Software tester-where is your path?

 

 

Previously, I was a happy tester in a city in central China. I was not busy at work and curious about all technologies. Tests are neither professional nor important. But I have my own happiness. When I am not busy at work, I will learn Performance Testing + LoadRunner today and learn automatic selenium tomorrow. The boss said, do a performance test on our project. Then, I ran to ask Baidu, Google, and my friends in the group about what tools and environments I needed, what indicators I mainly looked at, and then sent me two report templates, the task has been handed in. Suddenly, I became interested in automation. I was so busy searching for videos, materials, and books. I found that I want to know the language. I have time to watch the video. I was very excited when I used struts2 to write a login for the first time. Foreground -- background -- Middleware -- database. Oh! In the past, the user logged on, and our system was running like this. Haha. Very happy! Then I went back to automation. When I recorded a script with qtp for the first time and ran it, I smiled at the screen. It was like a computer was manipulated by hackers, and all the operations were useless.

Later, I heard that the world outside is wonderful. For a restless heart, I am still young and cannot be confined to killing myself in this leisurely life. Some people say that the five years of graduation are very important. The five years of graduation will make the distance between students very far away. In addition, after five years, you can see what you look like for the rest of your life. Therefore, you cannot enter the starting line in the past five years. This is the starting line of a real life, and the scores of the school are not worth mentioning. Then, I came to the big city, where my salary is more than doubled. There are professional teams, standardized processes, testing and development. I should be glad that we have been valued and found the value of our work.

Where is your path?

Complicated business, because I have been familiar with the businesses of various tested systems, various documents, requirements, and use cases every day. The first round -- the second round -- the third round -- the report -- Summary. You are very busy every day, sometimes in order to catch up with the system online, or even need to work overtime. You have no time to learn new technologies. Then, when you get used to this salary, you will find that he is getting less and more out of use, waiting for a meager salary adjustment every year, maybe enough to catch up with the price increase. After three to five years, you want to change your job to raise your salary. What is the capital you need to pay? We are sorry for the standard process. Our company process is different from your previous one. Familiarity with the business. Sorry, our company's business is different from your previous one. You also need to learn new processes and businesses.

Oh! Oh! I will interview test supervisors and managers. Do you have any management experience? How do you coordinate the entire team?

Oh! Oh! Then I learned how to test performance or automate my work. At this moment, your embarrassment will come out, and you are almost thirty. I understand performance and automation because I don't have much project experience. Depending on your situation, you can only apply for "Beginner" performance or automated tester. The initial salary may not be higher than your current salary. What are you doing? Or give up? Finding a job that is lower than the current salary is not just determined by yourself (you have a home behind it)

Because when I first got to a strange city, my first job, salary, and experience at the same age, had similar technical skills. As a result, I have been curious about the price of my friend who is testing fast-moving three. I will make an assessment of the status of my friend after three to five years. Of course, there are various factors that determine the price. I just want to know a common phenomenon. So I asked a friend of mine who was just a few years old.

 

Three phases of advanced testing

I will divide the test into three phases! At present, I can only see three stages with my mouse views.

Friends who just entered the test should all belong to the first stage, with a high salary of 2 to 3 K. Of course, the salary is also lower or higher. It is probably in the first stage, and most of them are not professional in testing the company. As a result, I was curious about various testing technologies and enthusiastic about them.

Then, after one to three years of work, the job will jump to the second stage, and the salary will also look like 5 to 6 K, because they have work experience, it should not be particularly difficult to find the salary at this price. Basically, everyone can go from the first stage to the second stage, but it takes a long, short, one year of qualification, and three years of qualification. I don't mean to despise anyone. Of course, it depends on opportunities and so on. It mainly depends on the speed and degree of your understanding of the testing technology.

I have positioned the third stage as more than yuan, and moved from the second stage to the third stage without any direct connection with the working life, who can tell me that my eight years of work is definitely better than six years of work, but most of my three years of work is better than one year of work. This stage is quite long. It is a gap between the second and third stages. There are not many companies and positions that can offer you this price. What's more, you need unique skills in this industry that most people do not possess.

Of course, I was thirty years old in these three stages, and the development of Testing Technology in China is also very short. Few people who have specialized in ten years of testing.

What is the status when you are thirty years old?

Figure: I took a photo when I got out of the company when I worked overtime. I prefer the night view of the city. Unfortunately, the mobile phone is not powerful! Ah, I am getting to take my blog as a master.
