For software testers need to have the quality, I think the most important thing is to have certain theoretical knowledge and testing skills, which is the basis of testing work. How should we testers grow in order to be constantly recognized at work?

I will elaborate on the following in the form of questions and answers:

1. Do you have to know the code?

Some factors in the Internet age have led many people to mistakenly think that testing is easy. In fact, testing is not a simple little bit. When the developer submits the completed software to the tester, the tester had better understand the function of the software quickly and thoroughly. You may say that this is the work to be done in the demand phase, but most of the time it is to get ducks on the shelves, so you'd better have some foundation of your own. If you have a certain coding basis, you can better understand the function of the software you want to test and the software and hardware environment you need to test, and you can better communicate with developers about the problems encountered.

2. How do software testers grow?

Many people get confused and don't know how to start when they go to work from school. In fact, now the network is so developed, in-depth understanding of programming can go to CSDN, open source China and other forums, in-depth understanding of testing can go to 51Testing, you can browse more, you will always see a lot of industry information, materials, etc., I suggest you had better participate in it, share some of your learning experience, participate in some activities you are interested in, so that you will grow faster and better.

3. Do you want to have a wide range of job skills or good skills?

There are many kinds of software testing: functional testing, performance testing, automated testing, etc., but many people have access to only one aspect. However, I suggest that it is best to have extensive contact with all aspects of testing. For example, there are many free materials, videos and tools on the automated testing network. At the beginning, you can download the formed tools for trial, and keep learning with the relevant materials. Later, you can study the various automated testing frameworks, and then you can write your own automated testing tools. Through extensive contact with all aspects of knowledge, a clear understanding of the development of the industry and their own interests, choose one of their favorite aspects of in-depth, proficient, you should have become an excellent tester.

What other qualities should a good software tester have?

1. Spirit of exploration: software testers are not afraid to enter an unfamiliar environment and have a strong ability to learn.

two。 Troubleshooting expert: through the surface of things to find the nature of things, from trivial phenomena to find internal connections and laws.

3. Unremitting efforts: software testers keep trying, make a rule for themselves before doing something, and then proceed as planned until they "run into" a defect again.

4. Creativity: testers' job is to come up with creative and even extraordinary ways to find software defects, and there are many facts that are not so obvious.

5. The pursuit of perfection: testers strive for perfection, but know that some can not be timely, not demanding, but try their best to get close to the goal. Everything you do should have a strategy of assigning an indicator or part of a resource to each task, and when that part of the resource is exhausted, stop the task.

6. Accurate judgment: the tester has to decide what to test, when to test, and whether the problem you see counts as a real defect. To constantly improve their professional literacy, in addition to industry knowledge, testing expertise, but also to learn some basic knowledge of the software industry as much as possible, such as operating system, database, program design and development, computer network and so on.

7. Sophisticated and steady: software testers are not afraid of bad news. In fact, to do any work, anything is the same, life is a continuous process of finding and solving problems, there is nothing to be afraid of.

8. Persuasive: software testers should be good at expressing opinions, showing why software defects must be fixed, and expressing their views through practical demonstrations. The quality of testing depends to a large extent on communication skills and the ability to demonstrate your work.

9. Educated in programming. A tester with development experience has a very different understanding and learning speed of the system from a tester with no development experience.

As an excellent tester can bring more commercial value and play a key role, this paper puts forward some practical suggestions to become a good tester, which are based on my observation of many highly respected testers who have professional skills. These suggestions can help you improve your effectiveness and efficiency.

Summary:

For some friends who are particularly confused about the professional development of software testing, I would like to say that with the continuous development of the times, every industry will continue to integrate and change. What we can do is to choose the industry we like and keep learning. Grow into the industry's Daniel. At this time, I believe that you will never lose your job, or even that you will change the software testing industry!
