Recently, a 32-year-old old classmate asked me to talk to me because he was fired from the company, so he wrote this article.
He graduated from his second degree in 2015 and majored in gardening. He is a lazy person who doesn't like to study, and his professional studies are average. During the internship, I found a corresponding job through school recruitment. But the good times didn't last long. This profession was exposed to wind and sun, and it was really tiring. After working for half a year, I quit my job. One after another, milk tea shop, sales, trusteeship, everything has been done anyway. Basically, I change jobs every once in a while, because none of them are the jobs I want to do, so I haven't been doing them for long. Just in 2015, the Internet industry was very popular. He also thought about working in the IT industry, so he found me, and I recommended software testing to him. He also listened to my suggestion and went to sign up for a training class. But he has never been in this industry before, and he has no majors, and his studies are so-so. But there was a big gap at that time, so I reluctantly joined an e-commerce company, engaged in the simplest manual testing, and the salary was just enough to support myself.
I worked like this for a few years. Later, with the rise of automated testing, his manual testing was no longer popular, so he was laid off by the company. The interview is also repeatedly hit the wall.
At present, he is bumping into walls everywhere and spends most of his time running Didi to deliver food. He still does not have a stable job and barely maintains his family's expenses.
When a person reaches middle age, the responsibilities on his body increase. There are old people and young people, and the pressure is indeed not small. "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach." This seems to be a true portrayal of the software testing industry. The threshold for software testing is low and the salary is high. Every year, new blood washes over the "forerunners" in the software testing industry. If they want not to be replaced, advanced automated testing is the best way to break the situation.
Because I like planning and collecting and summarizing, I took a while to organize and write the following "Automated Test Engineer Learning Route", and also sorted out a lot of [network disk resources]. While helping me, it can also bring you motivation and direction for learning.
1. Essential Python programming content for automated testing
2. Basics of Web automated testing 
3. Basics of APP automated testing
4. Topics on Postman testing tools 
5. Basics of interface automation testing
6. Automation framework packaging
7. Continuous integration
8. Jmeter performance test 
9. APP performance test 
10. Use of Fiddler packet capture tool
11. TCP/IP protocol details
12. Computer operating system
13. Linux system operation 
14. MySQL database
15. RobotFramework automated testing framework 
16. Cross-platform automated testing framework
I hope that everyone will break through the bottleneck of technology according to this learning route, and continue to explore and improve. Although this process will be very difficult, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you get through it, the future you will definitely appreciate the hard-working self now.
As someone who has been here, I also hope that you will avoid some detours. The following learning resources for automated testing hope to help you.
