Quality First Software GmbH (QFS) is a German software development company located
south of Munich. It was founded in 2001 by Managing Director Gregor Schmid and
specializes in quality assurance for the Java platform.
The name "Quality First Software" not only refers to quality assurance in general,
but also stresses the high demands QFS makes on the quality of their own products.
The first product developed by QFS is QF-Test, a professional tool for the automated
testing of Java applications with a graphical user interface. Version 1.0 of
qftestJUI, the predecessor of QF-Test, was launched in October 2002. Since then, more
than 1500 licenses have been sold to over 500 customers from 40 countries.
Customers include blue-chips like BEA, HP, IBM, NEC, and Philips, as well as medium
and small companies, academic and public institutions, such as the County of Aarhus,
Denmark or the federal tax and revenue bureaus of Niedersachsen, Germany.
Since version 1.0 QF-Test has evolved continuously. Version 2.0 with support for
testing SWT/Eclipse based applications was released in December 2006. After a medium
upgrade in 2007 and a long, thorough beta period, version 3.0 with cross-browser web
testing support was released end of 2008.
