Software test----in my Eyes (ii) testing what to do

The span of one and two is very large, 1 years of time

Many people don't think too much of a problem after stepping into the company

Things to do are generally the tasks assigned by the leadership, the completion of the task is all right

In fact, the rest of the work may be a quiet mind to think of such a problem

What the test is doing

Believe that everyone has their own standard answer, or some people have their own ideas but do not know how to express themselves in words

Likewise, I have my own knowledge.

Before that, let's start with something that's been going on for less than 1 hours.

The project manager mood Gray often bad to come to my work area, found the so-and-so group of somebody responsible

Because one of the missing cases 2 years ago proved to be a bug in existence today, and it's a simple counter-example.

The person who wrote this module was no longer here, the head of the group was like a cloud of clouds (2 years ago I was in that group to test)

It's not known how things will end up, but what I'm looking at right now is the state of this happening.

Why is it missing, or more accurate to write, and it is often a simple case of ash

What is the reason? There will be many, 2 years ago the matter who can know, may be careless, may be about to write, suddenly something to leave, and so on to forget, and perhaps the thought of writing a case cured, holding a similar case copy to make appropriate changes;

Go back to the topic of this article and test what's being done

The answer is too many, you will tell me to find defects, quality assurance, etc.

I think the test is doing innovation, it's the innovation of the tester

If this is a stage, maybe I will be tomatoes, rotten leaves are covered with, and accompanied by the "nonsense", "tear" words

Fortunately here is a blog, you can write something you want to write, you want to say

What the test is doing. Testing teaches you to be upright but to be in time for compromise, testing to teach you rigor but not rigid, testing to teach you carefully but not ink

Holding the equivalence class, carrying the boundary value, guarding the cause and effect diagram, guarding the lane map, sorry brother, you will not grow

Testing to grow is not only the test knowledge, not only the ability to write a case, not only the skills of automated script debugging

More important is the innovation of human nature

Once I thought mastered the test skills, automation knowledge can be brave to test the difficulties

But later found that skills are just one of the required capabilities, or even the weak part, because now the new employees have not even participated in the test training, have not heard the test work, can still be competent for the work of the leadership arrangement, after all, the basic work of testing is really simple

So after repeated thinking, I personally think that the test is not in the mind of the bug prince, but should be true villain, pseudo-gentleman.
