What to learn in software testing: 1, test environment (network environment, windows environment, etc. ) 2, database management 3, programming skills (java programming design, scripting language, design tools, XML programming) 4, software testing technology (testing theory, methods, processes, documentation, testing tools, automated testing) 5, testing technology practice From the perspective of the whole industry, on the other hand, there are fewer software testers in the market, and there is a big job gap. Many enterprises develop temporary tests for emergencies. At present, there are more than 300,000 software testing talents. From the perspective of personal career development, software testing talents emphasize the accumulation of post experience. After several years of testing experience, practitioners can gradually turn to management or senior test engineers as test managers or department heads, so their professional life is longer. In addition, due to the shortage of software testing engineers in China, and generally only large and medium-sized enterprises will set up software testing departments separately, it is very secure and the treatment is generally high.
