The previous ： Talk about the test platform — Discussion on construction mode

As mentioned earlier, there are usually two modes of test platform construction , One is the special technology incubation test platform , The other is the business requirements generation test platform . No matter what mode it is , The most fundamental result is to make a valuable test platform that can meet the needs of the current stage . Sometimes these two modes are not so clear , It may even be mixed , Specifically, it should be flexibly adopted in combination with the current situation of the organization . Today we continue to explore “ Multi industry direction and multi business form ” Construction of test platform under scenario （ The following example ： company B）.

“ Multi industry direction and multi business form ” scenario , The main problems faced by the construction of test platform include ：

（1） The test scenarios that need to be supported are different , Even quite different

（2） Different business forms may have different R & D and delivery methods , Different R & D and delivery methods will lead to the test process 、 Test scenarios 、 There are great differences in testing strategies

（3） The management strategies and concepts of different businesses are inconsistent , The management and use of test pieces may also be quite different

（4） Under different business forms , Test maturity may also be inconsistent

A good testing platform often needs to solve three demands ： Demands on testing ability , Test efficiency and test effect （ depth ） On the demand , Management and normative demands .“ Multi industry direction and multi business form ” scenario , It is difficult to meet these three demands at the same time . Scenes that need support 、 Different testing strategies , It means different demands for ability ; The testing process and management strategy are different , It means that each business has different demands for management and standardization ; Inconsistent test maturity , It means that the current problem levels to be solved by the demander are different , Or some are pursuing efficiency , Or some are pursuing depth , Or some are still pursuing ability from scratch . So here comes the question , Since it's so troublesome , Why do we need to build a test platform ？ If you want to , How do you do it? ？ What kind of platform should be done ？ How to avoid these problems in the process of doing ？ Here I'll just throw away my point of view , Later, we will elaborate these views in combination with our practical experience .

First , Fully analyze the current situation , If the test platform can solve a class of business problems and ROI Relatively reasonable , Then we need to build a platform . But don't expect to satisfy all businesses , We can speculate which businesses can be satisfied in the future in combination with the business evolution , What business needs to be met in the future . Remember not to be short-sighted in the process , On the one hand, combined with the development of business , On the other hand, combined with the development of business technology , The test platform should not only meet the current demands , And face the future , Otherwise, the design and implementation of the platform will be too conservative , It is not conducive to the continuous support of the business ,ROI After a certain stage, it will show a downward trend .

secondly , Don't expect all testing platforms to be done at the company level , There may be few platforms available at the company level , Not even , This often depends on business development . Ideally , Companies often need to build platforms with high commonality , But with some business development , The demand for personalization is becoming stronger , These company level test platforms will become increasingly difficult to maintain commonality through platform planning , It is necessary to build and organize the testing platform at the company and business levels . Later, we will discuss in detail the division of labor and responsibilities of the two-level test platform construction organization , What kind of platform to do at the company level , What kind of platform does it at the business level , What is the relationship between company level and business level . Reasonably plan the two-level platform construction organization , It can effectively adjust the contradiction between various demands .

Last , Don't expect to solve and avoid all problems in the construction of the test platform , The nature of many problems cannot be solved in the field of testing , It may rise to R & D 、 Business and even company management . for instance , Several businesses in a company also do Internet APP Types of products , Their test maturity 、 Why is the test specification different , Why is the difference so great , Are some support systems not done well ？ Are some management requirements not met ？ Can we solve these problems first ？ Don't expect to reveal these problems in the process of building a platform .

Now more and more enterprises begin to diversify , The business field has also developed from a single aspect to multiple related fields , Even cross-border to other non related fields , Our company is the same . In this context , We need to constantly think about the construction logic of the test platform , Looking for a more reasonable construction method .
