AI-generated test drafts are a great start, but “AI Instructions” alone aren’t robust enough for long-term testing. Here’s how to turn them into stable, native QF-Test suites by recording them, and what’s coming in QF-Test 11.1.

How to turn your own QF-Test procedures into a custom, self-documenting MCP toolkit for AI agents.

QF-Test has always been about reliable, maintainable test automation for web, desktop, Java-based, and mobile applications. With the new AI integration in QF-Test 10, you can enhance your tests with AI-driven insights — and the best part is, you don’t need to rely on cloud services. In this post, we …

Since QF-Test 10, AI-driven capabilities are integrated directly into your testing workflow. This post shows how to connect GitHub Copilot to QF-Test using a simple custom model and the Copilot CLI.

This text was originally published as a ZK Small Talk. ZK is a framework for building web applications with Java and a long-standing partner of QF-Test.

In this blog post, I will tell you all about how to control how QF-Test scrolls your web application and how to control that scrolling yourself.

Scale windows in QF-Test rather than maximize them – this ensures stable and reproducible tests. If you still need full-screen mode, you can maximize windows with a small script.

Screenshots from QF-Test can be saved easily with a simple script. This allows screen recordings to be used specifically for further analysis or documentation purposes – without any detour via the run log.

We explain why QF-Test is so much better at testing web applications than other tools and what this “CustomWebResolver” has to do with it.

A blog post from our partner Webswing. Explore the potential of this transformative collaboration and see how your organization can benefit from migrating Java applications to the web with Webswing and QF-Test.

The Webswing Migration Framework is an innovative way to migrate the UI of legacy Java applications to native web components while keeping the underlying business logic unchanged. And QF-Test is along for the ride as the premier Webswing testing solution.

Our parent company mgm technology partners has published a blog post about how they have been using QF-Test to supercharge their test automation efforts over the last 10 years.

QF-Test is multi-lingual – and many of our users are, too. In this post we explain how you can control the interface language of QF-Test.

We are always working on improving component recognition in QF-Test. With QF-Test 6.0 we introduced a completely new paradigm: SmartID

The relationship between software testers and software developers can fraught with tension. But if everyone is free to bring their skills and their focus to the table, together, we can build great software.

In March of 2022, part of our development team visited the JavaLand conference. Here are some impressions from the event.

Day in, day out, our diligent support team answers our customers’ questions. Here are some of their answers about data drivers, error message filtering, and variable defaults.

Running multiple tests at once could improve test execution time a lot (if raw system performance is not a bottleneck) while saving lots of infrastructure overhead because everything can run on one machine.

Sure, a team of testers can handle extensive test projects faster and better than a single person. But some things that may seem simple at first actually can become much more difficult when working in a team.
