Small white Growth Advice (1)-deliberate-cloud

Objective

There are many people in the group asked me this question, I am a small white how to enter the software testing this industry, this year I was also ready to write something about the introduction of the content, so this article was born, the estimated chapters should be more than 20 chapters, each chapter about 2000 words, I hope you can like.

Test work

In the first chapter, I think the first thing to talk about is that when you're ready to go to the test, you should ask yourself a few questions:

1. Do I know about the test work?

2. Am I suitable for test work?

3. Can I do the testing work?

Because it is important to choose the first job, of course, if it is your career change is also very important, because only in a relevant industry has a certain amount of precipitation and accumulation, then can make the job become a sense of accomplishment and obtain the corresponding material return.

No job is interesting or easy, because there is no shortage of labor in China, a job you do not do below there are more than 10 people waiting to do, so do not believe what work is more relaxed and comfortable, so-called relaxed and comfortable is to use space and value in Exchange. When you need to make a thing deep to do other people can not replace, it is required tens of thousands of hours of repetition to accumulate, even if the game is a very boring job, reference I wrote the game test from scratch

So come back. When you know that any job, even if the test work is very dull and painful, then how do you choose the job or the industry?

Basically, I think the choice of work comes from the following points:

1. Hobbies (for example, if you like something, do a related job)

2. Related majors (you have a certain basis)

3. Chance coincidence (someone takes you or something triggers you)

And whether the work can be done well, is not hard actually depends on your heart in essence! What is the concept that when you think of a pile of documents or systems being tested every day, you feel overwhelmed and someone is mentally aroused. When you feel that the new knowledge makes you study extremely painful, some people will feel that they can learn more things. This is very obvious to a friend of mine, when doing functional testing often and I complained about people like dying, every day is to see the business, read the document, and now busy to 12 points every day is still happy among them, feel life full, sunny.

In essence, is repeatedly defeated or defeated repeatedly, and the computer This thing is a dead thing, there is no repeated failure of the war will be overwhelmed, and you have mastered the law, you will find that this thing (this estimate you have to do 5 years of work experience will have this similar feeling).

From the work of choice, it is more people feel tired of things, because of new technologies, more novel, walking in the forefront of all industries, but also a more fulfilling sense and sense of security work, because will not be in place, a recruit eat all over the world, work 2 years to find the future every day do the same thing (some industries may only take a few such as the conductor). If you are willing to pay a little more than others, then you have crossed the threshold that we often say, and then you suddenly find that choosing this industry is a very interesting and sensible decision. And if you always stand at the door, this industry will make you miserable.

So there's a lot of it work, what do you choose to test for?

Basically nothing but these views:

1. I can't write code

2. Test work pressure ratio is small

3. Testing for Girls

4. Testing is a good introduction

In fact, these statements can only say right and wrong accompany, in general, because of the one-sidedness of testing work, then in my eyes test work in the end what is the need?

1. Curiosity, to the unclear things like to ponder

2. Patience, in order to get a conclusion willing to repeat the attempt to obtain results

3. Communication skills, testing is a need to persuade others and understand the work of others, need good expression ability, personality charm and communication skills

4. Learning ability, others understand you need to understand a little more, because you need to persuade others to rely on the mouth is not good, in essence, rely on data and evidence.

So let's start with a few of the more partial points that we've mentioned earlier:

1. Test does not need to write code

In fact, the test work is not without writing code, but in most of the primary testing work is mainly functional testing, that is, instead of users to run software experience software, in this case does not need to have development capabilities, but this seemingly simple actually difficult. Can you refer to gourmets, gourmets eat, this thing you will I will, what a great. Now the requirements for testers are becoming more and more demanding in development, and if you want to validate the tested software well, the development is the basis, so there are times when testing has a higher development capability than the development effort.

2. Test work pressure ratio is small

There are some differences between test work and development work because the development effort requires specific outputs, and the output of the test work is slightly less (less quantifiable). The same thing, the development of the workload is relatively easy to clear out, and is not too reasonable quantification out (obviously good to 2 days, not to 1 days to make, although can be done, but do not understand the person is not see where the bad). And the test work more easily lazy, because in addition to the use of specific test management tools, otherwise there is no way to monitor you measured or not measured, intentions and useless heart is not seen, unless there are problems after testing, and the remaining problems are inevitable, so this time the initiative of the work back to their own hands, That is, the pressure will be very serious test, and do not take the pressure of the test will be relatively small.

In this point I can only say that the mixed sooner or later, you are not serious natural someone for you seriously.

3. Testing for Girls

From the point of view that most development is male, girls do test can get the advantage of communication, but girls also have their own shortcomings, so you will find most business tests are girls, but the technical test is male. The girl's character really in the basic repetitive work will be more advantageous, this is only a professional division, but if you think girls do not improve the technology can be mixed down, then the previous sentence, China is not sure of people.

4. Test entry Threshold Low

In fact, I have a bit of a negative in mind now, why? Because the threshold of development is actually quite low, you just have to repeat a thing for 3 months, actually to apply for a job is really enough, and test work to the truth to say clearly can do, maybe 3 months is really not enough. But for recruiting companies, most of them are not mature enough to recruit a good test concept and point of view, so for the test job generally only need you to understand a concept, can do some work on the line. From this point of view, the threshold for testing is really not high, but if you have a high desire for future career, it is very demanding to do a good job of testing.

So after saying these things, do not know what you think of the finished?
