QF-Test
QF-Test automates GUI tests for desktop, web, and mobile applications.
What QF-Test is
QF-Test automates GUI tests for desktop, web, and mobile applications. Users can build tests in a graphical node-based interface or use record-and-replay without coding skills. Depending on edition and platform, it can test Java, Windows, web, Android, and iOS applications. Batch and daemon modes support headless execution on continuous integration servers. QF-Test includes an interactive debugger, customizable XML reports, and HTML reports with screenshots of errors. Listed integrations include Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, Bamboo, TeamCity, Ant, and Maven, alongside command-line, scripting, REST, and XML reporting interfaces. Licenses are floating; subscriptions include maintenance and support, and a one-time purchase is available on request. A four-week trial license is offered, but downloaded software without a license cannot save test suites. Optional third-party AI features can transmit test-related information to a configured provider; these features can be disabled, and communications are logged for review. The maker says it offers products and services to companies, with certain academic, nonprofit, or open-source license options potentially available. QF-Test was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Geretsried, Germany.
