Career planning of Software Test Engineer

Readers ask questions ：

How do software test engineers make career development plans , Is there any better suggestion for us to test Mengxin ？

Achang replied ：

Two major development directions ：1、 technical ;2、 Management category .

One 、 Take the technological development route

1、 Testing experts , such as “ Test Architect ”（ key word ： Tackle key technical problems 、 Critical business review 、 Infrastructure construction 、 Solve the practical problems on the front line 、 Plan team technology development ）

2、 Special test engineer , such as “ Automation test technology expert ”、“ Performance testing technologist ”（ key word ： Software testing is a field 、 technician ）

difference ： The former focuses on a specific product , Comprehensively consider and select more appropriate technology ; The latter does not focus on specific products , It is to study the commonness of a specific technology .

Two 、 Take the line of management development

1、 Test team leader （ key word ： Key and difficult product tests 、 Coaching new people 、 Task assignment 、 Task follow up ）

2、 Test Manager （ key word ： project management 、 Communication and coordination 、 Team growth ）

3、 Test Director （ key word ： Understand product business objectives 、 Sector development ）

Ah Chang reads in pieces ：

For software testing , In fact, there is no strict “ technology ” perhaps “ management ” said , Management cannot be pure management , Technology cannot be pure technology .

Software testing is a subject that needs continuous practice and summarization , As a test manager, I don't pay attention to the development of Technology , It is difficult to do test management ; As a testing expert, I don't pay attention to product value and goals , Only know technology, not management , It is also difficult to do a good test strategy .

A Chang as a test manager , What we do in actual work is not pure management , I often participate in actual testing tasks , Only in the test practice, we can constantly summarize the test experience 、 Learn new testing techniques , Management level can be improved .

After reading today's sharing, is it enlightening for you , If you have any idea, you are welcome to send a private message backstage, ah Chang , Discuss and communicate with each other
