How is the software testing industry?

The above one is obviously entrusted by the training institution. If you do a general black box test, girls can do it. Reading basic books several times, such as The Art of Software Testing, and then watching Xiao Qiang's teaching videos online is much better than spending tens of thousands of dollars on training institutions. Of course, you need to know some necessary program knowledge, not to say which language you need to master (that is, to do development), but to understand the data structure, and then understand the main structure of the program, because even a complex program is composed of many simple cycles and choices. At the same time, you should understand the SQL language and write some simple SQL, but generally large and medium-sized enterprises have special personnel to do the database, so this still depends on the future working environment. If you want to do white-box testing, you must be familiar with the development language, because white-box testing is not completely counted in the test, it is counted in the development process. If you want to do a performance test, you have to know the performance index of a software, such as the maximum concurrency and throughput, and be familiar with the current server hardware facilities. Then you will use LoadRunner (this software is the mainstream) to test the software of various communication protocols. Now, most of the time, you only do performance tests by doing WEB programs (generally speaking). As for the prospect of this industry, it is certain that the software testing industry in China is not on the right track yet, and it will take a long time to explore. Companies pay different attention to software testing, but it is certain that this industry will have a future. In terms of salary, take myself as an example. Currently graduated from Chengdu Computer College, 20 1 1. Currently doing software testing in Chengdu Software Park. The internship salary before graduation is 2400, and the salary after graduation is 3000. Social security+provident fund will be deducted 800 every month. Although the salary is not high, it is actually enough for a newly graduated student. Naturally, you can jump ship to find a higher salary. No matter whether you are in management or specializing in technology in the future, you are very promising. Q: I also feel like the one above, and I don't know anything about it now. Just a preliminary "spy". I just don't know where to start. It's a little messy Can you tell me more? Thank you. Answer: 1. Read books and learn basic knowledge. If your English is good, you can learn how to say related words in English, because the books compiled in China are not very good. I either read translated foreign language books or read English books. Of course, I don't understand English at all. My English is only Band 4. I went to the forum. At present, the better forum is 5 1testing software testing forum. There are many bubbles in the novice area. Turn out all the previous posts and have a look. I believe I can learn a lot and enjoy a lot of learning materials. 3. The broadcasting company has a special video area for soft testing. I like watching Xiao Qiang's videos, so you can watch them yourself.
