Internet industry in the eyes of many young people, is a symbol of well-paid. A few years ago the software testing industry, or a vent, with the staff to change jobs and graduate crazy influx of the software testing industry, but now layoffs emerged when the brunt of the Internet industry, Internet companies a large number of layoffs, will simply manual testing of the test were dismissed commonplace phenomenon. These "little point" after I was fired, others looking for work again thwarted at every turn, some may have not received an invitation to interview.
Internet industry updates very quickly, to keep learning, with the improvement of business requirements into line those years, but still functional testing of the pressure faced by students can be imagined. After all, the software testing industry is a technical job. Since it is a technical job, it depends on technology to speak. Continue to acquire new skills, improve software testing capabilities "find bug" will become a problem of the current software testing professionals urgent need to solve.
But there are a lot of software test engineer standing "crossroads" confused, helpless, could not find its own direction.
They later life where to go, choose to go to food delivery, or choose to run a bit?
Compared to both work and testing, strength and freedom to work according to their own situation to choose from, free time, overtime or not also depends on their own.
Takeaway is a bun of iron, every day shuttle in the busy, both heat and cold, wind or rain, the more bad weather, people's needs will be higher. The weather is bad, the line of sight will be affected, traffic complex, prone to accidents hurry. In addition to cycling, but also to climb up and down on his physical strength but also put forward certain requirements, and give them time to send their own meals just missed the point of eating three meals a day is not the law also have an impact on health.
Open package of meat and pieces of iron, relatively high initial investment costs, fuel costs, insurance, car loss to account for considerable expense, often run empty to pick up passengers, passengers being sarcastic comments to the party, met on the road traffic jam mind is not comfortable. In some places hard to find a bad way to open or have to bite the bullet and open, otherwise it will lead to complaints disputes.
To switch to test human food delivery or open bit is really not that easy, open and pieces of food delivery and service are all part of the industry, mainly dealing with people, emphasizing communication with people, and do the test itself work for the main program different, to be a process of adaptation.
Test turned out to be at work in the office building, now the day to go out, different working environment, but also to adapt to changes in the role, there is news that a programmer before opening the passenger a ride-styled master is very upset, work regardless of the level already, but different social division of labor, others a master feel like they have been demeaning, how can such a haughty attitude sink the heart to do one thing. Since you have chosen this profession, we must accept it, put down the so-called figure, with professional spirit to treat, not too concerned about the opinions of others.
Manual testing work very hard, both work to earn the hard-earned money is not enough willpower difficult to stick with it, and now the bonus period takeaway about car platform has passed, when the subsidy is better to start, to simply rely on subsidies to make money not much room, or to find a suitable method. Do a good job under the circumstances orders of planning, coordination arrangements reasonable route, and strive to achieve the highest efficiency per unit of time, saving their strength, but also cost savings.
Food delivery or open by bit? Only ridicule on their own, improve their skills, it is the ultimate choice.
Think about their abilities and their goals, the expertise and the experience gained summarized, the trend contacts and industry around the combined analysis, find the contrast between my own and want to get in, to discover that they should go and work toward improvement.
Do not be complacent, do not stay in a rut, do not hang on a tree, more stable companies even do not believe the industry can long outlive you, invest in yourself, keep learning, improve their value can be saved the day.
The following software test engineer development plan routes will bring you inspiration and direction:
A test basis
Learn basic skills test, and master the use of mainstream defect management tools, proficiency with the operation and maintenance of the test environment
Two, Linux knowledge necessary
As now the most popular Linux software environment system, then we need to grasp the current recruitment requirements Linux needs to have the ability.
Three, Shell Scripting
Shell scripts grasp: including Shell Foundation and use, Shell logic control, Shell logic functions
Fourth, the Internet program theory
The only way automation: the basics of Internet network front-end development and knowledge necessary
Five, MySQL database
Software Test Engineer essential knowledge MySQL database, not just stop at the basic "CRUD."
Sixth, packet capture tool
Fiddler, Wireshark, Sniffer, Tcpdump various packet capture tool for a variety of projects, there is always a right for you
Seven, interface testing tool
Interface test artifact, you not open around the powerful tools: Jmeter. Compact and flexible: Postman
Eight, Web automated testing Java & Python
Understand the purpose of automation, master TestNG & unittest automation framework, as well as assertions and log processing
Nine, the interface with the mobile terminal automation
Professional interface calls, test solutions. The formation of a complete web interfaces and automation framework, Appium overall use
Ten, Agile Testing & TestOps building
TestOps uncover the mystery, Jenkins continuous integration framework by heart
XI, performance test & safety test
Software testing other side: performance testing and security testing, choose a direction trying to climb pit it!
The above is what I sorted out for everyone the direction of development of a software test engineer Knowledge System architecture diagram. In 1--2 years to complete the construction of such a system. We can say that this process will make you lose, but if you survive the. Later in life would be a lot easier. Everything is hard in the beginning of the so-called positive, as long as the first step, you have won half the battle, good old saying "a short step, a thousand miles." After completing the review to wait until this journey, you will certainly sigh lot.
If you can not find the information you do not want to experience the once self-study, no one to answer questions, insist they give up the feelings of a few days, then we can discuss concerns, there are a variety of software testing information and technical exchanges.
Come on, people test! If you need to upgrade the plan, then act now, in a better way than to wait and see at the beginning.
The future certainly will thank you now desperately own!
