Some time ago, I interviewed 15 people. How should I say, basically none of them met the requirements. In fact, I aimed at the intermediate level at the beginning, and I didn’t expect to come to Da Niu. The salary offered was 10-20k. The level was disappointing.
Looking at resumes, most of them have 3 years of work experience, but in the interview, testing tools are not mentioned, and only a lot of basic technologies are unknown. Most of the years of work experience are just a pile of functional testing, without depth, for APP automation, etc. Waiting for one question and three questions, they all stay at the basic method level of interface testing, advanced automation questions are even asked one dead, and the latest developments in cutting-edge technologies are not paid attention to.
Due to the influx of these unqualified testers who think they are excellent in large numbers in the market, most companies have to lower their expectations, but the truly capable testers are basically not affected, and it is still easy to change jobs. If you are dissatisfied with your current job and do not have enough experience, you may wish to calm down and study further.
The above are not malicious remarks. Instead, I feel that the testers should not lose themselves in the work. At present, as far as the large amount of recruitment information is concerned, if you want a high salary, you will need the following points
Software test engineer needs to master the knowledge:
Computer knowledge, including programming language, mastering at least one development language, such as C, Java, C#, etc.
A scripting language, such as Python, Perl, Ruby, Shell, is very helpful for the broader career development of test engineers in the future.
Database knowledge, for most projects or Internet projects, there will be a database, so master at least one database, such as Oracle, SQl Server, DB② Mysql, etc.
Operating systems, such as Linux, Unix, and Windows core commands are also very important. For some related to the network, network and communication knowledge, such as TCP/IP protocol is also very important.
Software testing requirements analysis and software test case design core engineering methods. Master mainstream software testing tools, such as performance testing tools JMeter/LoadRunner, typical representatives of automation tools Selenium/UFT/Appium, test management tools, etc. In fact, these tools are not enough, and you need to truly understand the implementation principles behind them.
It is equally important to master the core R&D process, such as RUP, and the testing process, such as the double V model, or the current popular agile testing. Methods are secrets, tools are weapons, and processes are routines.
Now many software testers will fall into a vicious circle: Seeing other people's promotion and salary increase, they think why other people's luck is always so good. I joined the company at about the same time as him! Then I went to change jobs and found that the current interview is so difficult. I just automate the test and test the framework at every turn. Software testing is not easy to do. There are too many people doing software testing.
To sum it up, I just didn't think about it myself, and I didn't find the reason from myself. No matter for programmers or other positions, if you want to get a salary increase, you must keep up with your ability, and the only way is to improve yourself through learning.
