Have a look at QF-Test

A test-suite in QF-Test is mainly represented by a tree structure of different node types. It may contain test-sets and test-cases as well as reusable procedures and component information. On the righthand side a detail view displays all attributes of the currently selected tree node.

QF-Test welcome screen – The welcome screen contains a number of helpful links to main entry points like demo video, quickstart wizard, tutorial, manual, FAQ and demo suites.

Creation of the automated tests without programming: You can create and replay your first tests easily via record/replay without needing any programming skills. The tests are fully editable with our low-code interface and can be modified at any point in the execution path. The test run is presented in a clear tree structure.

Stable Automated GUI testing: QF-Test masters complex elements like dynamic trees and tables. The tests are tolerant to UI changes. The sophisticated recognition mechanism leads to extraordinary maintainability and low maintenance effort, the most important factor in software test automation. Thanks to the new SmartIDs, objects such as buttons or text fields are addressed even more directly and it is even possible to write tests before an application is fully developed (Test-driven development.

Test debugger – The integrated test debugger proves very useful for step-by-step execution. It allows setting of breakpoints, a continued test-run at a different position, inspection of variable binding etc.

Run-log with error – All detailed information and results of a test-run are stored in the run-log. Also organized as tree structure it allows convenient handling and is the central resource for error analysis.

HTML report – HTML reports provides a quick overview about the tests performed. Beside the overall result it contains numbers of successful, failed and skipped test-cases including detailed information on durations, error messages and screenshots.

Dark Mode: Run-log with error – All detailed information and results of a test-run are stored in the run-log. Also organized as tree structure it allows convenient handling and is the central resource for error analysis.

Facts & Features

Record, Replay & Edit

Creation of automated tests without programming

You can create and replay your first tests easily via record/replay without needing any programming skills. The tests are fully editable with our low-code interface and can be modified at any point in the execution path. The test run is  presented in a clear tree structure.

Robust component recognition

Stable Automated GUI testing

QF-Test masters complex elements like dynamic trees and tables. The tests are tolerant to UI changes. The sophisticated recognition mechanism leads to extraordinary maintainability and low maintenance effort, the most important factor in software test automation. Thanks to the new SmartIDs, objects such as buttons or text fields are addressed even more directly and it’s even possible to write tests before an application is fully developed (Test-driven development).

Flexibility via scripting

Jython, Groovy and JavaScript

QF-Test is based on Java this is the reason, so you can create tests in the common scripting languages Jython, Groovy and JavaScript. Any Java Code or JavaScript code is executable in the browser. They make you can carry out complex checks and actions.

Daily monitoring ensures fast and high quality

Daily monitoring ensures fast and high quality. From the start of the project, daily monitoring ensures the quality of the existing functionalities through automated tests. Any errors that occur are quickly detected and can be corrected in a timely and cost-effective manner – before time-consuming refactoring or delivery of the software (faster ROI).

Backward compatibility of versions

QF-Test supports technologies in the long term and ensures stable tests and high quality for you in the long term. This makes your investment in test automation sustainable – something our many long-standing customers appreciate very much.

Testing PDF documents

PDF documents can be tested like a normal application with any developer license independent of the GUI. Textual and graphical checks for individual elements are common. There are algorithms also for fuzzy image comparisons.

Continuous Integration & 3rd Party Tools

Durch XML als primäres Datenformat und verschiedene Schnittstellen (Batchausführung über Kommandozeile, Daemon-Modus, Skripting, REST, Standard-Reports) erlaubt QF-Test die flexible Integration mit anderen Werkzeugen, z.B. in den folgenden Bereichen:

Integrations

Products

Continuous Integration and build tools

e.g. Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, Bamboo, Travis CI, Circle CI, TeamCity, Ant, Maven, CruiseControl

Virtual desktops

e.g. Citrix, VMware, VirtualBox

Docker containers

QF-Test supports containerized Testing via Docker

Version control

e.g. Git, SVN/Subversion, CVS, Mercurial

Test management

e.g. ALM/ QualityCenter by MicroFocus/ HP, TestBench by Imbus, QMetry, TestLink, IBM Rational Quality Manager

JIRA

and JIRA PlugIns like TestRail, Zephyr, X-Ray, TM4J via REST

Data Driven Testing

with Excel, CSV and all kind of data bases

Error tracking

e.g. JIRA, MantisBT, Bugzilla

Java in the browser

Webswing, JPro

Load and performance tests

via daemon mode or tools like NeoLoad

Connection to the Robot Framework

QF-Test procedures can be called as Robot Framework keywords

Docker and QF-Test

Docker containers

QF-Test is available as a Docker image and can be flexibly deployed in scalable Docker environments. This enables parallel test execution.

Keyword-driven Testing

Keyword-driven testing allows the execution of test cases directly without having to create them in QF-Test. Text steps can be read and executed from a planning document or the specification, e.g. Excel or another test management tool.

Behavior-driven Testing

Tools for behaviour driven testing like Cucumber can easily be integrated into QF-Test. Using this approach allows testers to describe test-cases more or less in continuous text and sentences. But the tester needs to follow a predefined vocabulary at the beginning of the sentence.

Data-driven testing

Flexible integration of internal or external data, e.g. from CSV and Excel files or direct database access. Other data sources can be integrated via script extension, allowing a test case to be executed exhaustively with an array of data variants.

Standard library

Modularization without programming. Recurring actions can be modularized in procedures making adaptations only necessary in the procedures (no redundant test-”code” or maintenance trap). These are highly reusable through parametrization.

Error analysis and Reporting

Detailed run-logs with debugger functionality in HTML and XML format for an effective error analysis including screenshots of the error situation. Automatic error handling, which grants continued execution of the whole test collecting errors in a single report. Verification points as standard checks or custom checks (via scripting).

Working in a team

The modular structure of the tests and an import mechniam for the component information enable smooth team work.

Quickstart Wizard

The Quickstart Wizard helps to set up your first tests in a few steps, recognizing the right technology automatically.

Remote test execution

The tests can be executed on a remote device which might run in a daemon mode.
