A student asked me:
"I have been working for almost 5 years, and I have always wanted to train myself to be a person who can truly take on the position of a leader. Every time I report to work, I have to prepare for a long time, and I also have a long time of drafting and writing.
But when it’s time to report, my mind starts to go blank, my speech is incoherent, and my thoughts are confused again. How can I be like other people, so that my thinking is clear when I report my work, and I finish my work without stopping? "
In the real workplace, there is no need to be eloquent and witty.
Boring, talking about cross talk, maybe it's cool for you to say, definitely not cool for the leader to listen to. I get a headache when I meet someone who is talking about work. Often stopped on the spot: focus on key points!
There is a young man who talks long-windedly, has divergent thinking, and even rushes to talk. Now I only read his written reports. If you don't understand, ask him to come over and ask directly.
report work results
The kind of result that does not require any embellishments and does not beat around the bush for the leader to ponder over. The leader is very tired and has a lot to think about. The easier it is to listen to the report, the more comfortable he is.
The reporting process should be closed
(1) Before the report, you can sort out the text version of the report content and send it to the leader in advance. Some leaders don't like on-site language communication, so send them to him to let him think ahead. Sorting it out will also help you clear your mind.
(2) In the report, there is no need to show talents outside of work. My former subordinate, I don't know whether it is because of his high level of literature or because he wants to show me his clear thinking. He came up to quote the scriptures and speak the truth. One of his reports opened with the words: If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools,...
(3) After the report is completed, the request for instructions should be proposed and the leaders' opinions should be solicited. Wait for the leader to ask the rest. You can make a statement while thinking, and you can cooperate with written records to record key points. Conversations flow like ping-pong.
(4) At the end of the report, state the conclusion based on the leader's intention to see if what you understand is correct and complete.
(5) Go back and sort it out, and send a copy to the leader to maintain the closed-loop and continuity of the work. The starting point of this report is the conclusion of the previous report, and the conclusion of this report is the starting point of the next report.
Do not memorize key information, especially numbers, in the presentation
As long as you recite it deliberately, you will lose 100% of the chain, and the communication with the leader is an open topic, not acting on TV to reproduce the script. The things you memorize are not relevant, as long as the leader doesn't ask you according to the topic or method you preset, a few sentences will confuse you and you will panic.
Prepare in advance: (1) report the logic, (2) clear the key figures in your mind.
What should a good test engineer do?
As a software tester, we also need to have this "get things done", not just "get things done" mentality. "Reporting" is a superstructure based on basic responsibilities.
For an ordinary software tester, the basic responsibilities include: understanding requirements, creating test cases, executing tests, submitting defects, and organizing test reports.
Beyond these basic responsibilities, what else can we do to make our tests better and enhance our skills at the same time?
A netizen shared some experience. Although it may not be suitable for software testing of all products, in mobile Internet testing, if the testers can master it, it can make the testers more professional and in-depth in their work.
In the early stage of the project
1. In the stage of technical research by developers, give suggestions based on their own project experience. When necessary, he can also give suggestions to the leaders through emails, just like it took him only one year to go from grassroots employees to project management.
2. If the requirements document is missing or incomplete, it is necessary to collect scattered requirements with developers to ensure a consistent understanding of all requirements.
3. Participate in reviewing the UI/Workflow of the software as early as possible, and give suggestions and opinions.
4. Collect information about competitors or software similar to the current project, compare and analyze, and gain a deeper understanding of user needs; ensure more accurate review of requirements.
project in progress
1. Pay attention to the technology, development platform, business and other dynamic information involved in the project, and share it with developers or product managers.
2. Familiar with the SCM process and clarify your responsibilities.
3. Regularly communicate with developers about the testing process and defect control process.
later in the project
1. Regularly publish defect status analysis reports.
2. Help customer service staff prepare FAQ, on the one hand, it is a summary of BUG, on the other hand, it is to understand the current product more deeply from the perspective of users.
In addition, we should also note that testers are like doctors. In addition to their own work, they also need to treat developers with a service attitude and maintain smooth communication with developers.
Let developers feel that we are helping them find problems and help them solve problems faster and better, rather than simply finding faults.
The most important thing is that we must make it clear that the goal of all project participants is the same, that is to develop software that satisfies users/customers.
No matter what you do, your level of excellence determines what kind of mentality and concept you will hold in the face of work and life; your concept will further affect your level of excellence.
This is a cyclical process, which can be a virtuous circle or a vicious circle. But if you want to break the cycle, the first step is to change your mindset.
Although hard work may not be rewarded, at least you can make yourself stronger when accumulating strength, and you will always be more confident when facing the unknown future.
