Processing of personal and other data
For technical reasons the following data among others are stored by our provider (in so called server log files) when the latest available &qt; version is retrieved from the QFS web server:
In addition the following data may be transferred with the query to select the correct update version:
This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal data possibly provided at a different time and does not allow drawing conclusion to a dedicated person. The data may be used for statistical purpose to optimize our web presence and offers.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Article 6 para. 1 point b and Article 6 para. 1 point c in conjunction with Article 32 GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the version information to be delivered to the user's computer. For this the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In case of the collection of data for the provision of the version information, this is the case when the respective session has ended. To detect web service failures including security issues data is stored for 42 days and then automatically deleted.
The collection of data for the provision of the version
information and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation
of the web service. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the
user. However, the version information query and thus usage of the web service can be
deactivated via &qt; user options (see

In addition the following data may be transferred with the query to improve the support quality and to speed up the support process:
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Article 6 para. 1 point b and Article 6 para. 1 point c in conjunction with Article 32 GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow the transfer of support request using the browser web form. For this the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In case of the collection of data for the provision of technical support, this is the case when the business relation with the customer has ended. To detect web service failures including security issues data is stored additionally on the web server for 42 days and then automatically deleted.
The collection of data for the provision of technical support and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the web service. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user. However, it is possible for the user to directly send an email to support@qftest.com instead of selecting the convenience action from the "Help" menu.
doc/context/de/context.properties resp.
doc/context/en/context.properties is required. If (and only if) this file does not
exists, an online version of the file is requested from the QFS server.
For technical reasons the following data among others are then stored by our provider (in so
called server log files):
More information has already been described in the section "Server data for version query".

and their content delivery peers using an encrypted connection.
For technical reasons the following data is submitted along the requests:
Please see the privacy policy of the aforementioned service providers for details on their data processing.
To deactivate the automatic webdriver download, you can specify the webdriver to use explicitly in the "Start
Web Engine" node by pointing the qftest.web.webdriver.driver Java property to the existing driver file.
&qt; run logs are a critical tool for analyzing automated test runs in order to locate errors in the test implementation of the system under test. Besides details about the system environment and executed test steps a run log may also contain textual output from the system under test, screenshots of connected monitors or virtual desktops, or the HTML code of the page tested in a browser.
Type and amount of data to be stored in run logs can be adjusted via the &qt; run log options (see
The default directory where run logs are stored depends on the operating system. The
current value can be retrieved via the menu
dir.runlog. The directory can also be explicitly defined via the
command line argument &ref_argRunlogdir;.
In addition to run logs &qt; also creates internal logs for the purpose of diagnosis of &qt; itself or the connection to the system under test.
Internal logging of &qt; is done in five rotating text files named
qftestN.log with N = [,1,2,3,4]. Connection log data to the
&SUT; are stored in the text file qfconnect.log.
The default directory for internal logs is depending on the operating system. The current
value can be retrieved via the menu
dir.log. The directory can also be explicitly defined via the
command line argument &ref_argLogdir;. An invalid directory parameter deactivates internal
logging.
Here we'd like to emphasize that &qt; is originally meant as tool for software test automation. There we always presume that our customers perform software tests within designated test environments with special test data because use of real personal data is not permitted according to data protection regulations, following the principles of dedication to purpose, minimization of data as well as anonymization.
