How to see the future development of software testing?

So far , The software testing industry is very nice, At least now the work content is not difficult , Work is not tiring , Higher wages . In the long run , As long as you work hard enough , You will not be eliminated . Because software testing will not be replaced by automated testing . But with the development of the times , The technology and methods of software testing have also been updated . If you stay where you are , I'm sorry , You will be replaced . The future development of another testing position is nothing more than several stages ：

First stage ： You just finished training , Or just finished self-study . There are two branches at this time ： Want to work in this industry 、 Earn a quick sum of money . In the first stage of working in this industry, I suggest you find a big factory for outsourcing your first job , Think of something that beats , Some news , Some strange art , A certain degree, wait . This stage is called the stage of accumulating experience , It's a process from talking on paper to real guns , What are the benefits of outsourcing from large factories , First of all, it's too important , Too complicated work will not be left to you , You have enough time to understand the process , The tool , The method . The same is true of branches that want to make a quick sum of money , In the first stage, these two branches are the same .

The second stage ： It needs to be advanced . That is, at least from pure functional testing to using interfaces , Grab the bag. , Compatible with , Performance , Automation will vary from person to person , If you can learn . This branch that wants to work in this industry , I worked in a large outsourcing factory for almost a year and a half , I feel I know this industry ,OK, job-hopping , Find a job with direct recruitment . Enter the direct move , You need to be well prepared , It is a process and rhythm from idle to busy . Some people say that the upper limit of the test is too low , Look at personal ability , From the elementary test , To intermediate test , To advanced test , To test development engineer , To the test team leader , To the test manager . The upper limit is still very high . The branch that wants to make a quick sum of money has a different position , I suggest you outsource , At least we outsource more , But the learning is limited , Lower Provident Fund , But the money in hand is more than that in straight strokes . Lower the upper limit .

The third stage ： grow up , Or grow . You at this time , At least skillfully use various tools , Various platforms , Various processes , Various case Compiling , Come into contact with automation , Ready to improve your code base , It's going sideways . Of course, those who make fast money may have left at this time . But you go through the same stage , Fast money or continue to outsource , The direct recruitment company may have been promoted , Maybe it's advanced test or open test .

The last stage ： If you want to continue in this industry, you need to learn leadership , You can lead a small team by yourself , Those who earn fast money continue to outsource , Don't underestimate outsourcing , Will outsource the code , The front line can also drive to 20K Of .

To sum up , As long as you work hard enough , The future of software testing is very promising ！
