Test engineer. Comprehensive diagnostics of the general abilities of adolescents in the context of specialized education

Software tester - what kind of profession is this? What is its essence? And how relevant is it in the modern world? All these questions are quite appropriate, since today IT professions are among the highest paid in the labor market. Not to mention the fact that mastering such specialties provides a person with a stable future.

Software tester: what is it?

Today, most electronic devices work correctly only thanks to the programs built into them. They are written by programmers of all stripes and levels of training. And believe me, their number is truly breathtaking. Thus, more than one thousand programs are created every day: from simple calculators to artificial intelligence for high-tech machines.

And, as in any production, a product cannot be released to the general public without first checking it for defects. So, a software (software) tester is a person who is involved in field testing of programs. At the same time, he can be either a full-time employee of the company or a freelancer working for himself.

Why are software testers needed?

Various programming languages ​​are used to create programs. This could be C++, JavaScript, Python, and so on. After the product is completed, the first thing it does is review it by the author himself. But, since he is the creator of the program, he cannot always objectively assess the quality of the received product. Not to mention that he simply may not have enough time to modulate all possible ways of using it.

And it is at this stage that the software tester comes into play. It is he who takes upon himself all operations related to checking a new application. At the same time, unlike a programmer, a tester does not have access to the program code. That is, he experiences the application as a simple user and is only occasionally granted special privileges.

Main responsibilities of a software tester

A software tester is a profession that requires a thorough approach to business. Here you cannot work half-heartedly, as this will certainly affect the reputation of the specialist. As for the responsibilities themselves, they consist of the following points:

1. Creating a test plan. The software tester must think through all scenarios for using the application in advance and recreate them. Moreover, the more experienced the specialist, the faster he can identify the factors that are most dangerous for the operation of the application.
2. provision, through special automated tools. Like any other master, the tester has his own devices to optimize and speed up work. They are universal and, nevertheless, require prior mastery and practice.
3. A competent and systematic description of the problems and shortcomings found. The point is that simply identifying the error is not enough. In addition, you need to be able to correctly draw up a work log so that the programmer can understand why the failure occurred and which part of his application is to blame.

It should be noted that quite often testers are grouped into small groups. First of all, this is necessary in order to speed up the verification or make it of better quality. In this case, the work can be evenly distributed among all specialists. For example, some will be busy with the application interface, others will look for errors in calculations, and others will simulate the most dangerous scenarios for the program.

Profession training

Anyone who is well versed in the exact sciences can become a software tester. Ideally, it is better to have a degree in programming or at least understand the basics of writing applications. Based on this, this specialty is well suited for those studying IT specialties. Firstly, it will help you gain experience and look at the work of other people, and secondly, it will bring additional income, which is also good.

However, you can become a software tester without specialized education. So to speak, learn everything on your own. Fortunately, today this is not a problem, since there are many educational courses on the Internet that can clearly demonstrate all the intricacies of this work.

In addition, you can try your luck and try to get into prepared seminars that are held in many organizations that produce software. For example, GlobalLogic periodically conducts training courses specifically for software testers. Moreover, after graduating, a person can become one of its employees, and then begin working on its staff or remotely, as a freelancer.

What skills should a self-respecting specialist have?

A software tester without experience can find a job, but a specialist who doesn’t know the basics can never find a job. However, what are they, the basics of the profession? What kind of knowledge should every self-respecting tester have?

• Firstly, such a specialist must be familiar with the basics of programming in order to be able to compete in the labor market.
• Secondly, you will have to remember the principles of software development and OS administration.
• Thirdly, learn to work with generally accepted databases.
• Fourthly, learn a special language that you can’t do without today.

In addition, the tester must have a good command of English, as it is the dominant language in the world of programming. Moreover, over time you will have to bring it to an ideal level, as well as learn all the intricacies of the technical style.

Development of practical skills

Even though a software tester without work experience is a completely common occurrence, such a specialist is unlikely to be hired for a decent project. Therefore, having studied the basics of the profession, you should begin to develop practical skills and positive feedback.

To do this, you need to go to one of the sites that provide work to freelancers. Every day, dozens of proposals related to testing the functionality of applications are posted there. At the same time, there are many orders for beginners that do not require work experience or special programming skills.

Thus, in a month or two you can make good progress in your business and earn some reputation. The only downside is that such orders are often poorly paid. But you will have to come to terms with this, since in the future such deprivations can bring much more profitable orders, which will more than repay the efforts spent.

Where to look for a profitable job

So, let's say you're already an experienced software tester: where to start looking for a promising job? Well, the first thing you should do is look at the advertisements on online job exchanges and programmer forums. From time to time you come across good offers that can generate a stable income.

However, you should not rely only on luck. If you have a good resume, you can submit several applications to IT companies. Management loves motivated specialists, and therefore such an initiative can bear fruit. Especially if you target those companies that produce high-quality software.

If you are unlucky with a permanent place at this stage, then you can become a freelancer. A well-proven software tester working remotely from home can earn no less than a full-time colleague. The only difference is that instead of one employer, he will have several.

