How-To

Since QF-Test 10, AI-driven capabilities are integrated directly into your testing workflow. This post shows how to connect GitHub Copilot to QF-Test using a simple custom model and the Copilot CLI.

This text was originally published as a ZK Small Talk. ZK is a framework for building web applications with Java and a long-standing partner of QF-Test.

In this blog post, I will tell you all about how to control how QF-Test scrolls your web application and how to control that scrolling yourself.

Scale windows in QF-Test rather than maximize them – this ensures stable and reproducible tests. If you still need full-screen mode, you can maximize windows with a small script.

Screenshots from QF-Test can be saved easily with a simple script. This allows screen recordings to be used specifically for further analysis or documentation purposes – without any detour via the run log.

We explain why QF-Test is so much better at testing web applications than other tools and what this “CustomWebResolver” has to do with it.

In this blog post we unveil the full potential of QF-Test plugins.

For many people a picture is worth a thousand words. That’s why, in this article, we will show how to add various annotations to screenshots using QF-Test.

QF-Test can be integrated with common CI tools like Jenkins and TeamCity. In this post, we demonstrate how to integrate QF-Test into TeamCity CI in three easy steps

QF-Test is multi-lingual – and many of our users are, too. In this post we explain how you can control the interface language of QF-Test.

We are always working on improving component recognition in QF-Test. With QF-Test 6.0 we introduced a completely new paradigm: SmartID

Strong CSP rules make it more difficult to test them with Firefox from version 99 on.

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.

Sure, a team of testers can handle extensive test projects faster and better than a single person. But some things that may seem simple at first actually can become much more difficult when working in a team.

Excel files can be read into QF-Test using a simple procedure call where the procedure qfs.utils.files.readExcelFile must be called.

QF-Test natively supports testing websites with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, some others and even good old Internet Explorer. But there are plenty of other, lesser-known browsers that you might still want to run your tests with, such as Chromium, Brave, Iron, Vivaldi and Yandex.

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).
