3 years of test experience is nothing, just a touch on your resume. I always feel that I have a lot of experience and can find a satisfactory job no matter where I am, but the reality is that I slapped me in the face! The kind that doesn't give sugar afterwards...
Let me talk about my personal situation first. I usually graduated with a second major in computer science. I know python, can write scripts, know selenium, and know performance. However, I haven’t received an offer since I left the job! I have been unemployed for a long time. I have been preparing my resume since the first day I left the job, and started to put it in. At first, I just applied for some positions on the official website. I didn’t receive an interview invitation, and all the feedback I got didn’t match. It’s not good. Later, when I submitted a large number of resumes, I did receive more than a dozen interview invitations, but I hit a wall every time. I doubted myself again and again. Is it true that I can’t find a job when I’m old?
30 years old is a very embarrassing age, most companies will be more hesitant to programmers over 30 years old. If you hit a wall in the interview and feel frustrated, it will be even more sad if you are interviewing a company that you really want to work for. And the inner panic may be frustrated many times, starting to fall into self-doubt, not sure what to do in the future, feeling very confused!

Thoughts from dozens of interviews
1. Self-introduction
Don’t repeat the information in your resume. Simply introduce the company’s experience from near to far, then introduce the project, highlight the technical points used in the project, your responsibilities, your performance, and guide the interviewer to ask questions about your proficiency skills.
2. Don’t dig yourself a hole
Don't pull out some unfamiliar skills in the interview, the interviewer will follow you after hearing it.
3. Reduce the embarrassment of silence
After understanding the question, think quickly, and answer in a different way if you don't think of it, or answer an answer similar to skill points.
Otherwise, if you don't think about it all the time, and keep silent for a long time, it will not only cause an awkward atmosphere, but also increase your tension, and your brain will be even more difficult to use later.
4. Analyze the thoughts that the interviewer wants to express in the words of the interviewer
Often "Hmmm, yes." - Identification Security
There is a brief silence, without comment on your answer. - no more
5. The importance of automated testing
No matter what level of test engineer you are interviewing, the interviewer will ask " Can you program? Do you have experience in automated testing ?"
One can imagine the pressure faced by those students who have been in the industry for several years but are still functional tests. After all, the software testing industry is still a technical position. Since it is a technical position, it must rely on technology to speak. Keep mastering new skills. As a person who has experienced it, I would like to give some advice to all testers: a tester, you really shouldn’t be just a little bit. With the change of the system, for the current testers, it is not automation or code. How important it is, but understanding automation, understanding code, and being able to understand the implementation of the system have become essential skills.
So how to learn automated testing?
Since automated testing is the only way to improve manual testing, although automated testing is not so high, it is also essential. So as an ideal tester, how should you learn automated testing?
(1) Position yourself accurately and define your goals
Many students realized the importance of automated testing, so they searched for information on the Internet, or enrolled in training courses, but in the end, the more they learned, the more confused they became, between knowing and not knowing how to go forward? What is the reason?
This is because you didn't think about a few questions before learning automated testing: What is my real level? If learning a new technology or language, how much energy am I willing to invest? From now on, what goal should be achieved in three months or half a year? Do I understand the current automated testing types or systems in the industry? If you think about these problems before you start learning or training, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
(2) Fully understand and choose the entry point
At present, the directions of automated testing are roughly as follows:
- Auxiliary test script direction: use Shell and Python to simplify repetitive work, filter logs, etc.;
- Interface automation testing direction: Python+Unittest+HtmlTestRuner+Jenkins and Java+Httpclient+TestNG+Jenkins, of course there are many other secondary development frameworks or tools, but the core is the same;
- The direction of page automation mainly includes Python+Webdrver+HtmlTestRunner+Jenkins, Java+Webdriver+TestNG+Jenkins, and other frameworks and tools;
- App automated testing direction: Robotium+Java+TestNG+Jenkins,
- Appium+Java+TestNG+Jenkins, Appium+Python+HtmlTestRunner are the main ones.
Of course, what is introduced here is simple and the most basic implementation plan, which is more suitable as an introductory study. Other various secondary development frameworks and solutions with many functions are left for you to improve in the future. Start by understanding these aspects and choose a language system. It is recommended to start with interface automation, and then learn pages and apps.
(3) Step by step, don't be greedy
When we improve ourselves, we find that there are many things to learn, so we are very anxious and want to learn many things at the same time, which is actually not good. Learning too much is easy to cause confusion, and it is not easy to digest. If you investigate carefully, you will find that many things are connected. Code architecture, use case management, execution strategy, and continuous integration ideas can all be learned from one another. The key is to actually implement it yourself. Write use cases on the company's current framework. No matter how much you write, it is useless if you don't understand the overall structure.
(4) Abandon tools and use open source
There seems to be no shortage of automated testing tools in the industry, such as QTP, RealobotFramework, LoadRunner, etc. There are countless well-known and unknown ones. Let’s not talk about how effective these tools are. At present, large companies never use these tools. Everyone uses open source frameworks and tools to customize their own testing solutions.
So when you just learn automated testing, don't rely on tools, use open source Webdriver, Appium, Robotium, etc. to build your own automated testing projects. Master an overall automation engineering working principle, and prepare for building your own automation engineering, tools, and platforms in the future.
Whether you love or hate automated testing, it is a necessary stage from manual testing to test development. You may have learned that automated testing is useless, that implementation costs are high, and that execution efficiency is low. In fact, this is not a problem with automated testing.
As someone who has experienced it, I have a deep understanding of the difficulties in the learning process.
If you are also developing in the direction of automated test development, at the right age, choose the right position, and give full play to your advantages!
As an automated software test engineer, how hard should I work to quickly become an excellent test development leader? This is not only a software test engineer who has just stepped into the workplace, but also an engineer who starts to get confused after working for three to five years. problems to face and understand.
