We can analyze it in detail from the following aspects. Only when we figure it out and understand it thoroughly can we better use resources to improve ourselves.
1. What will I do?
Let me talk about the first one, what will I do? First reaction: I can only do functional testing , and I only did functional testing in the previous 4 years. There is a kind of functional testing in the heart, which is the least technical category of software testing engineers . In fact, all test engineers, regardless of automation, performance, security... need to rely on rich experience in functional testing. There are also many high-paying people in the field of functional testing. Then what are they based on...
This is a self-summarization of several years of experience: What will I do?
1. The overall quality control ability. Have you already had many plans and self-thinking in your testing experience? Summarize?
2. The ability to organize system function tests for multiple projects, personnel deployment, plan execution, and risk avoidance, have you done a lot inadvertently; 3.
Rich industry business experience, can you find software companies in the same industry? , give full play to its advantages in the business field;
4. Do you have your own set of theories for tailoring and implementing the quality process system?
5. Functional test design and program formulation, I believe there is a mature system.
2. What is the level of my knowledge?
After the summary is completed, let’s confirm the level. If the above has reached a certain level, it will be summarized into a book, which is also the core experience required by many entrepreneurial enterprises. It is necessary to quickly organize a testing team and quickly iterate functions. If there is none, it can only be said that the whole process is completely fishing. The problem is not with the work, but with itself.
With many years of work experience, what is the level of ability required in various aspects to be regarded as the normal level of market ability? From the perspective of job level, what kind of ability level is required for a middle-level and senior-level test engineer, I believe that a person who has worked for 4 years will not be completely ignorant. Let us also summarize here:
· Planning project testing work. As a veteran with 4 years of testing experience, it is basic to get a software product or a version to lead the overall testing process implementation and planning.
·Be able to locate the defects of the project, and coordinate with the product to formulate the direction of project optimization. He has relatively rich experience in his own business field, and has certain insights or optimization solutions at the level of product development, quality assurance or demand realization.
· Can write system test cases . Can quickly design and write a test case with high coverage and high validity, and can review the test cases of team members and guide optimization. This is the core skill of being a test engineer.
·Automation technology. There may be deficiencies, but I have been doing it for 4 years so I have never heard of it. Still have some basic understanding and know where each automation technology is implemented. Especially interface testing, which is already a standard skill for test engineers today, at least they must know how to use common interface testing tools for interface testing.
·Excellent communication skills. With the rapid development of Internet companies, the speed of product development of technical teams must quickly provide enough ammunition. The application of a large number of agile models requires testers to play a vital role, weaken documentation, strengthen communication, and be able to quickly communicate quality requirements and requirements standards and control the quality of the entire team. Therefore, no matter what kind of team you are testing in, you need to know the ways and methods of various environmental quality assurance for product development to support fast and effective communication.
·other. There are also many points listed above. There are many selling points for software test engineers. The current market is enough to accommodate people with these technical capabilities.
3. What is the test position for my target salary?
However, it has been found that pure manual testing is no longer the trend of software testing positions. Then in the next job, you need to accumulate and continue to learn and try. Supplement the shortcomings of your own professional skills. Don't make excuses: it is useless at work, the team has no needs, and if you look at it later, the result will still be the same. Even pure management positions also need technical support.
My road to automated testing is inseparable from the plan at each stage along the way, because I like planning and summarizing, so my friends and I spent a period of time to organize and write the following "Automated Test Engineer Learning Route" , also Organized a lot of [network disk resources]
[Automated testing learning route]
1. Essential Python programming content for automated testing
2. Basic content of Web UI automated testing
3. Web UI automated testing content
4. Basic content of APP UI automation testing
5. Practical content of APP UI automation testing
6. Basic content of API interface automated testing
7. Practical content of automated testing of API interfaces
8. CI/CD continuous integration special technology
9. Practical technology of automated testing framework

END meager strength
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 [software testing] friends. This warehouse has also accompanied tens of thousands of test engineers through the most difficult journey. I hope it can help you too!
