To be a senior software tester, do you need to be a versatile person? _ Software Testing

Before answering the question, we should find out what kind of ability we should need as a versatile.
I think as a tester, should have four aspects of knowledge: test base, Industry business reserve, testing tools and technology, test management capabilities and experience.
The above four aspects is also a reference for the test staff promotion, of course, the test basis we have to see how much reserves, the other three areas is the direction of our efforts.
The test is based on what all testers should have, and the other three are proficient in a single recruit, proficient in two that can be called a master, proficient in three. Oh, my God!
Industry business knowledge, basically can be called industry, basically its business knowledge is not a year or two years can be clear, such as finance, ERP, supply chain, game
Testing tools and techniques, the big two (performance and automation) that are proficient in testing are already well in the industry, as are security tests, databases, Web tests, and even some other tests. Technology is borderless, and technology has been evolving.
Test management skills and experience, previously believed to be a generalist management, understand some people but can not fine. When the PMP went through the road, it was found that the original project management also had a way to use these methods to do the work naturally.
Now, may I ask: dear friends, do you want to be versatile? Can you still be versatile?
My answer is, business, technology, management of the three major aspects must have reserves, do not because they are not good at what to give up, this is our professional step of money, is qiantu not give up the idea.
Speaking of now, I think I support the all-round versatile this view, but this time is not the topic PK, so I do not need to explicitly support which point of view.
According to my years of experience, a person to complete versatile this strategic goal, we may have the industry, but certainly not many.
Because society has achieved a high degree of division of labor and cooperation characteristics, each person's work has limited his main application is certain aspects of knowledge and skills.
If it is considered a member of the snake-balm, it is either the company's leader (Zhangxiaolong level) or the member of the team jigsaw who is not fixed by the role.
In the NBA, the Snake-balm team has not been at the core of the team, except for James, who has not been able to play five positions or core members of the team.
Today's mainstream culture tells us, to become the core of the team, to be a more professional, with a professional to achieve the recognition of the team, with many to the whole team.
Finally quoted Han in the "wearing a cotton-padded bath" in a paragraph as a conclusion: if now this era can be versatile, that is the luck of exam-oriented education and the misfortune of this era. If there is, he is the king of the people, unfortunately not, so we have to "all" under the word "King" to take away. The Times need only talent.
