7 FAQ about QF-Test What is QF-Test? QF-Test is a professional tool for the creation, execution and management of automated system and load tests for Java and Web applications with a graphical user interface (GUI). QF-Test has been developed and distributed by Quality First Software GmbH (QFS) since What GUI technologies are supported for testing? For Java based applications the full toolkit set is covered starting with the traditional Swing (including Applets, Webstart, ULC, CaptainCasa), its successor JavaFX and also SWT, the Standard Widget Toolkit from Eclipse, including Plugins and RCP (Rich Client Platform) applications. Furthermore QF-Test provides cross-browser testing of Web GUIs including HTML5, AJAX (Angular, Smart (GWT), GXT / ExtGWT, ExtJS, ICEfaces, jquery UI, jquery EasyUI, Kendo UI, PrimeFaces, Qooxdoo, RAP, RichFaces, Vaadin, ZK). Further toolkits can be integrated with little effort if required, e.g. SAP UI5, Siebel Open UI and Salesforce. PDF documents can also be tested by QF-Test. 7

8 FAQ about QF-Test For which platforms is QF-Test available? QF-Test supports Java version 7, 8, 9 as well as 10 on Windows (Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Server 2016, 2012, 2008 R2), Linux and macos, for Swing and JavaFX it is also being used on other systems (Solaris, AIX, HP- UX). Which Java and browser versions are supported? Java Swing: Java 7, 8, 9 and 10 (Java 6 may work as well, but cannot be guaranteed). JavaFX: JavaFX version 8 or higher. Eclipse/SWT: SWT version 4.2 or higher on Windows and Linux (older versions on demand). Web testing: Internet Explorer (version 11), Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox (from version 38), Edge and Safari. Also headless browser: Chrome and Firefox. Mobile web applications can actually be tested via the Mobile Browser Emulation Mode. (March 2018, QF-Test version 4.2) 8

9 FAQ about QF-Test What are QF-Test s outstanding features? Easy to use Quick creation of tests with capture and playback, excellent usability through QF-Test s intuitive GUI, simple composing of complex tests without the need for programming. Highly flexible Automatic adaptation to changes in the application under test, intelligent recording and filtering, full access to recorded sequences, support for trees and tables, even with dynamic content. Powerful fine-tuned algorithms for component recognition, advanced programming elements (like loop constructs and logical if/else control structures) as well as variables and procedures allowing modularization, text processing with regular expressions, full access to the Java API of the application under test, integrated scripting with Jython, Groovy and JavaScript, XML/HTML based test reporting incl. screenshots. Well documented Extensive manual (user s guide with many examples and reference section), tutorial with many easy-tounderstand test scenarios for a quick start, FAQ for basic questions, both English and German language support, example test-suites, Videos. 9

10 FAQ about QF-Test Who does QF-Test use already? Over 1,000 companies in more than 50 countries, ranging from small ones to global players, among them the ten largest IT services companies worldwide are using more than 7,000 licenses, for example HP, Océ, Philips, Software AG, Tibco, Zend (see»references«). What is the advantage of automated system tests via the GUI? The indispensable unit tests can only test small parts of an application in isolation. However, most problems arise during the interaction of these parts on system level. GUI based tests drive an application, just like a real user, to validate the system as a whole. In addition, even complex scenarios can be covered by GUI tests, which is not possible by means of unit or protocol based tests. Precondition for an effective realization of GUI tests is a suitable tool like QF-Test. Intuitive usage, modular implementation, stable component recognition and low maintenance effort lead to a quick amortization. 10

11 FAQ about QF-Test Can QF-Test be integrated with other tools? Through different interfaces (Batch- and Daemon mode, scripting,...) and XML as primary data format QF-Test allows for flexible integration (among others Quality Manager, load tests with NeoLoad or Scapa TPP ) into various applications like Continuous integration and build tools (Ant, bamboo, Maven, CruiseControl, Hudson, Jenkins, TeamCity ) version management (CVS, SVN, Subversion; ClearCase, Git, Mercurial ) issue and defect tracking tools (Bugzilla, JIRA, ClearQuest, TestTrack Pro, Mantis... Out-of-the-box integrations are available with following test management products: ALM / Quality Center from HP, TestBench from Imbus, Klaros from Verit, QMetry, SQS- TEST/Professional Suite, TestLink (open source solution). How much does QF-Test cost? The price for one development license starts at 1,995 EUR (see»prices«) which is significantly below major competitors prices. All licenses are»floating«and can be transferred freely within one network. Runtime licenses, license leasing and a license server are also available. 11

12 FAQ about QF-Test Is a demo version available for download? Yes, you can request a free trial license for QF-Test with complete functionality on our homepage for four weeks. You can also download a free demo version anonymously, but the test-suites cannot be saved with this version. Both versions come with a tutorial for a quick start and the full documentation.
