How to increase the monthly salary of software testing from 10K to 30K? Only automated testing can do it

When you enter a new company , Leaders will let you start with automated testing . As a novice Tester , In addition to being overwhelmed , You can only sigh silently that your ability is not enough . There will only be one question after another in front of you ：

• How to create opportunities and environment to break the bottleneck of self-improvement ？
• How to enter the automated test team in the shortest time ？　　
• How to implement automated testing ？
• How to continue to promote development in the future ？

How should we face the above problems ？ How to solve ？

Maybe you will ：

1. Bought several programming language books , Even if you finally understand something , So much content , How do you remember ？

2. I finally remembered something . I can write twoorthree programs . But how to do automated testing ？

3. I can finally write some automated test scripts , What are the requirements of enterprises for Automation Test Engineers ？ How to meet interview requirements ？

4. What is the future prospect of automated testing ？

ad locum , I will share my experience and development direction of automated testing , Maybe it can help you solve many puzzles in your work .

Automated test learning path 【 Automatic learning resource sharing at the end of the article 】

As for automated testing , According to the current language , It can be divided into two categories ： One is based on Python Automation , The other is based on Java Automation . You can decide which language to use according to your actual situation . in the final analysis , This is to solve this problem .

One 、 Automated testing

First , People are most concerned about , It is also the salary for the test .

• introduction ：“ Dot ”： Annual salary 8-10W
• transition ： Automation test engineer ： Annual salary 15-25W
• Advanced ： Full stack automation test engineer ： Annual salary 30-50W
• Pinnacle ： Test Development Engineer ： Annual salary 50-80W

Two 、 Learning steps for automated testing

• Master manual testing
• Study Python or Java Programming language
• Study Web Basics
• Learn automated testing tools
• Learn the automated testing framework
• Implement automated test cases
• Develop automated testing tools
• Develop an automated test framework

How to start automated testing ？

One 、 determine Test direction

On this question , My advice is from WebUI Automation starts , Mainly because WebUI Automation is easy to get started and understand .

Two 、 determine Testing tools

Determine the direction of automated testing , The next step is to select the test tool . It's recommended here Selenium The main reason is : Open source , A lot of people use it .

For test automation web Applications ,Selenium adopt webdriver Simulate manual control of the browser for automatic operation .

in fact , Automation is computer simulation of human operations . How to make computers do this , The focus is on how to locate page elements . How to manipulate elements ？

3、 ... and 、 determine Scripting language

Select the test tool , The next step is to choose your own scripting language .

Because of the difficulty of learning , Short development cycle , Suggested choice Python.Python It's a good introductory language , For most domestic testers at present , Lack of coding experience .Python Is the best choice .

The testing department does unit testing , The interface test , Because of the proportion of people , It's impossible for testers to master multiple languages at the same time ,python Grammar is simple , clear , The difficulty of later maintenance can be greatly reduced .

Of course , If you have Java Basics , You can also choose Java.

Four 、 Automation core technology points

After the script language is selected , The last step is actual combat .

Automation usually has four steps ：

• Get elements
• Operational elements
• Get the return result 、 Assertion
• Generate test reports

Python Summary of learning methods for automated systems ：

1、 Further study of Python Basics

Deeply study the foundation of automated test development . It mainly includes python Basic grammar 、 data type 、 data structure 、python Programming ;

For people with good learning ability , This part is not a big problem , Because they are all single technical points . Through some off the shelf online resources and their own daily code practice , There should be no problem in learning ;

Of course , If you want to understand the principle and mechanism of the core technology point , You need to check Python Official documentation and technical web site , Even check Python Source code , This requires the ability to learn deeply ;

However , When many beginners see the algorithm , They get headaches . in fact , For test and development positions , General automated testing tools do not require high performance . The key is to go through several major projects , Master programming skills , Implement business logic .

2、 be familiar with Python Common library

Python One of the reasons for the rapid development is Python It provides a relatively complete code base . therefore , Must be right Python Have a thorough grasp of , To implement business logic .

3、 Master automatic test framework and common library

for example ：

• The interface test ——Requests、Postman
• Performance testing ——Locust
• APP automated testing ——Appium、UIAutomator
• Web automated testing ——Selenium
• Database connection and operation ——pymysql library

4、 Master the design ideas of automatic testing tools

5、 True knowledge comes from practice

Find someone who knows Python Automated testing gurus , Find your own learning path from their development plan , Consult them more , It's going to be twice the result with half the effort .

Learn to communicate with test leaders .

If you want a better raise and promotion , You must be down to earth first , Do things seriously and effectively . Remember this is for your own work ！

meanwhile , Don't forget it , In the process of working , You have to keep charging and learning . The key to success is to have an excellent 、 A selfless teacher , Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to break through the bottleneck . It is absolutely impossible, at least in a short time ！

Finally, you should stop at the right time , Sum up your former self well , Only then can we make full preparations for the second take-off ！

  Finally, thank everyone who reads my article carefully , Watching the rise and attention of fans all the way , Reciprocity is always necessary , Although it's not very valuable , If you can use it, you can take it

These materials , For those who want to advance 【 automated testing 】 For our friends, 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 …