Pros and cons of the profession

For those who love modern technologies, this profession will seem very exciting and interesting. After all, every day you will have to deal with a new product that will soon be able to radically change the world of information technology. In addition, the work is considered very prestigious and excludes any physical activity.

Also, many are pleased with the fact that this profession is equally suitable for both men and women. Moreover, it can be for those who, due to health problems, cannot get a more difficult job.

However, there are also disadvantages. The main one is high competition caused by a shortage of high-paying orders. You should also pay attention to the fact that a software tester spends a lot of time at the computer. At the same time, he does not just sit behind it, but is completely absorbed in what is happening on the monitor. Because of this, vision problems may arise over the years, which is extremely unpleasant.

Salary

It is quite difficult to calculate the arithmetic average salary of a software tester. This is due to the fact that it depends on how lucky the specialist is. So, you can take one order for 10 thousand rubles and complete it in a week, or you can get a job worth 20 thousand rubles and not finish it in a whole month.

And yet we can say with confidence that the income of a beginning tester varies between 10-15 thousand rubles per month. An experienced specialist can earn the same money twice as fast. A full-time employee of a prestigious company receives about 40-45 thousand rubles.

In our school, since 1999, technology in grades 5 - 9 has been taught according to the author's program and is a subject of deepening, along with computer science. Students are taught without division into boys and girls. The program pays a lot of attention to the study of simple mechanisms, pneumatic devices, devices using wind and water energy, electrical and electronic devices, etc. Different children come to school and in order to understand how the information will be perceived, testing is sometimes necessary. An important indicator of students' success in learning technology is testing with the following indicators: low level - solving 8 problems, medium level - 11, and high level - 13-14 problems. This test is expected to take 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

Special tests are used to study the ability of technical understanding. The test tasks are given in the form of pictures depicting simple models. The subject needs to answer questions that require an understanding of spatial relationships, etc.

In Fig. Figure 12 shows a simple task taken from the Bennett Test of Mechanical Comprehension for Technical Comprehension. The subject is asked to answer the question which of the workers depicted experiences the greatest load and enter the corresponding letter A or B into the answer form. If the subject believes that the loads are equal, then he must enter the letter C in the form (Fig. 12).

Rice. 12. Which worker is under greater strain?

These tests are aimed at identifying the knowledge and experience accumulated by the test taker.

Let's look at some tasks for understanding spatial relationships.

1. Bennett's Mechanical Awareness Test

The stimulus material is represented by 70 simple physical and technical tasks, most of which are presented in the form of drawings. After the text of the question (picture), there are three possible answers to it, and only one of them is correct. The test taker must select and indicate the correct answer by writing on a separate sheet the number of the task and the number of the selected answer. The technique refers to the so-called speed tests. 25 minutes are allotted for the total completion of all tasks.

It is allowed to complete tasks in any order. The procedure for calculating the results obtained is quite simple and consists of awarding 1 point for each correctly completed task. Conversion to standard scales is not carried out; interpretation is carried out in accordance with the norms obtained on a specific sample of subjects (Fig. 13 a, b)

Bennett Test Problems

test performance by high school students

3.4. Intellectual lability test

The “Intellectual Lability” technique is used to study lability, that is, the ability to switch attention, the ability to quickly move from solving one problem to performing another without making mistakes, and predicting the success of mastering a new type of activity. In order to diagnose the abilities of adolescents for activities that require a good shift of attention (the work of an accountant, economist, secretary), we present a shortened version of the methodology (modified by G.V. Rezapkina), consisting of 30 tasks, while the traditional version for adults includes 40 more difficult tasks. The technique has a high level of information content and accuracy in predicting learning success.

Students must complete simple tasks in a limited period of time (three seconds), which the psychologist reads at a normal pace, loudly and clearly. The children should be warned not to look at each other’s notebooks and ask to repeat the task, otherwise its meaning will be lost.

Instructions. The work you will do requires concentration and quick action. In front of you is a form divided into thirty squares. Each square is a simple task that you must complete in just three seconds. The task is not repeated.

If you haven't completed it yet, move on to the next one.

1. Write the first letter of the name Sergey and the last letter of the first month of the year.

2. Write the word “par” so that any one letter is written in a triangle.

3. Divide the quadrilateral with two vertical and two horizontal lines.

4. Draw a line from the first circle to the fourth so that it passes under circle 2 and above circle 3.

5. Place “+” in the triangle and “1” in the rectangle.

6. Divide the third circle into two parts.

7. Write the second to last letter of your full name.

8. Connect the dots with a straight line and put a “+” in the smaller triangle.

9. Cross out the vowels.

10. Extend the sides of the trapezoid until they intersect each other.

11. Connect points 2, 4 and 5.

12. Cross out the odd numbers and underline the even numbers.

13. Under the letter A put an arrow pointing down, under the letter B - an arrow pointing up, under the letter C - a check mark.

14. If the words “house” and “oak” begin with the same letter, put a minus sign between the diamonds.
