Let's look at the direction of testing. Testing is a very important link in the process of software development, which is mainly responsible for verifying whether the function and performance of the software meet the requirements. Test engineers usually don't need to have deep programming skills, but they need to have certain logical thinking ability, care and patience. The entry threshold for the exam is relatively low. You can learn some basic testing theories and tools, accumulate some project experience and gradually improve your testing skills. There is also a great demand for test engineers in IT industry, and there are many employment opportunities.
Then, let's look at the direction of front-end development. Front-end development is mainly responsible for the interface development and interactive design of web pages and mobile applications, which requires a certain programming foundation and aesthetic ability. The entry threshold for front-end development is relatively high. You need to learn some basic programming languages and front-end frameworks, and master front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. With the accumulation of experience, you can gradually learn more advanced front-end technology and interactive design concepts. The IT industry also has a great demand for front-end development engineers, but the competition is also fierce.
How to choose? If you are interested in programming and want to learn some programming techniques in depth, then front-end development may be more suitable for you. Although the entry threshold is relatively high, once you master some basic front-end technologies, you can gradually learn more advanced technologies and concepts. If you are not interested in programming, or want to get started in the IT industry faster, then testing may be a better choice. The entry threshold for the exam is relatively low. You can improve your testing skills by accumulating project experience and learning testing theory.
No matter which direction you choose, you need to pay some efforts and time to study and practice. IT industry is an ever-changing industry. Only by constantly learning and updating can we keep pace with the times. In addition to learning basic theories and skills, you need to participate in some practical projects and open source communities to accumulate some practical project experience and network resources.
What I want to say is that it is not easy to change careers, but as long as you keep your firm belief and make persistent efforts, you will certainly succeed. When choosing the IT direction of entry, you should judge according to your actual situation and interest. At the same time, we should keep an open mind and learning attitude, constantly absorb new knowledge and skills, and lay a solid foundation for our career development.
I hope my suggestion will help you! I wish you all the best in your study!
