Software testing Q & A

The two positions of software testing and test development need to be distinguished
software test : Is to test the requirements of this software
Test Development : It is to develop some scripts for those who test 、 Software or something

What is software testing

Summarize software testing :

1. Verify that the function works properly
   2. Verify whether the function meets user needs

practice :
Test the login function of a software and write test cases

Can software test points be exhaustive ?
Software testing is just a sample test , There is no way to exhaust , There is no way to conduct a complete test . Software testers should ensure that the main （ Commonly used ） Correctness of functions and core processes .

The difference between software testing and software development ???
(1) Development requires a high degree of professionalism and depth , Skills are relatively concentrated
(2) Testing requires a wide range of skills 、 Low professionalism
(1)

For example, developers When using some data structures , He needs to understand the bottom of those data structures in order to write better code , But testers are using some app When testing, you don't need to understand the underlying , Just know how to use it .

Some software that testers need to use, such as :

Interface : soupUl postman jmeter
automated testing : java Python , unittest , testNGrobotFramework selenium Performance testing tools : loadrunner jmeter
Grab the bag :Charles fiddler( Analog weak network )APP test : appium Macaca
And testers only need to be able to use these tools , No, don't go to the bottom

(2) How easy it is
This has been said before , Development must be harder than testing
(3) Salary situation
For small and medium-sized factories . The salary of testing is lower than that of development , The words of Dachang are the same
(4) What is the difference between software testing and debugging in software development ?

Software debugging It is the programmer who verifies whether the function of the software is realized
Software testing is for testers to verify whether they meet the needs of users
One is to satisfy yourself , One is to satisfy users

Software debugging :
Developer role :
software test : Testers + Developer ( White box testing , Code related )

Stage : Software debugging : The development phase
software test : Throughout the whole software development process , There are software tests everywhere
( Software testing is carried out after the development is completed , This sentence is wrong )

practice :

In fact, there are many small parts in the whole process , Every part may have problems , And these problems are not necessarily exhaustive , But we try to think more about , And it needs to be solved after consideration , Only in this way can we meet the needs and experience of users .

Then in the next test course : We should cultivate two abilities
(1) Test case design
(2) Master automatic testing technology

Three important questions
(1) What is software testing

To verify whether the functions of the software meet the needs of users .
Because no matter what kind of users are doing for us   direct / indirect   Create benefits .

（2）

1、 Purpose is different

Software debugging , The programmer verifies that the software does what he wants it to do .
software test ： The tester verifies whether the software meets the user's requirements

2、 Different roles

Software debugging ： Pure developers do
software test ： Developer + Developer , To do this together ！
In software testing , Developers mainly do White box testing （ Code related ）

3、 Different stages

Software debugging ： The development phase
software test ： The whole stage 【 From production to release 】： Throughout the whole software development process , Development process , There are software tests everywhere .
So to speak ： Code can run , The function is indeed realized , But it does not meet the needs of users ？ not always ！！！

Why choose the position of software testing

Starting from one's own ability , Analyze your own strengths .
1、 Comprehensive ability ： A word description , Development , communicate
2、 Yes Automated test technology Degree of mastery
3、 Excellent test case design ability 【 It is the record of analyzing problems 】
4、 Exploratory thinking 【 Help you improve The ability to design test cases 】
