Eight years of testing experience, why was the leader criticized: the test documents you wrote are not as good as those of fresh graduates

“What is the most important competency in software testing?”

The answer to this question is absolutely varied

"Automation Technology" "Performance Testing" "Communication Ability" "Code Ability"...

These abilities mentioned above are indeed very important, but in my opinion, in fact, testers have always had an ability that is easily overlooked by everyone, that is, "documentation ability".Documentation is an output carrier that integrates your technical ability and thinking logic. In testing work, documentation can be said to be everywhere:

For functional tests, it is necessary to write test scheme design, test case design, test report, etc.
For technical tests, it is necessary to write automated testsProgram, performance test program, interface test report, etc.
For management positions, it is necessary to write project quality analysis, risk tracking table, performance appraisal program, etc.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to tell you that your skill level determines your occupational lower limit, and documentation ability determines your occupational upper limit.

Unfortunately, many testers only focus on improving their technical level and often ignore the training of documentation skills.So how can you quickly improve your documentation capabilities in a short period of time?

The stone of other mountains can be a shortcut to improve your documentation ability by learning from excellent documents written by others, so here I have compiled a collection of various types written by senior practitioners in the testing industry.Documents produced in the test work, pay attention to the official account: programmers can get it for free.

Now I invite you to join our software testing learning exchange group: 769146372, note "join the group", everyone can discuss and communicate software testing together, learn software testing techniques, interviews and other aspects of software testing, and there will be free live classes, to gain more testing skills, let's advance Python automated testing/test development together, and move towards a high salary.
