Bug fixes -- Software Testing Engineer

Subject: IT Industry
"If there is no wrong program, then the world will no longer exist ."
Errors exist and correction errors exist. This is the way that software testing engineers exist. Although testing is not a fundamental measure to solve the problem, it is a necessary means.
The main responsibility of software testing engineer is to understand the functional requirements of the product, test the product, and check whether the software has any bugs ), determine whether the software is stable (robustness) and write the corresponding test specifications and test cases. In short, software testing engineers play the "Quality Management" role in a software company, correct errors in a timely manner, and ensure the normal operation of products. According to the relevant survey data, the ratio of testers and developers in many domestic software enterprises is at, which is far from that in foreign software companies.
Martial arts skills:
The main responsibilities of software testing engineers are:

1. Tests projects and products, analyzes product requirements, establishes test environments and plans, and ensures smooth product quality and testing;

2. implement, manage and understand various tests at different stages of software development in accordance with software engineering specifications and project management procedures, and submit test reports. The testing plan includes personnel arrangement, progress, software and hardware environment used, and testing process;

3. Submit the test report and write the user manual;

4. participate in the improvement and formulation of software testing techniques and specifications.

Entry qualifications:

Generally, you must have at least a specialist degree and one or two years of testing experience. Be familiar with software testing techniques, methods, procedures, and test documents. Be familiar with the process, management, and deep development of automated testing (including the test framework) for further improvement ); understand some mainstream testing tools, such as function testing tools winrunner, quicktestpro, Performance Testing Tool LoadRunner, configuration management tool testdirecter, visiual source safe, etc. Be familiar with some mainstream software engineering methodologies and ideas, for example, RUP, CMM, CMMI, XP, PSP, and TSP; understand software engineering and software lifecycle model basics, and software configuration management; be able to meet the product characteristics of different enterprises, understand the development and testing methods. For senior software testers, some enterprises require that they have the ability to develop test tools independently.

As developers need to communicate with each other in a timely manner, as an outstanding software testing engineer, they also need good communication skills and verbal skills, and a good team spirit.

Getting Started:

Meticulous logical thinking ability in order to cope with different usage habits of software users and various phenomena that occur during the use of software, software testing engineers should have the ability to reverse thinking and be able to start from the user's perspective, capture all possibilities and have unusual attention to details. In addition, software testing engineers must be well-rounded and be good at communicating and writing various professional reports.
Excellent communication skills should be an excellent software testing engineer and be able to communicate with technical developers, in addition, we can use concise and clear words to explain to customers, managers, and other non-technical personnel what aspects of the system still need to be improved. When communicating with developers, you must pay attention to communication skills, improve communication efficiency, and maintain good interpersonal relationships with developers. When a tester finds a software problem, he not only needs to communicate with the developer, find out where the problem is, explain the reasons for the mistake, and sometimes even propose a solution, directly participate in pre-requirement and code modification. An excellent software testing engineer can consider, explain, and solve problems from their respective positions in a timely manner, so as to avoid conflicts and confrontation as much as possible.
Comprehensive technical capabilities as software testing engineers, although not proficient in various languages and techniques, must fully understand the tested software system and understand what tools should be used for testing. To achieve this, we need a certain degree of programming experience, which can deepen our understanding of the software development process.

It is boring, even repetitive, and sometimes takes amazing time to separate, identify, and assign an error, therefore, testers need to be able to stay calm and patient. This job cannot be at all arrogant. At the same time, the logic is strict, but there is no lack of repeated components of the test work is also easy to make people tired, so it requires a certain degree of self-supervision ability.
Standardized testing procedures the company's informal testing procedures and non-standard testing methods will cause Software testers to lag into the unhealthy status of clicking the button all day long.

Software testing engineers are receiving increasing attention in the IT industry, and their salaries are also increasing. The starting salary of test engineers ranges from 2000 ~ RMB 5000/month. If you have four years of work experience, your salary will be around RMB 8000/month. The actual salary varies depending on the capabilities of different regions, enterprises, and test engineers. Generally 5 ~ The 8-year salary of software testing engineers is twice the salary of new users when they are just getting out of the road, while the salary of software testing engineers with over 10 years of work experience has gone downhill, and 5 ~ In the past eight years, practitioners have been flat and even some companies have offered a slightly lower salary. It seems that the depreciation rate in this line is relatively high.
About 1.33 practitioners in the software testing industry have a bachelor's degree.
