This release adds support of JavaFX SubScene components. The mobile emulation mode has been further improved and also included are the usual updates for the current browser versions as well as a few bug fixes.

This release adds support for testing SUTs based on Java 10. Thanks to the direct support for the mobile emulation mode of Chrome simulation of mobile browsers is now much easier. Also included are the usual updates for the current browser versions and a few bug fixes, but fewer than new features which is a remarkable feat for a dot-one version.

On the one hand this special webinar will be about the integration of test approaches that usually are not covered by QF-Test. On the other hand QF-Test 4.2 comes with a bunch of interesting new features like PDF testing that are really worth to have a look.

Some of the great highlights of QF-Test version 4.2 are: Java 9 support, testing of PDF documents, JavaScript as new scripting language, support of the web toolkits Angular and Smart GWT, headless web-testing and testing of REST services.

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

On Saturday the 25th of November 2017 Quality First Software GmbH received the Dörte-Sambraus-Award which is awarded to private citizens, companies and organizations that are socially committed to the support of children and teenagers.

Now GUI test automation also for web pages available that were written in Smart GWT or Angular. Resolvers for Smart GWT Version 6.1 and Angular (Version 4, Version 2, Angular JS) including the UI components Bootstrap and Material make this happen.

Test automation handles the increasing testing effort and saves time in comparison to manual testing. These questions are answered within this article: Test automation and ROI.

You may find it handy that necessary license updates now can be activated simply via the ‘Help’→’Update license…’ menu action. Also helpful to see are the GUI engines/technologies that QF-Test connects with during the SUT start sequence, which are now displayed in the QF-Test terminal.

This release brings support for Firefox 43 and fixes some minor issues.

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

Act now to secure a place in our next compact course in German language at the QFS headquarters in Wolfratshausen near Munich - and to explore how to use QF-Test highly efficiently. Recommendation of a course participant: “I was fully pleased with the course. Both the training and the product (QF-Test) are very professional.” Details

This release brings support for Firefox 42 and fixes a handful of subtle bugs.

Component recognition for web pages especially in combination with AJAX toolkits means a particular challenge in GUI testing. By use of a so called CustomWebResolver in QF-Test you can adapt and significantly improve recognition for your web application. This course is offered on October 6th by our senior trainer Martin Moser and ist suitable for developers and advanced users interested in web testing. The session is going to take 1.5 hours and costs 100 € per participant. For reservations or further information please contact sales@qfs.de or +49 8171 386 48-0. Details

This release mainly brings support for Firefox 41 and Ext JS 6, but it also includes fixes for various subtle issues in all GUI engines and is a generally recommended update.

The introductory videos ‘The Quickstart Wizard’ and its variant for web applications ‘The Quickstart Wizard Web’ show how to begin working with your own application. The two hands-on guides for handling ComponentNotFoundExceptions in simple and more complex cases should be very helpful for beginners as well as experienced QF-Test users.Videos

QF-Test is now ready for Windows 10, except that of course Microsoft’s new browser Edge is not supported yet.  Besides the updates for Firefox versions 38.1 ESR, 39 and 40 as well as Eclipse/SWT 4.5, which were already released as patches, this release includes support for the AJAX toolkit RAP at version 3.0 and tests for Java FX on Mac OS X run much better now.

This patch fixes a crash of Firefox 39 on Windows, caused by changes to the memory management shortly before the release of Firefox 39. It also fixes handling of Firefox version 38.1 ESR and adds experimental support for Firefox 40.

Optimize your use of QF-Test by scripting languages - basic course suitable for testers and non-developers, too. Our senior trainer and consultant Martin Moser offers opportunity in English language for Jython on July 6th and Groovy on July 7th, both in the afternoon. German versions are offered in the morning respectively. The sessions are going to take 1.5 hours each and cost 100 € per participant and webinar.
