Where should the software testing team go in the mobile era?

Mobile era has been a long time, changed a lot of things, today want to talk about the mobile era, the impact of software testers and challenges.

"The test is dead" This is not the first time to hear such a statement, such a statement is correct? I have experienced the process of app projects, have seen some of the app projects, "Test is dead" is not a groundless, have been fortunate to visit the "National Miracle" and its money-making enterprises, their games in the line before the full-time testing staff, why this situation? The first two years, we still do the test in the PC era of joy, how suddenly changed, in the final Jiede is because the production mode of the project has changed, an app production for a few months time, there is room for you to do white box testing, performance testing. External environment changes caused by, no one can change, development is no longer uncle, test is no longer uncle, only products and progress is uncle, so "test has died" is not nonsense.

What should the test team do in this form?

Looking back at the PC era we do things, all kinds of white boxes, black boxes, performance testing, and so on, these can be called "into", this practice in the mobile era has become a slow project factor, since this method is not suitable, then the test team in the mobile era to learn the first thing is "back",
Then what is "retreat"? Do you need testers for a company like the People's miracle? The Test team took it all away? This "retreat" is too tragic, but if the test team does not change it will die like this.

"Retreat" is the first to leave the solution, and then back, capacity to explain a few more, now app development has entered the "assembled" mode, app developers as long as the focus on their core business, and other peripheral things a lot of out-of-the-box solutions, they have or the SDK or API form, then the Test team is the same, Leave the test solution (ie: SDK, API, tools available) and then "Rewind" to the back line.

Learn to "back", then see "into", "back" after the test team to move forward, with the previous "retreat", the test team can be new technology, targeted issues, complex environment in a specific problem or phenomenon in-depth understanding of learning to solve the project in the face of some tough times, can play a role.

In short: Back: Do the product of things, common things, the test cost to the lowest, and have the ability to produce value, left to test product solutions, help not to mess up.
In: Ready to prepare for the final quality of the project Daying Zhang good off. Roll up your sleeves and pull up your legs.

The subject is clear, so is this change easy? This process again "into", Technology update learning is just the tip of the iceberg

This is a group of products downstream of the work, the technical ability of the test personnel, after all, is the tester, has not done the product, for testing things outside the most are on paper, which will have a great challenge to the tester's thinking and mentality,
Ask the mind and mentality more open, positive, learn how to do the product, the mentality, the change of thinking is the biggest test, the ant to kill the elephant here.

More is open, not only to the internal, good things to benefit the industry, the internal and external division will be smaller, if more office, network interoperability will be very troublesome, drag the progress of the project to open the mentality of the industry to make a point of contribution,
Also must do, the Chinese is particularly clever, you do not need, will be done, and will do smarty pants, each subdivision of the solution will be someone to do, and will certainly be in the form of companies to do.

Manual testers will be reduced to very little, but must be more than the test developers, the test is dead, although some extreme, but it is not unreasonable, the tester is no longer solely responsible for the development, no longer solely responsible for the specific project, but also to their own responsibility to the industry, each test job, Have their own challenges and opportunities to face, individuals and teams to see the direction of change as soon as possible.

Just write here, and then expand and say it is too broken.
