The company recruited a tester with five years' experience and saw the real test ceiling

5 Year test , It should be able to reach the level of Senior Test , That is, not only can you skillfully develop business , But also familiar with project development , test , Debugging and release process , But also should be able to fully grasp the database and other skills , If the skills are higher , Even familiar with advanced skills such as distributed components . Or say , Be a project team leader , Guan Ge 3、4 No one , There should be no problem .

These two days, I talked about it with my friends , Sigh that today's young people are so excellent , At the end of the day , Software testing industry is still a technical position , With the continuous transfer of personnel and graduates crazy into the software testing industry , The ceiling of the industry is also rising , Once those testers who only knew a little bit were more and more difficult to gain a foothold in the industry , It will gradually be replaced by automation test engineers and test development engineers .

My career is the same as most testers , I just graduated from an e-commerce company to outsource functional tests , It should be more than half a year , The work is busy , Spend every day in various business needs and learning , After several years, I found that I was just a functional test engineer , Watching the people around me go farther and farther on the road of technology , And I can only test the function , Anxiety comes naturally , The overall feeling of this job is that I write a lot of test cases , The ability to write test cases by yourself is quite proficient , Testing skills have not improved much , The work that really needs technology has no chance because of insufficient technical ability , I have doubted for several times whether my career planning direction is correct , So I began to reflect , How to go in the future ？

Start to advance

So I began to look for ways to make progress , Start studying various tools ,Postman、Fiddler、Jmeter、Selenium、Appium, Anyway, you can get it online , It's all over , Find these tools , It's very simple and practical to use , It must be easy to get started , At the same time, I began to write my own code , At least don't leave behind what you learned in College , at that time python Tried to write （ The project of your team uses python Written ）, Try to change the style of the front end , It's easy , browser F12, You can change it on it .

Premise BUG Just say that the height of the box is wrong , Now I will say ：overflow Didn't write 、 Box level z-index No, wait , In short, that is , I can point out your shortcomings , I can also provide modification suggestions , This is very fulfilling for me , It can also be seen from the silent attitude of development , My position was elevated all of a sudden ！

Of course, I'm not in a hurry to change jobs , I began to test our project with various tools , I also gave a lot of suggestions to the Department Manager , At that time, the manager should not know much about testing , I was also stunned by what I said , At that time, due to the size of the company and the limitations of products , As a result, automated testing has never been applied to the company's actual combat projects . I think big companies outside have more opportunities , He resolutely offered to leave , Prepare Ali's interview wholeheartedly ！

Successful interview ashore

On the recommendation of my classmates , I signed up xx Organization's Software Testing Courses . Although I have experience in automated testing , However, it is still necessary to enroll in classes for systematic learning , On the one hand, we should strengthen our training , Systematically consolidate the technology stack ; On the other hand , The course content also reassures me , Maybe there will be new gains in the learning process .
In formal learning , It really exceeded my expectations , Necessary to develop a test platform or tool Web front end 、Spring Boot Back end and database design are very systematic , Very practical .

What the teacher said was also very good , My learning process is also very smooth , All the knowledge in class can understand and know how to apply it to work , Especially from 0 To 1 Project analysis for 、 Learning of design and development knowledge , Let me calmly face the development of a new testing tool , Work quickly . After a period of training , I feel more solid in technology . More than one month , From notes to open classes , From projects to various interview questions of predecessors 、 And the previous exam , It's all over , Then focus on those interview questions that appear more frequently , I have made full preparations for this interview ！！

It's hard to avoid some panic at first , Under the guidance of the leaders and technical teachers in the learning exchange group , I have found many technical problems that I have been in contact with , Suddenly there was inexplicable confidence . About a week after the interview , I just 4 I took Ali's automated test post . The interview process is as exciting as taking a roller coaster , Especially on three sides , What a terrible process ！！！ But fortunately, I'm well prepared , Enough to deal with the interviewer's critical and mean questions ！ During the interview , I think the interviewer is most impressed by , In addition to solid skills , And familiarity with the project . Basically , The interviewer asked me questions about the project , I can answer them all , And I can tell you clearly .

From the previous 3K To the present 30k, I believed that , The harder you work, the luckier you are ！ In the future , I also want to make greater progress in technology , Achieve advanced measurement and opening , We should also develop in the direction of advanced development , Finally, of course, if you have the opportunity, you should also work hard at the management post . Understand code better than development , Know more about technology than testing , Such competitiveness , Will be stronger .

My path to automated testing , I can't leave the plan of each stage all the way , Because I like planning and collecting summaries , therefore , My friend and I spent some time to compile the following 《 Automatic test engineer learning route 》, Also sorted out a lot 【 Network disk resources 】, At the end of the article, you can check

The above is a technical path map of Automation Test Engineer I sorted out . I hope you can benefit a lot from this growth process . Comprehensively improve the testing technology , Establish a set of its own technical system . Help you learn and optimize the technology stack , Follow up with advanced and mainstream testing technologies , It brings you more than just the improvement of technology and salary , It's more about changing the tester in IT Status and mentality in the field of Technology , Enhance the technical depth of the testing industry .

Finally, thank everyone who reads my article carefully , The following automatic network disk link is also a very comprehensive one that I spent a few days sorting out , I hope it can also help you in need ！

These materials , For doing 【 software test 】 It should be the most comprehensive and complete war preparation warehouse for advanced friends , This warehouse also accompanied me through the most difficult journey , I hope it can help you ！ Everything should be done as soon as possible , Especially in the technology industry , We must improve our technical skills . I hope that's helpful …….
