In the case of poor by 2018 the whole environment, capitalism, winter, winter Internet industry, surely we have heard some voices. Although the traditional waterfall flow left over after-effects, many companies still accounted for a large part of manual testing. But many companies have been established with, all the test platform, AI technology, the implementation of the idea of DevOps different cloud test platform for automated test technology leading test system, recruitment demand is also more of a test development, automated testing, and even functional test requirements will have a variety of code, a variety of automated testing.
In the long run, though still manual testing irreplaceable value, but with the testing gradually sharing developers, occupied automated testing technology system, test platform, quality monitoring platform in place, in fact, the share of manual testing will become increasingly narrow , can not prop up the skill requirements of a separate post. Perhaps the next two or three years, when the real singularity advent of the test industry will face a major reshuffle, I am afraid that large-scale layoffs are inevitable, the economic winter of 2018 but will start to accelerate the arrival of the Singularity. Although the Internet is slowly spread in the winter, however. Understand the test development talent and technology has always been in short supply, wages than manual testing too much, even far beyond the same level developers at this stage is actually a premium.
So in the end I went back ability, if only a little bit of simple point, it is certainly no prospects, so their ability to upgrade is essential.
So learning direction? : Automated testing performance testing + + + special test code to test + test platform development capabilities
1, to accept the automation-related training, such as the concept of training, training tool, training, design framework
2, the system learn a coding language, familiar programming ideas
3, internal company commuting automation framework code
4, on github, major forums such as HTTP:. // the WWW testertechnology.com learning automation Source Code
5, involved Yihuhuhuapiao automation use cases developed
6, project from the start, using keyword-driven mainstream thinking re-packaging automation framework, the major study into the keyword web framework, forming visual automation
7, learn automated continuous integration
8, learning test platform development capabilities, independent development test platform (major companies seeking hot)
The process does not seem so fast and efficient, but the effect will be good, if one wants quick start, reported that training is a good choice, but have to rely on their own to spend more time, more learning, more summary.
