Software testing career plan

Software testing career plan

When it comes to career planning, it may be a hot topic nowadays. What job can I find and do after I graduate from college, so that I can cultivate my abilities in college, in this article, I will talk about how to test the Career Planning Based on my personal experience and experience. Not necessarily true, but it represents my personal point of view.
We may wish to divide this process into three major stages: University, job search, and post-job development;
University stage:
What do we want to learn at the university stage? I feel that what is really useful to us is English and mathematics, as well as the basics of professional courses. English is the key to improvement in the future. Therefore, we must learn English well, in particular, in the testing work, the domestic materials Hate cannot explain the problem. The testing is still a new industry in China (relatively), so there are few materials. Therefore, we often have to look at English materials, therefore, the level of English has a direct impact on future development. Why should we learn mathematics well? In our work, especially in testing, we need the logic and Reverse Thinking of mathematics, therefore, to learn mathematics well is not to say that scores are high, but to learn the way of thinking. Another point is to take the necessary subjects for further study in English and mathematics (well, I have not learned well yet, and I am still tutoring ); A certain professional course is also necessary, because it is the foundation for your improvement after your work, it is easier to improve the foundation, and my foundation is poor, so it took me a year to improve to get a little bit of success (see the test course of sunshine). To cultivate emotional intelligence, this term is now mentioned in many places, some companies even place greater emphasis on EQ between IQ and EQ. In fact, EQ is the cultivation of the ability to control and cultivate your own emotions, as well as some communication, communication, and management skills. How can these be cultivated in universities, if possible, we suggest you refer to some groups that participate in more schools, or you can organize some groups by yourself. If you are willing, you can go to the student union to take exercises, this will train many aspects of my abilities in the future. (I stayed at the student union for a while and it will be of great help to my later work ). Therefore, it is recommended that college students should not be conservative. They should actively exercise themselves and communicate with others.
Job Search stage
This stage may be a confusing stage. There are two main problems: What can I do, what can I do, and what I can do. This is also true when I graduated from college, I don't know what I can do, but I have my own goals. I want to find a job that I like, because my interests in work are a prerequisite for future development, work without interest is generally unable to produce results. Therefore, I suggest that you select a job that you are interested in, but you may not find it. The current job is under great pressure, the second is to generate a sexual interest in the work that you have no way to do. Focus on the sexual interests of the job, and then expand it to cultivate the sexual interests of word work.
Work Phase
We chose the test job. According to the above principles, we have to make good work and make achievements. Even if we cannot make a fortune, we should also make a name on the list; therefore, we cannot work mechanically. We need to develop a development blueprint for ourselves. There are two ways to test our work: one is test-to-management, and the other is test-to-quality control! So how do we plan? I personally feel that testing is also a very tiring job, so one person has an age limit. For now, we are 35 years old first. Maybe some people are still doing testing when they are very old, which is an old test engineer? We generally don't think this is a good choice. After 35 years of experience in testing technology, we can switch, or transfer management or quality control.
In this development process, we need to develop a development direction for ourselves to determine the learning and accumulation plans for our own technical system and management system, technical system, and quality system. First, the establishment of the technical system, as a technical system for testing work, I think there must be a first aspect, and then a line, on this aspect, you need to learn software engineering, software testing technology (Testing Technology), system analysis technology, network technology, network protocol, programming technology, and so on, and some business technologies related to your industry, the establishment of this system is a long-term accumulation process. Of course, you can start from your actual work and do the accumulation in a separate way when doing the work, for example, if you want to test a fingerprint recognition system, you should not only focus on the work itself, but also learn about the technology, understand the dynamics of the industry, learn about other things, and accumulate it in the final project summary. In this way, your knowledge volume will be much larger than your individual project, but it is also tired, so only diligent talents can make greater progress. I am willing to give you a small example, but I hope to give you a direction. Therefore, do not limit your work to the work itself. It must be expanded and expanded. This will be of great use to your future development. When your knowledge reaches a certain level, you will find that the methods you use vary, and the test cases you have designed will be different. We have already established a wide technical area, but this is not enough. We also need to select a point for ourselves and go deeper, for example, I chose the application testing field based on my own knowledge. In this case, I do not need to understand or understand the knowledge. To master it, I can master a unique technology, it is important that the company and even the industry are at the forefront, or you will not have your own survival. Based on your hobbies and work needs, you can even force yourself to choose one and then go deeper. In this way, the plane and the dot are established, and then you will expand your plane over time to penetrate into your line. I believe that with your unremitting efforts, you will certainly do well.
With the establishment of the management system, we should gradually and interestingly participate in some management work. If there are good opportunities, we can also get some training at school, I trained at school for a few years (I have been at the student union and organized a computer science club ). As the saying goes, opportunities are for people who have prepared. Only after you have prepared these preparations in advance can you complete them perfectly when the lead gives you a management task! This will lay the foundation for your future management. Management is also a learning, so I still need to learn. Here I will not talk about how to learn it. Some people may say that I do not know how to learn it, but this aspect is too broad. It is not very clear soon. You can buy related books.
Quality System, which is independent of technology and management in the testing work, is also quality control, which may not be so obvious in some small ranjian companies, however, our Organization has a dedicated quality department to ensure the quality of the test. In fact, this quality control can also be done from the beginning, because some of his things are also very basic, in particular, there are a lot of quality administrators in China who do not quite understand the testing technology. What they need to do is to check the quality points and check them with the cooperation of testers. However, I still think that the quality personnel should be upgraded among the testers because you do not understand the testing technology and control the quality points, and how to properly develop unqualified items, or you can only see things that are not critical, and the real risks are often invisible.
Well, I don't know how much it will be useful to everyone because of so much, but it is my own experience! It is practical for me. Maybe you are in the same situation as me, so it also applies to you. Maybe the situation is different, so you should read a novel !! Haha, sunshine wishes everyone to develop and improve their work!
