How long does software testing take?

How long you study depends entirely on how you study ？

Zero foundation learning software testing is nothing more than three cases , First, there is the great God belt , Second, pure self-study , Third, find training institutions .

If there is a great God who can take you to do the test , Then you don't have to worry about any time , Basically follow the great God to do one or two projects , You can enter the industry completely , Because the threshold of software testing is not high . Of course, you must also study hard and be in the process of doing the project , Explore the mysteries of software testing by yourself , In this way, your growth will be much faster .

If you have such a great God of technology around you , Then you must cherish , Don't think about time , Direct personal commitment , The future is bright .

But then again , Most people want to work in the software testing industry , Basically, there may be some friends around who are engaged in software testing , Or it is also trained by some institutions , Then I feel that this industry is not bad , I want to try to change my career , What I have to consider here is , Is it self-study or training ？

Many people think that software testing doesn't need training , Self study is also possible , What the new brother wants to say here is , There is nothing wrong with self-study , If your understanding ability and practical ability , And if you have strong self-control , Then there is no problem for you to study by yourself , However, the self-study cycle is usually very long , Basically, it starts half a year , You can really understand software testing . But in the process , You need a lot of project practice , Otherwise, I only learn some theoretical knowledge , Did not use actual combat in the project , Then in the process of going to the enterprise interview , May be directly ignored by enterprises , After all, software testing is an information technology post , So it's definitely not good to only understand theory .

If it's phase fast , And get a satisfactory salary , Then find a reliable training institution , That's different , Basically, you can successfully enter the industry in about two and a half months , And you can get a good salary during the interview .

Getting started with software testing also requires a lot of knowledge .

Although many people say that the threshold of software testing is relatively low , But software testing is also a technical position , The low threshold is only relative , To really fit the reality , In fact, every one of us is a software testing engineer , Because we use a lot of software every day , To enrich our daily life , So in the process of using , It can be seen as a pure manual bit by bit test engineer , But if you want to rely on this skill to eat , Get a high salary , Then we need to learn more professional knowledge systematically .

Advantages and disadvantages of self-study ：

advantage ： You can control your study time , Learning time is relatively free . And most self-taught people study when they are on the job , It won't cost too much money .

shortcoming ： It requires great self-control , If you decide in the morning 5 Students who can't get out of bed with an alarm clock , I suggest you don't consider self-study , I can't hold on . Three minutes of hot blood when you see the knowledge map needed for software testing , It's cool in a second .

In addition, what self-taught people learn is not necessarily what they can use in their work . You can find a lot of software testing related knowledge on the Internet , But as Xiaobai, you can't distinguish which are the key points to master , It's OK to know what you can't work with , Learning without focus will cause a waste of time .

Studied hard for half a year , During the interview, I was still confused X, Just didn't learn the point .

Another point ,90% All self-study scholars will be directly discouraged by a question during the interview , Project experience . On this one , It will make you despair . Swimming team recruitment , I'm sure I won't hire a dry duck who hasn't been underwater , A truth .

Advantages and disadvantages of training and class registration ：

advantage ： Someone supervises learning , Don't give up halfway . Someone wakes you up every day , You won't be unable to get up .

The knowledge learned is the latest , It will be used in work . Targeted will greatly improve your learning efficiency and shorten your learning time .

The most important point , The training institution will teach you hands-on practice in the course , Let your resume have project experience , Let you talk with the interviewer during the interview .

shortcoming ： Spend money .

Many people blow up when they see money , I work to earn money , You let me spend money before I work ？

If you really think so , I really haven't been beaten by any society .

In a word , The money you spend now is to buy time and invest in the future . If you don't want to spend that money , Then spend time and energy to get the same result . Of course, it is very likely that you will not get the same result .

Another disadvantage of training institutions is that they cannot distinguish which institution has the highest cost performance . I can teach you a way , Find out about the teachers in the training institution , And whether their course content meets the employment requirements of current enterprises , Instead of talking about some outdated course content , Then it's better to learn by yourself after learning , Is there a real project to fight , It's what we call , Knowledge can be learned , Skills need practice , If you can't practice your knowledge in some real projects , Then it must be useless to learn , So we must polish our eyes , A lot of comparison .

The other thing is that , When selecting institutions , Don't be fooled by some institutions , Say what to pay to audition , Because for zero basis , Basically, I can only listen to some teachers' teaching styles in oneortwo classes , Probably know how professional the teacher is , In fact, there is no loss for them , If you have to pay for the audition , Then don't think about it , Just cut you off as a leek .
