City cycling – The challenge cup goes to QFS
2017-06-19 until 2017-07-09, Geretsried, Germany: In the city cycling event 2017 QFS won lots of prizes – we really merit these prizes, since we rode our bikes for three weeks. The challenge cup is now presented in the meeting room for the most active bicycle team in Geretsried (almost 2,000 km and 280 kg CO2 were saved). Especially one of our colleagues from Leipzig cycled after our summer party from Geretsried back home to Leipzig in three days. The committee had good intuition: The winner’s old backback was not very comfortable and so his prize was a new trekking backpack.

QFS on camels
2017-06-30 -2017-07-01, Valley, Germany: The 30th of June will stay positive in remembrance of lots of QFS employees and family members. When do you usually ride a camel – in Bavaria, sleep in an oriental tent between camels, lamas, alpacas, goats, horses and … boas? All this and even more happened on the 30th of June and in the following night at the camel farm. The lively and motely QFS team discovered the Mangfall valley by foot and on camels and was even influenced by the stoic calm of the animals. Back at the farm an Indian buffet was served in the oriental tent where also the snake show took place and some of us cured their aversion against boas by touching them. At the campfire the guitar was played and the small fell asleep and dreamed like the large afterwards in the oriental tent of The Arabian Nights.

QF-Test recognizes GWT objects even in obfuscated mode
In web sites that were created with the Ajax Toolkit GWT complex elements such as trees, tables etc. are a big challenge. Furthermore they are - intentionally - falsified by the obfuscated mode of GWT. For this reason many test tools have problems to recognize dynamically generated elements. QF-Test, however, goes one level deeper here and recognizes the elements by “getting past the obfuscation”. Thus, QF-Test ensures a reliable component recognition also for GWT.Features QF-Test/web
