Five years after graduation, I became a test development engineer with an annual salary of 30w+

2022-07-01 16:04:00 【TEST_ Two black】

My first job was to get so much , It mainly focuses on functional testing .

I used about 6 Years of time , Become an annual salary 30w+ Test development .

Review my growth path from functional testing to test development , Basically accompanied by “3 Second capability leap ” Realized .
Insert picture description here

enter a profession

Into a small company , At the beginning , I don't know anything , It starts with the simplest manual test . What you do most every day is ： Write test cases > Submit bug> Return to bug.

I didn't understand this at first , I feel I have something to gain , however 3 After a month , These things are familiar , There will be a sense of wasting time .

In addition, in each submission bug When , Confirm the environment , Some more bug It can't be reproduced , On the one hand, it is always rejected by development , On the other hand, I have to work overtime .

That's when I thought , Can you stop the development from , Can you not work overtime ？ At this time, I began to cultivate my internal skills

The first leap in ability begins

The first is to look at the requirements document , Only by understanding the needs , To know what the purpose of designing this function is , Then we can judge whether the problem is bug, After doing this , To some extent, it reduces the situation of being developed , Even if it's tearing , There is also a certain basis ;

The second is to look at the design documents developed , Of course, I may not show you when I'm not familiar at first . You study his business logic , To roughly judge this bug How did it come about , Then it can reproduce and locate bug.

Of course , This process is certainly not so smooth . The first is because you have to take the initiative to learn and study things beyond your ability , We must settle down and study ; The second is when I first came into contact with these new things , Dealing with problems will not be so perfect , To withstand the pressure of doubt ; The third is when you ask for advice or discuss with developers , We must face the contempt and indifference of development ; The fourth is that learning will take up a lot of your time , Overtime is inevitable .

This process may 1-2 year , Then you can check and locate the problem yourself , Submit bug Then development won't look for you anymore , Products and development are beginning to look at you with new eyes .

In finding the identity to do the test , Determined to continue to develop towards testing , I also feel that there is too much repetitive work every day , Can you improve your efficiency ,

So I began to study automation ,

The beginning of the second leap in capability

Start with learning a language ,Java perhaps Python Will do , At the beginning, it was easier to get started , It is suggested to start from Python Starting with . Master the language , You can start writing some scripts or testing tools to improve efficiency ;

Then study the architecture , Improve efficiency from a higher level , Maybe you can't reach the height of design architecture at this stage , But you have to think in this direction , Have this ambition .

This stage , Probably need 2 Years or so , If you finish this stage , You can be called a qualified test engineer , a monthly salary 15-20k These are common things . In other words, I have changed jobs after this stage , Because the team and business of the first company are too small , I don't have much growth . And this time , My salary has reached 25k.

Further back , I'm not satisfied again , It's not that you don't meet your salary , Instead of just improving efficiency , Instead, you want to predict defects and monitor defects earlier , At this time, we begin to advance in the direction of test development ,

The beginning of the third leap in ability

adopt “ Test shift left ”, Develop test plans with developers in advance , Drive code reviews 、 Code audit 、 unit testing 、 Automatic smoke test 、 Test precision analysis and R & D self-test to ensure the quality of the R & D stage ;

in addition , Participate in configuration deployment , Configure automated test cases into the continuous delivery chain , And pass “ Test move right ”, The whole process monitors the application quality after release .

What I'm talking about here “ Test shift left ”, That is to say, quality assurance in the R & D stage ,“ Test move right ” That is to say, quality monitoring after release . Done the test development , In my experience , I'm going to the big factory , Small companies don't use this , The salary can't afford . At present, in Beijing , Annual salary 30W+ It's just a start .

A little help

As an automated software tester , Now I'd like to share with you some of these years , I want to sum up the technology , Share your notes on the skills you need to master as an advanced Tester , I hope I can help my friends who want to go all the way to black on the road of technology ！

Let's share this 2022 It may be the most comprehensive development direction of software testing engineers, knowledge architecture diagram .
