What is test development? Can you find a job at this stage?

Preface

Recently, I started to submit my resume , Apart from development , Alas, I saw the position of test development , What position is this , I can't do anything like this , But can the fresh students who know more about it be rescued ？

1. My first impression of test development

The name is the combination of testing and development , Estimates are based on tests , Do some development tasks , Improve the efficiency and quality of testing .

2. What is a test

The test I know is ： It is a series of test operations on the software , Detect the presence of bug, And write a test plan , The test case , Ensure that the product can work normally , Steady running , go online .

Understanding some knowledge of testing :

• White box testing : It's a test method , The short description is , Software is a transparent white box , You can see the inside of the software , So we can design use cases according to the internal operation principle of the software .
• Black box testing : It is also a test method , It's also called functional testing , Test the function of the software , specifications , Whether it is consistent with the original expectation .
• unit testing : Is the basic unit of testing , Generally, it is for a certain function , A certain class , To test .
• Test the pyramid model :UI test , The interface test , unit testing .
• 1. I understand that unit tests have found some basic problems ,
• 2. Do a lot of interface testing , To solve the interface api Of bug, Compared to unit testing , It may not be that low , But it can shorten the time of product testing .
• 3. UI test , Test some ui The layout of , Function , Is it reasonable? , It works , Meet the expected requirements .

3. What is test development ？

I understand , Test Development , Is a tester with certain development ability , But the core is still around testing .

• There are many manual tests in the testing process , Manual testing may be more accurate at some times , But when too many manual tests are repeated , It will be very cumbersome , At this time , We need to combine the script to , Write some scripts instead of our repeated tests , Improve our testing speed , quality , Be commonly called , automated testing .
• I am interested in the test development position , Should have the ability to understand :
• 1. Have a certain understanding of development , At testing time , Experience in development , Can better find potential bug.
• 2. Relative to testing , Make testing more efficient , At the same time, it can occasionally guide the development of more convenient tests .
• 3. For some testing tools , Further development , Improve test efficiency .
• The conclusion is , Development and testing , The test is given priority to , Supplemented by development , Exist side by side and play a part together , Increase of efficiency , Shorten the product cycle .

4. Development , test , Test Development , Similarities and differences

Difference ：

• Development ： Need to master more basic , More solid computer expertise , Have a deeper understanding and experience in a certain field .
• From the perspective of demand , You need to be able to complete the business logic as much as possible , Focus on Realization .

---

• test : Ordinary tests , You don't need to master too many programming techniques , Is more of a , Product sensitivity , Have your own ideas , From the point of view of other users , Find out the software like a prick bug.
• From user , Product perspective , Focus on finding the imperfections .

---

• Test Development : Need some programming skills , can review Product code .
• Be able to write unit tests, etc , Share part of the development work .
• Just like the test , Master some common testing tools , And have the ability of secondary development .

The same thing ：

• Both need to have a good understanding of the product
• They all need to have enough enthusiasm for the products , Love technology .
• The ability to master new things is fast , Strong learning ability .

5. I understand at this stage

The above is my understanding of test development , Now let's talk about it in combination with my own situation Test Development This job .

Comparative development , My weakness

• Although I don't want to admit , But really in the basic knowledge of computer , I am lacking , I know something about , But they are not thorough enough , At the same time, there is no relevant practical experience to support .
• I didn't consider studying in college java, stay java The main force in job hunting , It doesn't look good enough , But yes python But I love it ,go This back-end language , It works , But I also know that I am not skilled enough .

Compare the test , My strengths

• Compared with traditional testing , Have a certain level of technical knowledge and ability , Be able to understand the developed code .
• Yes python I have a good command of this kind of script language ,python It is very friendly to the test .
• Have a certain understanding of the development process , Because I am also interested in this aspect .

Test Development , For me,

Consider your own strengths and weaknesses

Become development ：

• My development level does not have an advantage , There are not enough experience advantages , Education is not enough .

---

Become test development

• Test Development , I use many and familiar python It may be more suitable for testing and development .
• My lack of theory , Not as rigorous as development , At the same time, I have certain development ability , Not directly pass fall .
• Test Development , I can also pursue the improvement of technical level , Meet my pursuit and passion for Technology .
• On the testing side , There's a basic understanding , I am also confident that I can quickly master the use of various tools .

Conclusion

• For near large factories , Test development may be one of my better choices at this stage .
• Also, I can touch Daniel , Before the pressure , Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade , The best way to grow fast .

Writing becomes a self recommendation article , Maybe this is the anxiety of graduates , Possessed .
