Testing foundation is the most important part of software testing. I believe I don't need to say more. As you know, as long as you are testing, no matter what testing, the basic theoretical knowledge of testing is something that clinker must master. The basic theoretical knowledge of testing includes: writing test plans, designing test cases, writing test reports, writing BUG reports, tracking BUG fixes, good communication skills, and testing methods, unit testing, functional testing, integration testing, system testing, etc. Learning this paragraph may be boring, but only with a solid theoretical foundation can the following study be carried out.

Step 2: Learn the scripting language.

Such as python language and java language. Of course, python is a relatively simple computer language. Considering the long-term development, you need to know C language or java. Everyone says that C language is the most difficult, but after all, C language is the foundation of the foundation, and it will be easier to learn in depth after mastering it, and C language is really used a lot.

Step 3: Learn software testing tools.

It is not difficult to learn software testing tools, but we need to learn them systematically. For example, performance testing tool loadrunner, automated testing tools selenium, Appium, interface testing Jmeter, Postman and so on. Although tools are not omnipotent, they can improve our work efficiency, so we must use them skillfully. The most crucial point is to combine the specific operation of the project and practice the true knowledge, so that the theoretical knowledge can be consolidated in the actual project.

Step 4: Computer hardware knowledge

Anyone who has done performance testing knows that in the process of performance testing, hardware performance is also a very important indicator, such as CPU, memory, IO, bandwidth and so on. If you are doing hardware testing. Not to mention. Switches, routers, firewalls and other devices all need to know something.

Step 5: Database Testing

MySQL database

Introduction to MySQL, command line tools and data management, MySQL data query (conditions, grouping, aggregate function, sorting, paging, join query, autocorrelation, subquery), built-in functions, project exercises, data tables, Python operating MySQL.

Redis database

Introduction of Redis, client and server, data types (string, hash, list, set, zset), various data type operations, Python operation Redis, master-slave and cluster.

Step 6: Project actual combat

Combining theory with practice, it is best to participate in the testing of real projects and accumulate testing experience of real projects.

The above is the content of software testing. If you can follow this step slowly and steadily, I believe you can learn software testing within half a year. You can't learn well overnight, but be practical, too fast is unreliable.
