What you need to learn for software testing

There are many types of industries in the field of testing, and you can't learn everything, so you still have to master the theoretical knowledge of testing (test plans, schemes, use cases, and report writing methods), and then after you have a certain ability, you should consider learning a little programming language (VB script, C language, etc.), learn some testing tools (QTP, loadrunner, etc.), learn performance testing, database testing, web testing, automation testing, In the later stage, the main thing is to be proficient in a certain aspect in order to have a place, and you can't learn everything and be fine with nothing.

What do you need to learn about software testing?

Basic knowledge of computer operation: This is not a big problem for computer students, who can use computer operation and simple office software. If not, you can find information on the Internet and learn by yourself, which is very simple.

Have certain database operation skills: For commonly used databases, simple operations are required. You can install a database by yourself and practice often.

Master software testing defect management tools: QC, Mantis, JAR, etc. Software testing is inseparable from defect management. Software testing defect management tools effectively manage defects and improve software quality. It is recommended to learn this knowledge from the Internet or books.

Master software testing tools: loadrunner, Ruby, QTP, etc., and learn testing tools to improve testing efficiency, which will also help you plan your testing career.

Learn a development scripting language: Learning to develop a scripting language helps you learn software testing tools. Choose to study according to your interests and foundations.

In fact, there is no lower requirement than software testing in the technical positions of the networking industry, what foundation is needed to learn software testing? Basically, you need to understand the basic concepts of software testing, and if you can understand these concepts, you will basically learn software testing.

Basic concepts. Testing is the process of executing the program in order to find errors in the program, software testing engineers in a software company play the role of "quality management", timely correction and timely correction to ensure the normal operation of the product, software testers must have innovative and comprehensive analysis capabilities, must have accurate judgment, the pursuit of perfection, perseverance, good at cooperation quality, as well as have rich programming experience and the ability to check faults.

Detailed classification. 1. According to the internal structure and implementation of the software.

1) White box test: The internal working process of the product is known, and the test can prove whether each internal operation meets the design specification requirements, and whether all internal components are inspected.

2) Black box test: The functional design specifications of the product are known, and the test can be carried out to prove whether each implemented function meets the requirements.

3) Gray box testing: between the white box and the black box, while focusing on the correct output, the internal implementation logic is also considered.

2. According to whether the procedure is carried out or not.

1) Static test: The program itself is not executed, but only the syntax, structure, process, interface, etc. of the source program are analyzed or checked.

2) Dynamic test: Run the program under test to check the difference between the running result and the expected result.

3. According to the development stage.

1) Unit test: Concentrate on testing each program unit implemented with the source **, and check whether each program module correctly implements the specified function.

3) Validation Testing: Check whether the implemented software meets the various requirements identified in the Requirements Specification and whether the software configuration is complete and correct.

4) System testing: Incorporate the confirmed software into the actual operating environment and test it together with other system components.

5) Acceptance test: The test process carried out before the product release to ensure that users can use it normally.

4. According to the purpose of the test.

1) Regression testing.

2) Stress test.

3) Performance testing.

4) Stability test.

5) Other special tests.
