficiency.
Have a certain degree of communication skills (own and develop the torn capital), and be able to better cooperate with developers and colleagues.
The work is meticulous, beginning and ending, and avoiding unnecessary "back-ups".
Excellent professional ability is the driving force for your continuous efforts, not just from love.
If you love this job again, your skills are not refined, and repeated blows will only make you lose confidence and even lose your interest in this industry.
But if you have strong professional skills, success again and again will give you a sense of accomplishment and gain more motivation to move forward.
The prerequisite for strong professional ability is continuous learning!
So, when you feel tired and confused about the testing work, please remember to keep learning and keep improving yourself.
Excellent salary returns will give you the motivation to move forward, and accomplishing tasks well will bring you an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
You will find that testing is not as boring as you might think!
