Cognitive testing Architecture

At first, when I heard about the design of the test architecture, I felt as sacred and mysterious as I heard about the design of the software architecture. Holy because these two positions are software testing and top-notch positions in software development on the technical line. They are generally expert-level positions. It is mysterious because they do not know exactly what they do. People outside the professional community may not be clear even if they are software professionals. Let's explain it together.

First, understand what architecture is. Architecture (Architecture)The following are available in the Chinese Dictionary:3Description:

① Construction; construction.

② Frame; bracket.

③ Compare the organization, structure, and pattern of things.

In the architecture explanation, we first mention the architectural architecture, which is also the initial source. Later, engineering design with similar characteristics in other industries was also called architecture design, such as software architecture design and test architecture design. The architectural design aggregates the wisdom of designers and is a high-level design built on the roof. A successful design has a soul and is a perfect combination of art and science and technology. Based on the design results, there are layers of architecture design, including qualified architecture design, excellent architecture design, excellent architecture design, and rare extraordinary Architecture Design in the world.4-1As shown in, the architectural design itself also has its gradient advanced development law.

The qualified and Excellent Architectural Design in the construction industry is not uncommon around our lives. However, it is remarkable, especially the excellent products, such as the Land kings in Shenzhen and the bird's nest in Beijing. Diwang, a landmark building in Shenzhen383.95Meters, combining architectural and cultural landscapes, is an outstanding innovative architectural design.2008The "Bird's Nest", the Giant Stadium of the Beijing Olympic Games, is a superb architectural design. It not only impressed the world with its superb appearance, what's more important is the meaning and the thoughts reflected in it, which are profound and far away. "Nest" symbolizes the birth of life. "nest" is like a cradle, pinned on the hope of the future of mankind.

The architectural design of the construction industry can be so amazing, what is the situation compared to the architecture design and test architecture design of the software? The construction industry has a history of thousands of years, while the software engineering system has been
With the rapid development of the information industry, it is gradually formed. The introduction of the testing architecture in the industry has emerged with the emergence of the emerging software testing industry in recent years. The development of any thing changes.
Development Rules. In foreign countries, the software testing industry has been developing for 20 or 30 years. The testing industry has gained a general understanding and a high degree of recognition of the testing architecture. In China, it is indeed too new, smart
Joint recruitment (Www.zhaopin.com)2007The annual survey on the recognition of the soft testing industry shows that the recognition of the soft testing industry by the majority of professionals is not high. Only8.8%Less than, less than of the employees who select "know some", and more than half of the employees choose not to know or even never heard of it,4-2. The data also shows that the domestic soft testing industry is still in its infancy,The software industry in China is in a period of rapid development. Some large companies and companies with high quality requirements have mentioned the importance of software testing on the strategic agenda of enterprise development, there are more and more demands for testing architects..

Although some small companies do not have specialized architecture testing jobs, it does not mean they do not have this role. In fact, this role already exists since the testing architecture has been in place. But this role may fall
A test Manager, test supervisor, or a test engineer may even be at the head of a Development Manager. The so-called "Sparrow is small and dirty," is just a reflection of the "five dirty" and the degree of development
It may vary widely. The design of the test architecture is the same as that of other architectures. We need to consider both the application and research of the test technology and the management of the test personnel and the design of the test process.

Compared with the design industry, testing, such as software design and architectural design, is a technology ** industry. Of course, it can also have its own products, that is, service products, such as a group of excellent professional test teams and a set of suitable test procedures and methods.4-3Institute
Show, take the software as the center, all testing service products, including testing human resources, rotate around the center of the circle, promote continuous software optimization, and ultimately output high-quality software products. The test architecture should consider more than all
It is an overall design of testing for products that provide software services, and also to consider the relationship between these products and the interface department, and even the relationship between all links of the entire project chain and the soft test.
