Money does not equal the future though, but still oh and money are closely related.
So look at a map it Recruitment:
Looking back again, the software test have a future?
With the maturing of the software industry, blasting hot mobile Internet industry, a sense of the user experience, software ease of use, security software received more and more attention, so the major importance of enterprise software testing has been significantly improved .
From the current recruitment demands, the amount of software testing job recruitment at a distinct upward trend, the salary level, the benefits of software testers is also a growth soared. Generally good test development, test architect, test manager of the annual salary of one million is not a dream.
In addition, according to ChinaHR statistics, the gap of software testing professionals in more than 30 million people, IT industry giants at home and abroad are stepping up competition for software testing professionals.
So do not say no future testing, it was a stranger, or is in the initial test engineers have been little point.
So how to develop the test software to more promising it?
According to the different stages to achieve the goals it:
Phase One: test basic skills
Functional testing requirements for basic skills test: including requirements analysis, test planning, test case design (boundary value, equivalence partitioning scene analysis, condition coverage and so on means to write test cases.), Tracking the deployment of test environments, Bug Life Cycle (such as positioning and accurate description of Bug, Bug validation and regression testing, etc.), jira use, testlink use, writing, communication and exchange and other soft skills test report. The basic testing will be able to adapt. Of course, mysql would like also to oh.
Stage Two: Use scripting and tools
As your business grows, there will be a number of different scenarios require repetitive work, then you need to write some script code, such as python, java, etc. to enhance the efficiency of this work. The tool will also introduced Postman, loadrunner, Jemter, RF, and the like to assist test. Of course, we testers need to have the appropriate encoding capabilities, and rapid learning tools.
Stage Three: automated testing and implementation carried out
Recruitment test on job requirements so there will be a "test automation capabilities", but whether the work really into the automated test, it would not know. But do automated testing, we need to have skilled use testing framework unittest, junit, TestNG, Selenium, Appium other mainstream frameworks such as, but no matter what automated testing (test automation interfaces, Web automated testing, App automated testing, performance testing) , eventually made of continuous integration (CI) = + test test framework + Jenkins + Report. Not only do we want to automate, but also can package their own framework, more suitable for automated testing and carry out post-maintenance.
Phase IV: Test platform development capabilities
More and more companies, especially the large number of Division are demanding test platform development capabilities, more and more companies recruit some very generous treatment of Test Development Engineers, which must also testers need to have some technical skills test accumulation, to do such a thing can solve those problems? We can integrate test resources, facilitate one-stop testing through the platform, reduce testing costs, improve test quality and efficiency. So the ability to turn out a variety of python, flask, django, react, java, springmvc, springboot and so on.
Through the platform to better improve the quality and efficiency of the project, can more easily monitor the quality of each version of the interface, the interface can be more flexible on the previous monitoring analysis, no longer have to migrate to server interfaces or big changes to the manual little point for all business functions.
Phase Five: Testing architecture and team management skills
When you reach a certain technical ability, work experience at the company long enough, popular leaders attach importance to and they will come to management positions accordingly. Of course, some people say, I'm not technical, I can manage to do ah. It is possible, but you do not brag force by mouth? How there is no better technology to improve efficiency, quality and security, Di Xiaren doing something you do not understand how you grasp the direction of the whole team do? The current management is getting harder and harder, not only requires management to have emotional intelligence, can deal with all kinds of people and different ways, have also requested technical direction, it requires that you have the ability to test architecture, for your current test work have any idea how the introduction of technology to improve the efficiency of the test? How to invest? So how output ratio? How to staff the division of labor? How do team building team? How to team values set? And so many problems, so do the test is not so easy, really easy if you just stop at the first stage.
In fact, we can also see through the top of the content of the whole test development process, need to do technical support, no technical how to do it? Difficult difficult ...
