Hello everyone, what I want to share with you today is the choice of testing and test development. I believe that many friends have their own ideas on this issue, so let’s get to the point.
1. What kind of talents do companies need?
An excellent test engineer is a rare talent in the market, and a test engineer with theoretical and practical capabilities will have better employment opportunities in future career development.
What kind of practitioners do companies need today?
Recently, some of my former friends have asked me for someone, and I also have some part-time jobs. When communicating and confirming the needs, there are some commonalities that I can share with you.
The reason why companies recruit people is to solve problems. At present, many companies are facing common problems. There are many tests to find a job in the market, but they still cannot recruit suitable people. This got into a vicious circle.
After communicating with the person in charge of the company, I learned that the company has recruited several test engineers before, but the output results are very poor, and they only do some basic functional tests. It is not that they underestimate functional tests, mainly because this company For companies related to data and payment, the timeliness of functional testing is far from that of interface testing and automated testing.
When recruiting, this company deliberately emphasized, "The people we recruit must be able to carry out testing work independently, and at the same time have proficient practical experience in automated interface testing, database operation and test environment construction are not a problem."
Therefore, it is not that functional testing is not important anymore, but because the current problems that companies need to solve urgently cannot meet the company's requirements or standards for software quality through functional testing, and companies need compound technical talents with higher efficiency and more defects. .
If you want to learn interface automation testing, here I recommend a set of videos for you. This video can be said to be the number one interface automation testing tutorial on the entire network at station B. At the same time, the number of online users has reached 1,000, and there are notes to collect and use. Technical exchanges of various masters: 798478386

①Inclusiveness of software testing positions:
Composite talents: Composite talents who have multiple software skills and practical experience and can flexibly respond to different fields and positions.
Multi-industry employment: have the ability to constantly get involved in and switch between multiple different industries, seek new opportunities and challenges, and enrich their professional experience and skills.
Do not choose professional background: do not limit the professional background of applicants when studying and employing, pay attention to the performance of ability and potential, and pay more attention to diversified talent sources and combinations.
② Software testing technology dominates the situation:
Software testing technology can improve software quality and efficiency, ensure the stability and security of software products, and reduce failures and losses caused by software defects.
Software testing technology can help developers find and solve problems more quickly and accurately, and improve development efficiency and quality.
Software testing technology can break the phenomenon that developers excessively pursue speed and efficiency while ignoring software quality brought about by involution, thereby improving the level and competitiveness of the entire software industry.
Summary: Software testing is still one of the important means for enterprises to improve software quality and ensure product stability and at the same time. However, as the quality requirements of enterprises increase, the proportion of ordinary software test engineers in the workplace is decreasing year by year.
3. Future development of test development
At present, test development engineers are in urgent need of positions in various recruitment websites. From this, we can judge the bias of the enterprise. From the recruitment needs of the enterprise, it can be found that the highlight of the career development direction of testers in the future must be test development engineers.
Test development is a compound talent. As a tester who understands code, he can write scripts through code to find hidden defects in software more efficiently.
As testers who understand code, our job is not only to design scripts, but also to write scripts through code to improve the efficiency of testing, reduce unnecessary waste of manpower, and invest energy and time where it is needed more.
Whether it is software testing or test development, they are the direction of practice of testers, and they can both contribute to software quality. We cannot say that with test development, functional testing will be unemployed, but we must recognize the reality that companies are indeed constantly increasing test development. This is also closely related to the future development of enterprises.
