The "teaching" process of software testing

In the search engine search for the keyword "Software testing tutorial", most of the results are roughly divided into three categories:

1. Software test video. Software testing tutorials in the form of video, such as the knowledge of testing methods, the basic knowledge of software testing, and the tutorials of testing tools, are available for a large number of software testing enthusiasts to obtain resources.

2. Download document resources. Most of these documents flow out from training institutions, although the knowledge framework is relatively simple, but the general framework is complete, so for testing newcomers, the effect may be general.

3. Users' consultation on community websites. In question-and-answer communities such as 360, Baidu and Zhihu, most of the questions about the software testing profession come from testing newcomers.

So in this information age, we are also faced with a question: what kind of information is effective if you want to enter the software testing industry? The "teaching" process of software testing actually teaches summary:

1. Understand software testing

Have you mastered the specific testing process, software test case design, software testing methods, and so on?

2. Testing tools

Always pay attention to market trends and master software testing tools. According to the characteristics of the project, effectively choose which way to test. It is like choosing TestWriter, an automated testing tool with zero coding and high maintainability, or choosing a management tool such as QTP to understand the characteristics of the tool, which will make the work process easier.

3. Check leaks and fill the gaps

Be good at summarizing the problems encountered in your work. At the same time, improve their own development capabilities, such as JAVA\ C++ and so on.
