First, let’s talk about the division of the software testing industry. One is black box testing or functional testing and manual testing.
The second is white box testing or test development.
Black box testing has low gold content, and testers learn less testing tools.
White-box testing, now the software industry is paying more and more attention to white-box testing. White-box testing requires writing code, usually just writing some scripts or developing test tools. Python, Shell, and Perl are often used to write test scripts. Of course, if the company uses Java internally If it is the main programming language, you still have to learn java. In short, learn at least one programming language.
Everyone has an understanding of the testing industry, I will talk about the tools required for software testing: according to different stages of testing, there are different testing methods and testing tools. Basic testing tools include: test design tools, static analysis tools, unit testing tools, functional testing tools, performance testing tools and test process management.
Let me talk about why these tools are used. The first is the test design tool, which is mainly used for the design of test cases. It is divided into two categories; one is the code-based test case design tool, which mainly reads the program source file, analyzes the code structure, and then generates test input data for testing; the other is based on the requirements specification test. Use case design tool.
It first converts the requirements specification into a format that the tool can understand, and then the tool analyzes the converted requirements specification to generate test cases. The second is a static analysis tool, which tests the program code itself. It analyzes the data flow and control flow information of the program by checking the code to find out system defects, and at the same time, it can check out the irregular naming in the code.
The third is the unit testing tool, which mainly improves the quality of the program by comparing the input of the simulated program with the expected results. Generally, after the development of a unit is completed, the developer performs unit testing on the module by himself.
It is the cornerstone of improving software quality. The fourth is a functional test automation tool, which is the main tool used in regression testing. Through its script recording and playback functions, the workload of testers can be greatly reduced. In addition, it also has programmable line and inspection functions. more flexible.
Typical functional test automation tools are: RationalRobot. The main steps of using a functional test automation tool include: preparing for recording, recording, editing test scripts, debugging scripts, running regression tests, analyzing results, and reporting problems. The fifth is the performance test tool, which is to simulate the high concurrency, unstable network bandwidth, limited server resources and other environments that may occur in the actual work of the software.
Performance testing is also called stress testing or capacity testing. Its test content mainly includes: the corresponding time of the system, transaction processing speed and time-sensitive requirements. The sixth is the test process management tool, which runs through the entire software testing process, including the formulation of test plans, test case design, test execution, and defect tracking. It manages the documentation, data statistics, version information, etc. generated during the entire testing process. Such management tools generally use the WEB system, because it is easy to access and modify, and it is convenient for communication and collaboration between teams. Therefore, with the help of these testing tools, we can not only improve our testing efficiency, but also organize and manage the entire software testing process more effectively. In other words, using testing tools can save us a lot of overtime.
Encouragement: [Tutorials that may help you]
These materials should be the most comprehensive and complete preparation warehouse for friends who do [software testing]. This warehouse has also accompanied me through the most difficult journey. I hope it can also help you! Everything should be done as early as possible, especially in the technology industry, and the technical foundation must be improved.
