Manual testing cannot be changed to automated testing. What is missing?

Recently a fan asked me ： How can manual testing be quickly transferred to automated testing , Some work 3-5 year , Even more than 5 Years of experience , I think this is a common problem .

So what are the reasons that lead to the failure to switch to automated testing ？

After understanding, I found some problems in the method , Some test colleagues are changing from manual testing to automated testing , Too many steps , Follow the online advice to learn a programming language first , You can't switch to automated testing without coding ability .

Some peers may follow the ideas on the Internet , For example, I chose python, For two weeks 、 A month 、 Two months , Found that the grammar can be understood , follow demo Can also write , But when it comes to implementing automated testing , Still don't know how to do it , There are even too many test colleagues learning programming languages , Just give up .

that , What I want to say is why we can't switch to automation without coding ability ？

We still have to return to the essence , What is the purpose of our shift to automated testing , We also want to be able to return some of our daily repetitive work , Complete in an automated way , It can quickly improve our testing efficiency and ensure our quality , So that we can have more time to test new requirements , Why not step by step , First go to semi automation with the help of tools , With the help of continuous integration to full automation .

I have also done in the software testing industry 11 Years. , I have also come all the way to the present through self-study , Also through their own efforts to get the results they want . Here is a copy of my automated test learning path , I hope I can help you

1. Automated testing is a must Python Programming content

2. Web UI Basic content of automated testing

3. Web UI The actual content of automatic test

4. APP UI Basic content of automated testing

5. APP UI The actual content of automatic test

6.API Basic content of interface automation test

6. API Actual content of interface automation test

7. CI/CD Continuous integration of special technologies

9. The actual combat technology of automated test framework

Below I created a software testing exchange ：642830685, In the group, you will learn the skills related to software testing , For example, business function test 、 automated testing 、 Performance testing 、 Business security testing 、 Test development and test management , Know what you should learn next 、 Improve your testing skills faster , No more confusion ！

meanwhile , I will also know some test peers , You can also know some big factory tests , See how they do the test .

In the group , In addition to the big guy answering everyone's questions for free 、 Give you learning and career planning , Everyone can share all the resources in the group , We can study together , Communicate with each other, etc . At the same time, you can make more friends .
