召集志愿测试员

听到很多测试人员抱怨没有机会去进行自动化测试，白盒测试这些相对手工，黑盒测试技术要求比较高的工作。我一直提倡应该自己去创造机会，但是我发现很少有人能够做到。因此，我准备启动一个开源的项目TwitterBEIS，给大家创造一些这样的机会，希望有能力和想法的测试人员参加。

Qualifications:

• Good English writing skills: we will be developing a software using some kinds of new techniques. We need to communicate with foreign communities. So English is very important. Also all documents, code comments and communication will be in English.
• Coding skills: you have to be able to write code since you will work on automation, code review, debugging etc.
• Quick learner: some techniques are new, you must ramp up quickly.
• Willing to learn advanced testing technologies.

Advantages:

• Development will deploy the second model I mentioned in my blog. That means you will do lots of code review and debugging.
• Other than that, you will be working on unit test, white box, automation so on and so forth. They all help to build your professional resume.
• Possibly change to a dev role once your coding skills are good enough.
• Use modern Web2.0 technology to work together as a startup.
• Directed by me in real project rather than articles.

Disadvantages:

• No payment: everything is volunteered and completely depends on fun, interests and learning.
• It will take you bunch of spare time.
