The former high-paid software test engineer, 35 years old, was dismissed by the company, and he was very tired after delivering food until the early hours of the morning, but he still had an urge to tell. Even if it makes everyone feel that I have talked too much and is annoying, I will become Xianglin's sister-in-law, but I really want to talk. The experience of this year has been too bitter and miserable, and I have been depressed for a long time, and I want to cry but have no tears. I can neither cry nor sing long songs, I can only be in the most familiar pedestrian street.
Many people questioned me, saying that someone who has worked as a "test engineer" and earned a salary of 20,000 yuan cannot find a job to deliver food. All I can say is that you are all too young. Except for doctors and lawyers, two professions that get more and more popular with age, I can say this sentence with certainty. Not only myself, but from my friends and former colleagues, I have clearly seen how real and cruel the "35-year-old phenomenon" of software testers is.
If you want to break the game, you can only put down your body and honestly accumulate experience points again. If you don't work hard, you can only be optimized; If you don't want to be routine, then start to develop your working ability in a down-to-earth manner, and regularly measure how much salary you are worth. Having a clear understanding of yourself is the best way to break the situation.
If you want not to be controlled by the curse of age restriction, you can only keep learning new knowledge.

As an automated software tester, I would like to share some of my summaries and summaries of technology over the years, and share my notes on the skills that an advanced tester needs to master. I hope it can help those who are interested in technology. On the road all the way to black friends!
Let me share the knowledge architecture diagram of the development direction of software testing engineers that I have compiled in 2023, which may be the most complete.
1. Automated testing must know Python programming technology
2. Web automation testing technical content
3. Technical content of APP automated testing
4. Postman test tool topic
5. Technical content of interface automation testing
6. Ability to build automated testing framework
7. Continuous integration
8. Jmeter performance test
9. APP performance test
10. Use of Fiddler packet capture tool
11. TCP/IP protocol
12. Linux system operation
13. MySQL database
14. RobotFramework automated testing framework
15. Cross-platform automated testing framework Airtest
The above is a technical advancement path map for full-stack test engineers that I compiled . Complete the construction of such a technology stack. It can be said that this process will make you miserable, but as long as you get through it. Later career will be much easier. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you take the first step, you are already halfway to success. The ancients said, "If you don't accumulate steps , you can't reach a thousand miles." When you look back on this journey after completion, you will definitely be moved. a lot.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has read my article carefully. Seeing the fans’ growth and attention all the way, there is always a need for reciprocity. Although it is not a very valuable thing, you can take it away if you need it:
These materials should be the most comprehensive and complete preparation warehouse for friends who want to advance [automated testing]. This warehouse has also accompanied me through the most difficult journey, and I hope it can help you too! Everything should be done as early as possible, especially in the technical industry, we must improve our technical skills. I hope to be helpful……
