What is the strength of a software testing engineer who can get a salary increase twice a year?

I remember when I first started as a tester , I belong to the kind of employee who is very hardworking and hard-working , As a newcomer, I want to be appreciated by the leaders , Second, I want to get started quickly , So I dare not waste a minute , Even when you eat and go to the bathroom, you have to learn business with your mobile phone .

So there is a long stage , Almost every day, I am the first in the team to arrive at the company , The last one to leave work . Although tired , But I'm quite down-to-earth , At least in my work, I'm worthy of myself …
And Liu Gong, a colleague in the group , Generally, they go to and from work on time , Even if the project schedule is urgent , He seldom works overtime , Except in special circumstances , He just worked overtime , But it will also complete the task quickly .

If measured by the degree of diligence and the length of working hours , I think I'm much more active than Liu Gong . Logically speaking , I'm so active , The workload should be more than that of Liu Gong , It's not , The task assigned to me by the leader is compared with that of Zhang Gong , I have less than him …

Liu Gong used to do outsourcing testing , Later I went to byte automation test , After accumulating enough knowledge and self-study , Just transfer to test and develop , At that time, he was a multi skilled man , He can do what the project arranges him to do , The salary is also higher year by year .1 The salary also increased during the year 2 Time , Many people praise from the inside out

From the code he submitted , His code is not only standard but also elegant , The big one doesn't say , It can encapsulate some basic controls , And expanded , Convenient for other developers to call , I already admire it .

And what I call working long hours , In fact, most of the time is to build wheels repeatedly , Repeat the same function , Not only is there no encapsulation , There's a lot of redundant code , With a studious and academic attitude , At that time, I applied to do a project with him , Organize your project into a test framework to learn selenium, The structure of the website , Code knowledge , knowledge , Network bottleneck , system optimization , Optimize scripts , To design the scene , To get the number of target users , To carry out , To analyze the stress results . Working together for a long time , I learned a lot from him , It can also solve problems more efficiently , Sure enough , Less overtime each time …

I combine my own experience , Made some summary and learning methods , I hope it can help you .

Learning route ： Use of test tools ->Python Programming -> The test framework -> Test framework development

One 、 Use of test tools

The first is the use of testing tools , For example, I'm going to web Automation is whether I want to build an automated test environment , Environmental tools . For example, install Python install , These environments are installed .
as for AppUI automation , In addition to some of the above skills, you should also be able to, for example adb The order of ,app Environment ,app Stress tests and so on .

Interface test is also a kind of function test , But it doesn't mean functional testing , Because the interface test is also divided into 1. Interface function test （ You need tools to test ）;2. Interface pressure test ;3. Interface security testing . Moreover, the function test of the interface needs to be completed with the help of tools , There are tools, such as ：Postman、Jmeter; Tools to capture bags fiddler etc. .

Two 、Python programing language

The ability of the programming language will determine the depth of your testing technology , What I learned at that time was Python Language , Anyone who knows programming knows Python Friendly to new people , It will be simpler than other programming languages .
I found a lot of learning materials and learning videos on the Internet , But you will encounter a lot of problems , No one can help me answer , There is also a lot of programming related knowledge , I don't know much about , It's hard to learn by yourself . It's easy to get started and give up .

So it's also a learning community looking for that kind of software testing everywhere , I was lucky to meet a technical leader in the testing industry , Into a very good learning and communication group , There are a lot of people who want to be promoted like me , So we all study together , Any problems will be discussed in the group 、 Technical communication , This also greatly improves the learning efficiency .

Python It is the first step of software testing , We need to master Python Programming syntax , Have certain coding ability , Prepare for basic automated testing , Secondly, we should master Python Application in Automation 、 Master the function encapsulation of code 、 Class encapsulation skills .

3、 ... and 、 The test framework

We also need to understand the testing framework ,Selenium,appium,unittest,pytest, These are some open source frameworks. You should know at least one or two of them .

For example, do WebUI In terms of Automation , I want to understand Selenium+python; do AppUI In terms of Automation , I want to understand appium+python.

If it is for interface testing, it must be necessary to build an interface framework , such as ：requests.

Test framework development

Generally, the birth process of a framework will go through three stages ：

1. Learn how to use

Have a general understanding of the use of the framework , You can look at the official documentation of the framework , Generally, there are detailed introductions , After installation, you can start trying to use it directly as a project .

2. Read the source code

Want to improve their ability 、 Achieve advanced effect , Of course, it can't be limited to the use level of the framework . You need to spend more weeks or even months reading the source code of the framework , This is helpful to deal with and troubleshoot various problems in the process of using the framework .

3. Self research framework

The requirements of self-developed framework are relatively high , Generally, enterprises have high requirements for performance , All open source or commercial frameworks cannot meet the needs of the company before they embark on the road of self-development . We can try to analyze the performance bottleneck of the whole framework , Replace key modules with higher performance languages , Or use to find 、 Research better algorithms to achieve key functions .

According to this learning architecture route , Constantly explore and improve , Break through the bottleneck of technology , so to speak , It's a process that's going to kill you , But as long as you get through it . Life will be much easier in the future . It's just that it's hard at the beginning , Just take the first step , You're halfway there , When we look back on this journey after it's finished , You're bound to feel a lot . I've come a long way , To get more high paying jobs , It pays off , It can also be regarded as a recognition of my ability , Really proved their value . At least after tax 30+ My salary is satisfactory in my current state .

If you want to develop performance testing in the automation test engineer stage , There will be more requirements , In fact, performance is also a kind of Automation . So first you have to master a programming language , The second language script , The third indicator , The fourth tuning .

These materials , For friends who do software testing, it should be the most comprehensive and complete war preparation warehouse , 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 …….

I wish everyone can get the heart offer~~
