2007Year8Month13In the seventh year of my workMCompany, and got a test management position. Although I have been wandering in the role of technology-oriented and management-oriented for the past six years, I am confident that I have accumulated some experience in both aspects, which is sufficient for technical management. HoweverMIn the past one and a half months, my company has really made me start thinking about my work.

Let's take a look at some things and write them down first. We will continue to add them later. You are also welcome to discuss them together. In addition, although my perspective is fromTest teamBut it should also be applicable to other users who want to further increase their own value.Team.

In most cases,Test teamIt does not appear as a direct software producer, but as a subsidiary function team to assume part of the responsibilities in the development process. This also determinesTest teamThe work does not directly reflect the bid value, but only whenTest teamOther persons orTeamUsed by others orTeamOnly when it brings value can it be truly reflectedTest teamValue.

In other words, when our "Products" can serve others, our work is valuable. When there are more organizations that accept or use our "services", ourTest teamThe greater the value.

for example. When a test
Team just think that your job is just" find the bug , and confirm that each bug is properly resolved (this is a classic definition of software testing, one test team the value generated only applies to a Develop team even a developer . In this case, most of the work of test team belongs to Team internal work, and other Team the interface may be limited to only one BUG Tracking System , the interaction work is only limited to the discussion of bug and tracking of the status. In this case, test team the work or even the reasons for its existence cannot be understood by people or organizations outside the project or department.

But when we notice that we canTeam, Even when multiple projects in the entire department or multiple departments in the enterprise provide our "services", everything will be completely different. For example

• Provide each versionBugTrend analysis data to let everyone in the project know the current status of the project
• Through analysisBugData to establish or improve variousChecklistTo help the project team better complete the Requirement Review, design review andCodeReview and reduceBugOpportunity. At the same time, you can periodicallyChecklistSo that the experience of a single project can beTest teamQuick flow to act on other projects in a timely manner
• Take the initiativeEffecect

We can do a lot of things, but the key is whether we have a proactive relationship with other departments or departments.TeamCommunicate, learn about their work and needs, and develop the value that our existing "Products" can provide. Only when we successfully promote ourselvesTeamWith deeper and deeper integration in our work, the value we provide to others is getting bigger and bigger, and our own value will become bigger and bigger.Become an irreplaceable part of the organization!
