The future of software testing in my heart

Recently, we have found that everyone is talking about the future of software testing. You have also talked about it and it is a big talk. So what is the future of software testing in my heart? In fact, it has never changed. Testing intelligence.

Testing automation is not a silver bullet, and many people now know it. Why not? There are many specific reasons, but the root cause is that automation is a derivative of intelligent development, or a transitional product. It cannot solve the problem of testing from the root. The biggest problem with automation is the high threshold and high maintenance costs.

So where is the development direction? Testing dummies. That is to say, the threshold for testing the inbound traffic will be very low, and the use of various skills to master various tools is very simple, so there is no need to spend a lot of learning costs, the maintenance test output does not require a large amount of manpower and material resources. For example, the keyword-driven technology proposed by a test tool aims to make the script easy to write and create a new script and simply modify the old script. The "cloud testing" on the dust is actually a silly representative.

In the future, we will be able to test intelligence. On this day, most of our testing tasks do not need to be completed manually. No matter who has the test requirements, we only need to run the next test command on the machine, the machine "cannot perform tests" to complete all the tests.

Therefore, I personally think that the development direction of software testing should be automation-> dummies-> intelligence.

Is there a striking similarity in the history of human society? Therefore, I always say that we should not talk about the testing industry independently. It cannot break away from the background of human civilization in human society. It may take a long time to reach the destination, but the direction is correct. With the explosive growth of science and technology in today's society, I firmly believe that I can live to see that day.
