Testers from the classification, the majority of software testing, and the software industry to divide, and traditional software, embedded software (such as smart wear tape) and the Internet three categories, and because of the increasing popularity of open source software, Internet software has greatly replaced the trend of traditional software, the so-called trend, and we test personnel in the choice of industry, Should take advantage of the trend.
It is obvious that over the past few years, internet companies have sprung up, almost doubled the speed of growth, rapid expansion of the Internet companies at the same time provide a large number of employment opportunities, so this is the choice of the internet industry an advantage. And a lot of entrepreneurial companies also provide us with a lot of career development opportunities, such as you as the first batch of employees into an entrepreneurial company, when the company on the track, rapid expansion, you will be very good career development and unexpected harvest.
After choosing the industry, the next is to be the professional development of the testers. In an interview, we are often asked a question---what is your dream? Oh, no, that's Wang Feng's line, and the HR line is, what's your career plan? I didn't really think about it before, and this is really the problem we should face.
From the level of testing, can be divided into three categories, at the highest level, but also the largest number of testers---functional testing, and functional testing is mostly manual testing, that is, we often self-deprecating "dot point." This is also the majority of the manual function test misunderstanding and prejudice, in fact, can really put "dot point" do well, is not so easy things. The next layer of functional testing is interface testing, where interface testing is closer to the code logic than functional testing, easier and faster to find flaws in the system, and higher yields using automated tests. At the bottom of the service-side test, the server is the most important part of the Internet software, but also the most core part of the Internet, most of the business processing logic on the service side. People often say, "People go high, water flows to the low," and in the choice of career development is the opposite way, we have to go to the "bottom". In these three levels, the more down the road, the higher the technical capacity required, the more able to reach the core, the more they can reflect their own value (irreplaceable).
Therefore, when we choose career development or job-hopping, it is best to choose a promising industry and go to the "low" direction.
