It in the domestic industry sector, there is a unexplained phenomenon is likely to be dismissed in the older practitioners after 35 years. Internet can often see xx dismissed in a large company.
The reality is it really? See is not necessarily true, in fact, this is only a fraction of people around us have most of the elderly practitioners. But we must be vigilant awareness, early out of the comfort zone, have their own core competitiveness in order to cope in the workplace.
Test may be replaced by industry is a highly industry, especially manual testing. This not only makes us think, what is the core competitiveness of testers? As a tester how to improve their competitiveness?
After working for several years to test, easy to fall into confusion. One is unable to break through, too deep technology and do not understand, do not want to do a simple functional test, has been eating his savings, did not quit emboldened. Another problem is personality, not suitable for the development of the management route, we do not want to bring people.
Test, you first need hard power to improve the testing - testing technology, this is the most basic ability, there is no shortcut in the work of previous years, the main focus should be on enhancing the technical test. Setting clear goals, and strive to improve testing technology, it is the right way.
Although in recent years the rapid development of technology, testing methods and technology are endless, but in fact the basis of the test methods and techniques are still common. No major breakthrough development technology when testing technology would not be a big change, to change is to test the efficiency and coverage optimization.
Currently testing industry can be divided into three categories: Embedded direction, the direction of the Internet, the financial test direction. Testing is not the same in different directions.
Embedded direction: Embedded interests include smart phones, smart wearable devices, car networking; Internet direction: web, mobile APP, PC clients, servers; financial test methods: bank, securities and insurance industries;
The core competence of testers What? If another company's products and different services, such as mobile phone industry to change from a smart device or mobile APP direction, when applying a high probability you will be asked "Why come xx, What are the advantages you"? If we answer "I will test xx, my strong ability to learn," it would be very far-fetched, ability to learn is false, because the age and family, learning ability and efficiency can have a strong graduating students? Xx test will only fail to reflect the core strengths, under the new culture can be independently tested.
The company is hiring you that you need to bring value to the company, so we have to prove that the company wants me to be able to reflect their own values. If we say that we are learning ability, will test, this is not our core competence testers years of work experience. A fresh graduate or new, learning a few months can be tested, why should you recruit high salaries.
Will be tested, the test can not stay only in this matter. We need to be very familiar with the test product or service, can quickly understand the focus of the test, a test to identify blind spots, a reasonable allocation priority testing. Positioning a problem faster testing, test direction can be adjusted according to test results.
Secondly, a new business and new product form, needs to be able to quickly build a testing framework, set up the test team, the ability to pull through the various departments, who wants a lifetime working in someone else's hands, this is our core competitive force, we usually need to think and accumulation. Will test, although the work can be done quite well, but only passively listen to someone else's schedule, it is easy to be replaced, which is we need to change and thinking.
Companies generally have a rank system, we have to grab any opportunity to improve the rank, not only bring about changes in the salary, but also bring about changes in the circle. Generally the higher the rank, the more can contact, the more important task of leadership are generally arranged for the backbone, so can quickly enhance their own, forming a virtuous circle. Of course, their technical strength to be strong, never forget their own investment.
Lift the curse, while increasing the hard skills, more thinking, then look for landing opportunities at work to perform, over time, improve the soft skills and their value.
