Fourth, career analysis.

(1) My career choice:

software test engineers

(2) reasons for choosing:

SWOT analysis:

Internal environmental factors, advantages and disadvantages

1. Interested in software, strong learning ability.

2. Have confidence in yourself

3. Diligent thinking, serious and responsible, patient.

4. Good memory

5. Good at communication

6. This profession is more suitable for women in the IT field. 1. I am not good at thinking with unconventional ideas, and my logical thinking is not careful enough.

2. English level needs to be improved.

3. Questioning mental deficiency

4. The writing level needs to be improved

5. The requirements for testing talents are high and learning is difficult.

External environmental factors, opportunity factors (O) and threat factors (T)

IT industry is a sunrise industry with development potential, and software testing talents are very scarce. The shortage of software testing talents will last for about 4 to 9 years, and the employment competition is small. At present, there is no sound software testing talent training system in China.

SWOT summary: strive to change what can be changed and adapt to what cannot be changed. For external environmental factors, only let yourself adapt to it, seize opportunities and meet challenges. There is a big shortage of software testing talents in China, and compared with other occupations, it has no small advantage in employment. As for the internal environmental factors, I will give full play to my advantages, make up for my disadvantages, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and bring myself closer to my goals in my future life and study. Software testing is not easy to learn. However, I will work hard and keep pushing myself to develop in this direction. I believe there will be gains.

(3) the job content and ability of the ideal occupation

job description

Software testing engineer is the quality manager in the process of software production. They should not only be responsible for the final function and performance of software products, but also ensure the quality of software from the aspects of "requirement analysis", "structural design" and document specification, so that the produced software functions can meet the requirements at the beginning of design and users can use high-quality software.

Operating system

1. Understand the functional requirements of the product and test it;

2. Responsible for executing test tasks and building test cases, checking whether the software has bugs, determining whether the software is robust, and writing corresponding test protocols and test cases;

3. Responsible for defect registration and tracking;

Work authority

5. Strong communication, understanding and coordination skills, and teamwork spirit; Proactive and responsible for work.

6. Familiar with software engineering, software testing theories and methods, and understand relevant testing processes, specifications and document standards;

(4) the gap with the goal of career choice

Software testers are the quality gatekeepers of software development. With the upgrading of China's software industry, the domestic software industry has broken through the traditional workshop-style production, upgrading from stand-alone development mode to industrialized and assembly-line production mode, which naturally puts forward higher quality requirements for the developed software. While the demand for software testing talents is expanding, the demand for talents will be higher and higher. For me, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.

Whether it is professional skills or professionalism, there is still a big gap between me and a qualified software testing engineer. To become a test engineer who wants to gain more development space or lasting competitiveness, computer professional skills are essential. Excellent software testers must have two or three years of software development experience, and compared with software developers, testers need not only a skill, but also knowledge of operating system, database and network.

Five, the actual career goals of the specific action plan (the next three academic years)

First of all, you should listen carefully, ensure your academic performance and get a scholarship. Because experience in software testing is more important than academic qualifications, most people think that it is better to accumulate experience in enterprises than to go to graduate school, and there is no need to study subjects unrelated to computers. However, I think we should take a long-term view, cultivate ourselves in many ways, enrich our knowledge and improve our overall quality during my college days, instead of seeking quick success and instant benefit and studying purely for employment. Of course, learning should also be focused. Computer courses such as data structure, database, JAVA programming, object-oriented analysis and design, operating system, software engineering and other subjects are more demanding and strict. Later, we should start to learn the knowledge of software testing systematically and find some test books to read.

Secondly, take part in more activities, apply what you have learned, and initially accumulate programming and testing experience. At present, there are three main sources of software testing talents in China: first, technicians who used to do software development and change careers; Second, computer graduates from colleges and universities; Third, train professional students in institutions. However, enterprises generally believe that fresh graduates majoring in computer science lack practical ability. Therefore, while constantly improving the level of professional knowledge, we should participate in practice, cultivate hands-on ability and gain rich experience. To this end, I decided to use the time of winter and summer vacation to practice in a software company, so as to add weight to the smooth employment.

Usually use the network to communicate with software testing practitioners, and go to software testing forums and post bars. Let yourself have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of this profession before joining the software testing team, and you can accumulate network resources in the process.

Specific plan:

Freshman summer military training, further master the basic computer knowledge and skills, review computer English, and find a part-time job if possible.

Sophomore students did well in all courses last semester and passed Band 4.

Review the computer knowledge you have learned in the winter vacation of Senior Two to improve your English.

Listen carefully in the next semester of sophomore year, and the results meet the requirements.

Summer Social Practice Program for Sophomore Students

In the third year, I learned all the courses well and passed Band 6.

Looking for a part-time job in my hometown during the winter vacation of my junior year, and studying software testing at the same time.

In the third semester, I will learn all the courses well and teach myself the related knowledge of software testing.

Looking for a part-time job in a software company in Beijing during my junior summer vacation.

Senior three continued to learn software testing knowledge by himself last semester.

During the winter vacation of my senior year, I used what I learned to test my software. In this way, you can test your test level and master relevant knowledge.

Improve the knowledge of software testing, and participate in relevant professional training in the next semester of senior year.

Conclusion:

China people often say, do your best and listen to your destiny. For what we can control, we must go all out; For the uncontrollable, we should cultivate an open mind and an inclusive mind. We should hold the belief that if we don't do it, we must do it well. In this way, we can win a bumper harvest.

Through career planning, I know myself better, know myself, find the direction of struggle, and I am no longer confused. From now on, I am a ship with a course, sailing to my future, braving the wind and waves!
