I hope my story inspires today’s software testers, especially those who continue to do dot-dot-dot.
You may be wondering, “What are the chances that I can do the same?” Therefore, I will try to be more specific about my decision-making and thinking process and try to be as detailed as possible.
Everyone’s experience is different, but I hope you learned something from mine.
Money will always be an important part of any pursuit in any profession.
A few years ago, the software testing industry is still a tuyere, with the continuous career changers and graduates of the crazy influx of software testing industry, software testing industry “gap” has been basically saturated.
Of course, I am talking about the most basic functional testing job demand has been very few, and automation, performance, security and possibly the future of big data testing, AI testing still exist a lot of opportunities.
In fact, many test practitioners will feel confused about their future development and think that their job is to “click and click”. In fact, this is not the case. Test engineers have their own value.
If you love the industry and plan your career path, it’s possible to make the highest salary in the industry.
“The waves behind the Yangtze River push on the waves before, and the waves before die on the beach”, once a joke that made people laugh, has become a true portrayal of the software testing industry.
Because the software testing industry entry threshold is low, the salary is high, there are constantly fresh blood scour the software testing industry “pioneers”, to us brought very big pressure.
Those who have been in the field for several years, but are still functional testing students face the pressure can be imagined.
At the end of the day, software testing is a technical job. Since it is a technical post, it depends on technology to speak.
Constantly mastering new skills and improving the ability of software testing to “find bugs” has become an urgent problem for software testing practitioners to solve.
As a result, most entry-level functional testers are now moving toward automation, performance, and security.
But there are still many software testing engineers standing at the “crossroads” confused, helpless, can not find their own direction.
All the confusion is because think too much and do too little!
Every practitioner of software testing industry can realize the dilemma they are facing at present, but too few people can make changes in time and adapt to the changes of The Times.
Do most people see themselves wiped out by their industry when they are “lying flat on their face”?
No, the following path will give you inspiration and direction:
Above is I sorted out for you a software test engineer development direction knowledge architecture system diagram. I hope you can benefit a lot from this growth process.
It’s a process that can literally kill you, but once you get through it. The rest of my life is so much easier. As the saying goes, all things are difficult at the beginning. As long as you take the first step, you have already achieved half of the success. As the ancients said, “A thousand miles cannot be traveled without a single step.
“You’ll look back on the journey with a lot of emotion when you’re done.
Here are some of the video resources I’ve collected that have helped me a lot in this process.
If you don’t want to go through the same process of self-learning where you can’t find the material, no one answers your questions, and then give up after a few days, you can join our Python Test Automation Technology forum: 718897738, which has all kinds of software testing materials and technical discussions.
