Software testers How to walk the lake-software testing

Just doing software testing, is very reluctant, has been that development than testing cows, testing is too creative. But after three years of software testing, my view changed, testers need divergent thinking, but also need a lot of professional knowledge to do bedding. Contact with foreign software engineers, of which there are 15 years of software experience in the test, but also in Huawei has done software Test Manager, to know that the test report does not pass, the product is absolutely cannot be released, OH, testing on the quality of the product has the most say.

Test work is for smart people to do, it requires a comprehensive ability. In order to do a good job of testing, in the technical to ensure that three aspects of balanced development. I compare the test person to do the walking rivers and lakes warrior, must have the following three points:

First, internal strength: software technology. Do software testing, the software is absolutely not. Software technology, like internal strength, determines the series of testers. No internal skills will only use software, so the control manual on the measurement function. Even do not understand what also can test, test method does not have a recruit monkey test method, hehe. However, professional software testers, to the software development tools, engineering methods have to understand, such as the C tester, Java testers, the more complete understanding, the more the ability of the deeper. For the application and development of testing tools are very useful, I have seen an expert, rewrite the C compiler, you can implement the program based on C variables, code snippets, stack real-time mirror image tracking, strong ah. Another example of the understanding of software engineering, there is the ability to cultivate quality control, process management, defect management, such as advanced martial Arts.

Second, martial arts moves: test technology. Well, since the test to the world, the test technology is the master Kung fu. The test case design method, the different test tool use, the test measure method, the test management must understand gradually. Hey, experts a shot, know that there is no matter what you are testing, small to mobile phones, large to Boeing aircraft, in fact, the test principle is interlinked. Conduct test analysis, complete test design, execute test and evaluate test results. The only way to practice skillfully, see recruit the Recruit, natural line all over the world. If the practice becomes the testability design, the flaw measure and so on unique knowledge, like learned to reduce the Dragon 18 Palm, the limbo is tiny step, walks the River Lake, naturally invincible. Of course, our testing tools, as against the days of the Dragon slaughter dragons, small plum knives and other supernatural soldiers, you walk the river of the test warrior, nature to standing in the body. The test is also a group of hackers, body with extraterritorial battle, but also like the Tang door Anqi, so that the system loopholes nowhere to hide ah.

Third, the lake Experience: product technology. Even if you are pregnant with battle, you need to understand the rules of the river, in order to achieve achievements. People who do not understand the product, it is difficult to thoroughly test the systemic problems, it is difficult to stand in the customer's point of view test, it is difficult to from the point of view of product strategy to assign test resources. You test the communication products, and then study the Itut agreement; you are testing the embedded system, you learn Linux and VxWorks, you are testing the shopping site, it is free to more when ebay and Taobao. Only by delving deeply into the object you are testing can you discover its flaws and the underlying causes of its flaws.

Testing is worth your lifetime of career, she has infinite charm, she can let you play your creative and imaginative power. and experienced professional software testers, in the lake and the status of more and more high, testing this faction will continue to grow.
