foreword
I have interviewed about 13 companies. The resume package is two and a half years of test experience. Because I am 26 years old, I have to pack it. This is not because I want to deceive others, but now no matter what job I do. If you have work experience, even if you are looking for a salesperson, you must have work experience. Now I feel that the requirements of various industries are very high, so I have to pack my resume. A week ago, I got an offer from a communication software company in Chongqing, with a salary of 25K+13 salary. This is a very congratulatory thing for me.
my self-study journey
It took about half a year for the self-study test. I majored in landscape design as an undergraduate. I studied landscape designers because I thought this major was good a few years ago, but I didn’t expect that the society has changed too much now, and the industry’s output value is very small. From salary and promotion There is almost no space. After graduating from university for five years, I have worked in two companies. Up to now, I am working as a garden designer in Chongqing, and my salary is only 5,000. Even if I become a manager, it is very difficult to exceed 10,000.
But changing careers is still very worrying for me, because after all, I am 26 years old, and the pressure from my family is really great, so changing careers is also a matter of careful consideration. At that time, a friend suggested that I apply for a class, but I rejected it later. To be honest, I really dare not, but I don't want to only get a salary of 5,000 a month in the future, and I still want to try to learn the test. I can only choose to study by myself while working.
I probably learned it after November last year. It should be more than half a year before and after. The main way is to watch video tutorials. Fortunately, it is the latest tutorial in 2022. The knowledge I learned is relatively new. of. Because I usually work from 9 to 5, and it is a weekend, so I have enough time to study every day. In fact, I am quite confident about my study and test to get a job. Maybe my advantage over young people lies in the pressure of family responsibilities. The children grow up slowly, and the cost is very high, so I have to make changes to change my income. , and choosing the study test is probably the option with the lowest barriers to entry.
According to my self-study half-year test experience, I would like to share with you some of my learning experience:
1. A good set of test study tutorials is really very important. I believe that many people will go to the Internet to find various tutorials when they are self-studying the test, but basically they are very scattered and pieced together. And the depth of the teaching is different, so I first suggest that those who want to learn testing must be willing to spend money to buy a relatively complete set of testing learning tutorials that teach very well, which is the foundation of learning.
2. Project experience is very important. If you plan to pack your resume to find a job and want to find a test job with a good income, I suggest that you must make the project beautiful and convincing, preferably the kind of online project. I The project I bought was from the skirt owner. After more than 40 days of collaborative development, I worked with 6 people in total. Everyone knows that it is very difficult to find a job without project experience.
3. Daily persistence is very important. To implement the daily learning plan into the code, at least 5 related examples must be completed every day, and you must find a variety of comprehensive exercises that are better, as well as phased projects. actual combat. This process requires a lot of willpower, and people who don't have an urgent desire to get a high salary should not try to learn the test.
Summarize
Every programmer friend has his own dream of being an architect, but often the dream is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel. If you don't work hard or struggle, you may stop at the grassroots level for a lifetime. Maybe many friends will also say that programmers are also young people, and when they are older, they will not be able to climb up, and their brains and bodies will not be able to keep up. That being the case, why not seize the opportunity and work hard while you are still young, and only then will you have the opportunity to beckon to you in a bright future! Of course, this is only my personal point of view. After all, a hundred people have a hundred different brains, and there will be thousands of different ideas.
meager strength
As a test engineer, 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 structure diagram of the development direction of software automation test development engineers that may be the most complete in 2023.
1. Essential Python programming content for automated testing
2. Basic content of Web UI automated testing
3. Practical content of Web automated testing
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 API interface automated testing
8. CICD continuous integration special technology
9. Practical technology of automated testing framework
The above is a knowledge architecture diagram of the development direction of software testing engineers that I compiled for you.
It can be said that this process will make you miserable, but as long as you get through it. Later life will be much easier. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you take the first step, you have already succeeded in half, and when you look back on this journey after completion, you will definitely feel a lot of emotion.
If you don’t want to experience the feeling of not being able to find information, no one answering questions, and giving up after a few days of learning, here I will share with you some learning resources for automated testing, hoping to help you on the way forward .
How to get the video file:
