In fact, many practitioners will test their future development are confused, feel that their work is actually a "little mouse point", in fact not the case, test engineers have their own value. If you love this industry, a good plan their career path, to reach the maximum salary industry it is also possible.
Continue to strengthen its capacity in this regard 5, you will find that your understanding of the test will be elevated to a new height.
01
Basic testing capabilities
Test is a test of basic skills base. The test itself is a very practical work, solid basic skills essential.
Related processes : such as requirements analysis, test planning, defect tracking.
Solid case design capacity : can utilize a common use case design method "equivalence partitioning", the "boundary value analysis", "flow analysis" and so on,
Strong ability to execute test : end mobile, web end, test execution services have their own characteristics.
02
Environmental governance
"Let's build environment for two weeks, test execution twenty-three days" seriously affect the project schedule, test students to assume the role of the operation and maintenance of the test environment.
Rapid deployment environment, to ensure the continued availability status of the test environment, test every student is an indispensable skill. To achieve this goal, we need to have some ability to understand the system architecture, master the common Linux operating skills, proficiency in deploying some common services, such as: MySQL, Redis, Kafka and so on. With the wide application of technology Docker containers, container deployment service is one of the essential skills.
03
Special testing capabilities
"High Availability", "stability", "ease of use" and other indicators are increasingly sought after by major Internet companies, the value of performance testing, stability testing anomalies, faults and other special exercise testing has become increasingly prominent. These embodiments have some tests require technical skills.
Special test is to analyze and highlight the ability to locate problems, needs constant practice to be promoted.
04
Tool development capabilities
Test automation tools is to improve the efficiency of the weapon, some repetitive tasks automated away, can avoid being dragged down by complicated manual test, the test to focus on more core work up.
Want to do a certain tool developers need to have the ability to code, some conventional wisdom is that the test does not require students to have the ability of code, this is a big misunderstanding. Automation tools developed common framework: Spring Boot + vue.js, Python + Django.
05
Communication skills
Quality as the core and improve efficiency, support rapid product iteration is the ultimate purpose of the test. Testing plays in the project of connecting role, there are a lot of resources need to be coordinated in the process, many problems need to repeatedly communicate.
After a workout these five skills, but also need to begin practice in the actual project, usually do the test and more to rely on these directions above.
