Troy Nichols, Developer & Tester, Convergys, Dallas, USA:
Excellent! Very impressed with the quick response time, it's much appreciated.
David A. Downey, Software Quality Assurance Analyst, Durham, NC, USA:
I had to implement testing on a new panel and the procedure builder made it so easy.
Almost everything I wanted and needed was created for me. The ability to copy a procedure
and have it paste in as a procedure call was the final stroke of brilliance!
Excellent work on both pieces of functionality! Thank you so much for making my day easier.
Jay Bhavsar, QA Analyst, Cybage, Pune, India:
I really thank you and all the members of the support group. I really appreciate the kind
of quick fast support and response provided. Love to have the same kind of support in
future which I am sure that I will get.
Mike, QC Technician / Senior Software Engineer, United States:
Although I am brand new to the tool (and to QA for that matter) my team and I are very
excited about the progress we have made in the QA area and QF-Test has been a big part of
that. So to answer your question .. yes .. very pleased with the tool. My team is
currently developing a new order entry system (written in Java Swing) and since we started
using QF-Test we have greatly reduced the number of bugs that have made their way to
users. I must say automated testing beats the heck out of the alternative.
Steinar Eliassen, Developer, Exie AS, Oslo, Norway:
As more of our product is being taken into "real use", stability is becoming more and more
important. I work daily on setting up tests for more and more parts of the software. The
more I've used QF-Test, the more impressed I am with it. I have rewritten our old test
script totally, as I have learned better ways to make it less dependant on the current
data we work on. Jython is now used for more complex "mapping". The list of bugs found by
the script is growing steadily. Your product makes our QA department more able to do what
they should do, focus on testing new features, rather than looking for new bugs in
"already tested" features. Everything I thought that QF-Test was missing, I found was
there, I just had to learn it. I have no suggestions on how to improve your product's
functionality; I'm really impressed with it.
Devi Gantakolla, QA manager, Compiere, Inc., Redwood Shores, USA:
I liked the webinar training very much mostly for the tailored use. For me, I have 10
years of automation tool experience. I can mostly get around the tools and hence with QFS,
I was able to get the basic training myself. I really needed the advanced topics. And most
of all due to budget issues on our end, this tailored topic webinar training was the best.
Huawei Luo, TIBCO Software Inc., USA:
QF-Test is the best GUI testing tool and has the best support team I ever saw.
Jacob Grydholt Jensen, Senior Consultant, Capgemini, Viby J., Denmark:
We have been constantly impressed by the responsiveness and competence demonstrated by
QFS. Our immediate problem was solved during the webinar and QFS support has since been
very helpful in ironing out the remaining wrinkles in our setup. Even though our setup is
far from common in the industry, QFS has at no point shied from the task at hand, but have
persisted in finding the root cause of the problem.
Weston Gross, Senior Business Analyst, State of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA:
I have been using QF-Test since 2004. I have evaluated other tools such as Test Complete and
other various freeware tools, but have found none as easy to use and dynamic as QF-Test. The
bottom line is that I wanted to be able to type stuff in the application and have the tool
play it back where the data could be variable. QF-Test handled that nicely and I am able to
rapidly test the application after a build. The bonuses that allow for data checking,
ability to create procedures for reusable code (very nice), and the Jython scripting
language to interact with the database and files has made QF-Test exceptional. I recently
upgraded to QFS version 2.2.2 and found one of my favorite features, the ability to
continue execution at any location in the script. This makes checking corrections while
running a script much easier. I have found no other automated testing tool, with as many
features, as easy to use as QF-Test.
Part of an automated tool evaluation is the quality of customer support. QFS has an email
directly to customer support and provides a timely response, usually less than a day. All
of my questions have been answered in a professional courteous way by a person, not a form
letter, and not a database FAQ search response, I really appreciate that.
Herwig Hosaeus, System Engineer, EADS MAS, Manching, Germany:
Out of all GUI test tools evaluated QF-Test was the most reliable and stable software in the
category capture/replay test automation for Java applications. Meanwhile, QF-Test is used as
preferred tool in-house at EADS.
Sean Kane, Manager of Test Engineering, Intervoice Inc., Dallas, USA:
Test speed: It had taken us a year and half to build up our regression test. But now we
can regression test the application in 1 week. It used to take 8 weeks. More importantly
than speed it has made our testing more consistent from one build to the next and the
error logs help identify problems quicker. To use your scale I would say we are 8 times
faster.
Gadi Goldbarg, Development Tools, QA Team Leader, Zend, Ramat Gan, Israel:
ROI - The usage of QF-Test has reduced my test cycle from 2 weeks (plus/minus) to 5 days
(since not all is automated yet). The sanity cycle now takes 2 days rather then 5 days and
is very close to full cycle.
Mikhail Chub, Software Testing Engineer in Automation, Infopulse, Kiev,
Ukraine:
Unfortunately, one of my best experiences in Automated Testing - with QF-Test - is
finished. All tests were automated for the project I had been involved in, and now I'm
automating tests for other applications using other technologies and tools.
As I have experience with different tools for automation, and can compare - when
automating with QF-Test, you are just writing tests/scripts and you don't care about
finding workarounds: it's not needed.
