With QF-Test it is possible to build a framework for the automation of GUI testing for desktop applications. The visual editor, with which non-coders can create test scripts without expertise, moves the bar of test case creation. It helps catching regressions and thus makes sure that user experience is smooth.

1. I have been using QF-Test for 17 years, since 2005, for both Web and Java Swing apps. Very enjoyable to work with, especially if you are a creative individual. It gives me a deep sense of satisfaction. 2. Semi-automated development, very easy to create a framework. Test automation scripts should not be as complicated as API apps they test. It allows one to develop and try any number of alternative solutions for a problem within a very short time. Even at runtime, while at a breakpoint, you can create, redesign entire test cases, record and insert any additional functions. You jump back and force, change values of variables, test and retest new and old functions as many times as needed without stopping the program. 3. Graphical/image-based editor as opposed to hard coding, thus ease of comprehension even for outsiders. One manual tester automated a complicated scenario just by looking at my “scripts.” By the end of the day, you feel as fresh as in the morning. 4. Simple to use but provides broad functionalities for all possible scenarios. 5. Robust and flexible image verification in the GUI. You can record an image even in the cell of a grid. Nine different algorithm types allow making recorded images immune to variations in color and don’t update them for years, if ever. 6. Multiple steps in component/element recognition. Sometimes I ask developers to set a name or any other ID to guarantee uniqueness and minimize updates due to changes in API, but only to minimize updates if they add one more component to 10 similar ones. 7. Customer/tech support is exemplary. I am in New York and they are in Germany; nevertheless, usually, I get an answer the same or the next day. Even in an environment of high-security level like in my company, they have a lot of means to get all needed info and troubleshoot your issues.

Since 2011, I have been working with QF-Test in various projects. What I like most is the overall stability, the endless possibilities, and of course, the legendary support. With QF-Test, you can quickly and easily master any project challenges.
