Recently, the company has had heavy business, and I have resumed business testing that I have not done for more than a year.

There are many small needs, both troublesome and simple. In the testing process, I found many pain points that I had not realized before, such as functions with simple logic, but the result was delayed due to the testing environment.

For example, big data related tests, because the algorithms used are big data cluster servers online. In the test environment, cluster-based solutions such as Hive are not available because there is no huge real data and no server cluster, so you have to manually change to SQL to test. The level of trouble in the whole process was terrifying. Every step of your test, you need algorithm engineers to write you a SQL and then execute, of course, let me write I certainly do not do. The hardest part is the data. The data in the test environment is not representative.

But although a lot of small tests are very disturbing, but at the end of the will still be able to test in the cluster, take lazy opportunities, such as crack the bag.

In addition to daily brushing algorithm (Leetcode has been brushed out for easy difficulty, but it takes time for medium difficulty) and daily updating of public account and blog, I also had the idea of writing a hard science fiction related to testing technology. After consulting some suggestions from my friends, I decided to gradually serialize it. The author has also written a tomb raiding novel, so his writing is not particularly bad.

The novel is tentatively titled “The Earth is a Pie.”

Set in 2050, a test engineer for an Internet smart hardware company is commissioned to test smart wearables in a special polar environment. A bug was found. With the rigor and obsessive-compulsive mentality of a tester, he discovered a terrible fact after a series of rigorous and rigorous tests.

A bug about the earth: the earth is not a sphere, but a huge disk, ancient people said that the sky is round and the earth is true!

Then after he returned to the company, he began to use superior technology to discover why the earth was described as a sphere by the supreme Commander of mankind. (Tests and computer techniques will be explained frequently.)

After a series of planning, he brings along colleagues in development/product/operations to embark on a series of thrilling adventures, often using product development iterative techniques to save the day. Eventually they escaped northland and reached the South Pole fence, the boundary of the earth’s disk.

After fighting with the leader of the earth’s human special forces, he finally passes the Antarctic fence and sees the real universe, the sun and moon, and the stars, but it is all fake, it is all disguised.

Then they would climb to the other side of the earth’s disk, a world in perpetual darkness, where the continents and oceans were beyond our understanding and the physical and chemical formulas we had learned from childhood were no longer working. Here they have seen the collapse of the legend of the temple, also saw the abandoned lingshan, there are ruins of the Garden of Eden and lively so-called hell.

In the process of excavating an ancient relic, the main characters even found and participated in a protracted war: the Millennium War between the terrible underground and the lost Atlantis. During this period, the test engineer successfully launched an Internet revolution with his own technology and ended the war.

With the recognition of Atlantis, they finally learned from The mouth of God the origin of the whole universe and humanity, the beginning and future of everything. What is the real enemy? Why the human history of thousands of years of xiuxian soaring power, all over the sky Buddha, angels and demons, dragon and sorcerer, even God and nuwa all want to hide in the dark side of the earth? What the hell are they hiding from? Is there anything else in the world that can make them feel terrible?

After catching the last letter of the angels, the protagonist tore it up and said: Times have changed. What could not be done before can be done now. Don’t look down upon the human civilization that you have protected for 5,000 years.
