3. Senior test engineer

The annual salary is about 12-180,000 yuan. They need to not only master the testing and development technology, but also have a good understanding of the industry to which the software is being tested, and be able to analyze and evaluate the problems that may arise in the test solution. Helps develop or maintain test or programming standards and procedures, is responsible for peer reviews, and is able to mentor junior test engineers.

4. Team Leader (Test Supervisor).

The annual salary is 18+ yuan, generally with about 5 years of work experience, responsible for managing a small team. Responsible for scheduling, scale of work, cost estimation, delivery of products on schedule and budget targets, and technical approach to developing projects, able to support and demonstrate to users.

5. Test manager

With an annual salary of 22+ RMB, he can be responsible for the entire development life cycle business in the testing field, can provide users with interaction and a large number of demonstrations, and is responsible for project cost, scheduling, planning and personnel division of labor.

Software testing came into being with software products, and the early development was relatively small and the product was relatively simple, so the meaning of testing was also narrow, and developers collectively referred to testing as "debugging" to correct known errors in the software. In the domestic market, many software companies have the phenomenon of heavy development and light testing, and even many Internet and software companies do not have special testing positions, but require development and internal testing of non-professionals before the product is launched, which causes frequent quality problems of software products and various problems after the launch.

In the past two years, with the rapid development of the Internet, software systems have become more and more complex, a software product is no longer written by 1-2 developers alone, but a team, each person may only be responsible for a single module for the overall product is not fully understood, so these software is very easy to make mistakes when running, and the industry calls this a bug.

And every software engineer will have a blind spot in his thinking, and it is not easy to find the mistakes he writes, so at this time, a special software test engineer is needed to check the product in a professional testing way.

In addition, because Chinese enterprises have a late understanding of software testing technology, professional and technical talents in this area are still scarce in China. According to the survey, the current domestic software testing talent gap has reached 300,000, and China's software industry adds about 200,000 new testing jobs every year, but the software testing talents cultivated by enterprises and schools are less than 110 in demand, and the gap between demand and supply is still further widening. Huawei once threw out a large recruitment order for 50 software testers, and other major companies have also posted high-paying recruitment of software testing talents.

With the gradual improvement of users' requirements for products, the weight of testers within the enterprise will only become heavier, and first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen will drive other cities to develop together. Therefore, the prospect of software testing will only get better and better, of course, there are very few job requirements for the most basic functional testing, but there are still many opportunities for automation, performance, security, and even big data testing and AI testing that may occur in the future.

Brother Ba thinks that there is no need to worry about the development of the software testing industry, the prospects are still very good It can be said that the development of this industry in the past ten years is still good, of course, it does not mean that it will not work after ten years, but in the process of work, you need to continue to learn and improve yourself

At present, there are three points in the development of the software testing industry: software testing talent gap; a serious imbalance between developers and testers; As enterprises become more demanding on software quality, testing is becoming more and more important

a.According to the statistics of Future-free Recruitment Network, at present, among the 1.2 million software practitioners in China, no more than 50,000 can really take on software testing positions, and the software testing talent gap has exceeded 200,000 and is rapidly advancing to the 300,000 mark. In the top ten popular occupations of 2018 recently released by China Talent Network, software test engineers are also among the top three.

b.The importance of software testing to software projects is evident in the personnel structure of today's software giants such as Microsoft. Nowadays, within Microsoft, the ratio of software testers to software developers is generally about the same, that is, behind a developer, there are at least two testers working to ensure the quality of the software product.

c.Microsoft's software testing engineers revealed that within Microsoft, the ratio of software testing engineers to development engineers is basically maintained at about 1:1, while the ratio is only between 1:5 and 1:8 in other domestic software companies.

To sum up, software testing positions are now in great demand, and companies are paying more and more attention to it, after all, it will affect the development of the enterprise, so the later development prospects can be said to be thriving, as for the money situation, it will not be bad.

The soft test is okay in first-tier cities, but there are not so many second-tier positions.

Software testing belongs to the IT industry of technical positions, is to control the quality of software, if a software quality problems, I believe that its market usage rate will be great, so the importance of software testing in the enterprise can be imagined.

There is no doubt that with the growth of project experience, the salary will also increase significantly, similar to the position of a doctor, which belongs to the older the more popular.

Science and technology are developing very rapidly, and technology is updated very quickly, this industry needs to keep learning in order to keep up with the times, of course, this is not a patent for IT technology positions, any position needs to continue to learn to make yourself invincible.

Since there are friends who have finished learning at the top test, they should have some understanding of the top test, but I don't elaborate too much here, learning can not completely rely on the training company, and their own efforts are also very important, come on!!

The salary of software testing is naturally not very low, the monthly salary of junior interface test engineers is between 8,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan, and after accumulating several years of experience, the monthly salary of intermediate interface test engineers can get 10,000 yuan to 18,000 yuan. The salary of the junior performance test engineer is between 10,000 yuan and 12,000 yuan, and after being promoted to the intermediate performance test engineer for a period of time, the model Chunchang can get a monthly salary of 12,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan. After accumulating rich experience, he was further promoted to senior performance test engineer, that is, system tuning architect, with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan to 35,000 yuan.

The monthly salary of a junior automated test engineer is 10,000 yuan-15,000 yuan, and the intermediate automated test engineer who has accumulated some experience is 15,000 yuan-20,000 yuan.

This is only the salary of software test engineers under general circumstances according to the statistics of professional friend set, boss direct recruitment, Lagou.com, etc., and does not include the management of Senmo. If you go the management route, your salary will be much more than that. The salary of a software testing engineer is determined by experience and technology, as long as you have enough skills and experience, your salary is not capped.

How capable you are, how much you can get a salary. So don't feel like you can't do it, how do you know if you don't try, maybe the next one with an annual salary of one million will be you!
