1. Test professional skills
There is a lot of testing professional knowledge, mainly based on the basic professional skills that testers should master. Testing expertise covers a wide range: including basic testing technologies such as black-box testing, white-box testing and test case design, as well as testing methods such as unit testing, functional testing, integrated testing, system testing and performance testing, as well as basic testing process management, defect management and automated testing technology.
2. Software programming skills
"Software programming skills should actually be one of the necessary skills for testers. At Microsoft, many testers have many years of development experience. Therefore, testers must be able to write programs if they want to get better career development. Only when you can write programs can you be competent for such difficult tests as unit testing, integration testing and performance testing.
In addition, the requirements for programming skills of software testers are different from those of developers: the programs written by testers should focus on correct operation and give consideration to high efficiency, especially in the writing of test codes related to performance testing. Therefore, testers should have certain algorithm design ability. According to the experience of senior test engineers, test engineers should master at least one language such as Java, C#, C++ and corresponding development tools.
3. Compared with developers, knowledge of network, operating system, database, middleware, etc. The knowledge mastered by testers has the characteristics of "extensive knowledge but not refined", and "multi-skill is not overwhelming" is a very vivid metaphor. Because it is often necessary to configure and debug various test environments in the test process and analyze and tune various system platforms in the performance test process, testers need to master more knowledge of networks, operating systems, databases and so on.
On the network side, testers should master the basic network protocols and network working principles, especially the configuration of some network environments, which are often encountered in testing work. In terms of operating system and middleware, you should master the basic usage, installation and configuration. For example, many application systems are based on Unix and linux, which requires testers to master basic operation commands and related tools and software. The installation and configuration of middleware such as WebLogic and Websphere often need to be mastered. Database knowledge is more important to master skills, and now the application system is almost inseparable from the database. Therefore, we should not only master the basic installation and configuration, but also master SQL. Testers should at least master the use of commonly used databases such as Mysql, MSSqlserver and Oracle.
These are the computer skills that Bian Xiao compiled for everyone. I hope they can help you.
