Inner monologue from a female test engineer...

Simple words reveal the truth of the workplace!Let's take a look at the workplace heart of this female test!

01. Gender Benefits

When I first started working, I quickly became familiar with the business, sorted out project requirements, and designed test cases. Leader and colleagues really helped a lot. After getting started, they were basically self-reliant.

I have the experience of finding bugs until 1 or 2 in the morning, and I have also rushed to the computer with dark circles under my eyes when I went online all night.

There are programmers all around, and their minds are relatively simple, and no one will care too much about your gender.

It really answers that sentence: treat women as men, and men as shengkou.(I hope the boss won't see it)

PS: On the Internet, when a female programmer makes a bug, and the colleagues in the circle help to find it, it's a piece of shit!Anyway, I haven't enjoyed this kind of treatment for a few years.

However, there are benefits.For example, I can often have exclusive use of the luxurious 6-pit bathroom on our floor, queue up?nonexistent.On the 38th Festival, you will receive gifts, usually silk scarves without any decoration, or a flower + chocolate.

02. About bugs

There is such a joke: If there is a car accident on the road, if the driver is a man, it is because he is not skilled.

If the driver is a woman, it's just because it's a woman.

This shows more or less sexism.

For closely related bugs, if other male testers can't find out the bugs, the leaders often criticize them.

If it is my fault, the attitude of the leader often becomes difficult to figure out, the kind of person who wants to criticize but dare not criticize, as if he has suffered a lot of grievances.

This status quo may be difficult to change in the short term.

Sometimes, because a requirement was not communicated clearly, I made a mistake.So I dragged the test director to work overtime until late at night,

The test director is a very logical person, his logic is very simple:

If a tester makes a fuss, it's because he's not good at school.

If a female tester stabs her, it's because she's a woman.

03. The unstoppable development brother

It is said that testing has a natural enemy, development!

Our normal workflow is: you raise bugs→development finds reasons→development finds code problems→development modification;

There are only two female testers in our group. When a problem is detected, most of the time they call me, "Xiaoyuexia, it's time for you to be cute" and ask me to communicate with the developers pitifully

Otherwise, development is like "I have no problem here", "Is there a problem with your environment", "Come here, you come to reproduce" or tell you a bunch of development terms that you can't understandkind.

Comparatively speaking, it is easier and more convenient for female testers to communicate with developers, and it also saves communication costs and communication needs.

04. About Dressing

#Everyone make up your own brains!

Interviewing my director + technical manager + programmer, all in uniform shirts.

I was not embarrassed at that time, not embarrassed at all...

So after I joined the company, I also bought a batch of plaid shirts and striped shirts in different colors.She is often teased by her girlfriends as a hospital gown.

I seldom wear makeup at ordinary times. Once, I did makeup for a friend's wedding and went to work afterward.Then when I got off work, the programmer brother next to me said to me: You seem to have washed your hair today?

I...

Perhaps in their eyes, the world of code is the most beautiful.No wonder there are so many single dogs, hum~~

05. About looking for a single person

As a matter of fact, most of the people around me are single.

I don't know why, but the IT world is probably one of the last groups to get married.

I have observed most of our company's surrounding areas, whether they are developing, testing, operating and maintaining products, most of them are single and dead...

Once a friend introduced a boy.

Thick glasses, carrying a computer bag.You need to follow the mobile phone navigation at all times when walking.

I can't talk about football and basketball, and finally my eyes shine when I talk about technology...

So we talked about technology for more than an hour, starting with automated testing tools, and finally talking about performance optimization,

Open the computer for on-site verification in the disputed place halfway,

The girlfriend next to her drank two cups of milk tea and went to the bathroom three times, but she didn't say a word.

She later recalled: You are not going for a blind date, you are going for an interview~~

Well, I've noticed that the skill tree has grown quite a bit.

Trust me, testers are very suitable for girls, come on, don't leave my sister alone.

Now I invite you to join our software testing learning exchange group: [746506216], note "join the group", everyone can join togetherDiscuss and communicate software testing, learn software testing techniques, interviews and other aspects of software testing together. There will also be free live classes to gain more testing skills. Let's advance Python automated testing/test development together and move towards a high-paying careerroad.
