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.

The TestRunListener interface can be used to execute additional actions before or after the execution of each node or in the case of any exception / error. This actions can (for example) be used for testdocumentation or error analysis. In the following some TestRunListeners are introduced (Jython server scripts).

It is relatively easy to take a screenshot of the complete picture with the help of QF-Test. For example, to create a screenshot of the current desktop, only the procedure logScreenshot must be called.
