On Tuesday April 24, 2018 Neotys und Muthpartners will tell you: How QF-Test and NeoLoad can provide better Web load tests. The webinar is for free and will take place from 11.00 a.m. to 12 p.m. CEST.

Martin Moser continues his popular special webinars. A special webinar session lasts about 1.5 hours and costs 125.00 EUR (net) per participant. Reserve your seat via webinar@qftest.com or +49 8171 38648-10.

Quality First Software has won the first prize in the first year of participation in this competition in the category “small IT companies”. Even the host was surprised that a company can have such a good start and just few adjustments have to be done.

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!

QF-Test (of QFS) and Neoload (of Neotys): a tool wedding with the perfect witness Muth Partners.

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.

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@qftest.com 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.
