| QF-TEST |
| The Java GUI Test Tool |
|
|
|
|
| QF-Test is a tool for the creation, execution and management of automated system and load tests for Java applications with a graphical user interface (GUI). It runs on Windows and all major Unix systems. QF-Test requires Java version 1.4 or higher for itself and Java version 1.3 or higher for the system under test. |
|
| Introduction |
|
| Verification and validation through testing is a major building block of the quality assurance process. GUI tests are vital because they are performed from the view of the end-user of the application. Besides, they typically cover the entire application, since the functionality of the application is reflected in and accessed through its graphical user interface. |
|
| Automated tests help to greatly reduce the time and thus the cost spent on this key segment. Furthermore, automation ensures that tests are performed regularly and consistently, resulting in early error detection which leads to enhanced quality and shorter time to market. You can view vulnerability audits in real-time for immediate feedback, early detection and response planning. Alternatively, you can save vulnerability audits to a database for offline analysis and reporting. You can also schedule vulnerability audits by day and time (such as at night or on weekends) to minimize or eliminate any noticeable impact on system or network performance. |

| Four key factors determine the efficiency of test automation with QF-Test: |
|
- Unavoidably, a program changes in many ways during development. Only tests that are reusable with a minimal effort achieve any gain over manual testing. Being written in Java itself, QF-Test adapts to the system being tested, resulting in an exceptionally high test reusability for Java applications.
- Using QF-Test is intuitive and testers should have their first tests up and running within just a few hours. This reduces the initial cost of introducing QF-Test into the QA process.
- Extensive documentation is available for users who are approaching the product with differing background and skill levels, thus enabling testers as well as developers to get the most out of QF-Test.
- With its natural user interface QF-Test offers a powerful set of features such as variables, procedures and scripting, enabling QA to run sophisticated tests, pushing the tested application to the limit.