Annie Connell, Lead tester, HPD Software Limited, London, UK:
To date, I've written scripts which, consecutively, run for about 6 hours, and we are now
regularly running these on four different software builds. The software is highly
volatile, as we're taking on new users regularly now, and they all want their own special
ways of working incorporated - and existing users frequently find new ways of doing
business. Consequently significant changes are being promoted almost daily.
We've already, by daily checking of the results from the automated tests, trapped a number
of obscure but highly dangerous errors before they were delivered, so we're very pleased
with it.
We continue to be very impressed with QF-Test, and we recommend it to our customers, in
cases where they may be interested in doing their own automated acceptance tests.
We have shared our own procedures with at least one of these.
Dr. Matthias Wiskow, QA, Wind River Systems, Salzburg, Austria:
I was most pleasantly surprised about the power and robustness of QF-Test. I have yet to
encounter another tool which is able to execute tests recorded under Windows thus easily
under Linux equal to QF-Test.
In the areas critical for us QF-Test behaves according to our wishes, user-friendly and
stable. Our colleagues in the US expressed their satisfaction as well. Beside this
product's quality the quality of the delivered support led to the decision of employing
QF-Test productively for our UI test automation from a professional point of view.
Basil Baluta, CEO, Wairever Inc, Calgary AB, Canada:
QF-Test saved our bacon a few times and after nearly 3 man years of coding effort, we built
end-to-end test scripts with QF-Test, we released our product and only had 1 defect reported
after acceptance testing by our clients in 3 months, and that was due to a weird race
condition with a slower machine, not a missed regression test.
Chris Stanbridge, Senior Quality Engineer, E-Health Research Centre Brisbane,
Australia:
I am currently working with QF-Test pretty much on a daily basis. The intention is to
automate the entire regression test effort for our system. Right now about 85% of the
functional requirements are exercised by QF-Test.
There is another colleague here who uses QF-Test and a subset of the regression suite to
generate data in the application for customer demonstrations of our application. He's
happy with it because he used to generate the data manually.
I am content with the upgrade from qftestJUI to QF-Test so far and particularly happy with
the Data Driven functionality which works a treat.
I've worked with other major automation tools. For ease of use and flexibility, QF-Test is
the best tool I've used in automation. And of course the support is legendary, replies to
all my questions within 12 hours and I'm on the other side of the world!
Implementation of QF-Test has effectively cut the manual test effort from 4 days per
release to an overnight job. We can now assure existing functionality has not regressed by
pressing a button at the end of the working day. Be sure to keep up the good work, and
give me a shout when your company floats on the stock market.
Jin Kudo, Senior Localization Engineer, BEA Systems Japan, Tokyo, Japan:
QF-Test works well in almost all cases (the exceptions are due to our tool specific Eclipse
plug-ins). The product is really easy to use and we can also integrate it to our testing
environment to utilize product functionality by ourselves.
Derrik Ammons, Software QA Test Engineer, Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.,
San Jose, CA, USA:
Having thousands of test cases for our software management application,
automation is a necessity. In the past, we have used several automation tools
to assist in our testing effort from commercial software applications to tools
developed in-house. None of them compared to QF-Test when it comes to the ease
and speed of implementation. This full feature tool cut much of the manual
regression testing time down, considerably. This allowed our team to focus more
on the manual testing of the newer features.
Unlike the other tools, QF-Test made it easy to continue the test automation from release
to release of our application, through the integration of Jython. Although Jython
scripting was new to our test development team, it didn't take long before we were up and
running... thanks to the support team at QFS. The level of support is extraordinary. I
was a little doubtful at first when reading the testimonials about the support, but it
was, indeed, true. They are "very responsive" and "lightning quick".
Arno Hartmann, Quality assurance, Océ Printing Systems GmbH, Poing, Germany:
Océ PRISMAproduction Server - one of Océ's core platforms - is a high performance output
management system for corporate and commercial market segments. This solution creates a
unified - converged - platform for mid to very high volume transaction printing, and
simultaneously for publishing-type document printing. This platform can manage a variety
of printing systems, spanning the full gamut of output speeds.
Océ has decided to use QF-Test for quality assurance via GUI testing. A first workshop for
QF-Test took place with great success. We managed to increase our know-how about QF-Test to
a very high level which enables us to start developing our
PRISMAproduction-Server-QF-Test-Framework during the next weeks. We would like to thank
QFS for the workshop and the very competent education in the right dose. Now
we are looking forward to the second workshop.
Des Cullen, DCS, Ireland:
I am extremely satisfied with QF-Test. It has taken us into an area of confidence in our
releases that we never had before...
The main success is that our staff now see that we
have a regression testing tool that works and has caught issues before they were
released. It has greatly reduced the effort in actually carrying out the tests!
Isis Bauquis, Testing Engineer, Sword Linkvest SA, Switzerland:
We used QF-Test for the automation of functional tests at the IT department of the State
of Geneva. QF-Test was the only automation tool that worked on their specific, highly
customized Swing framework. We encountered the problematic of component naming and
integration with Quality Center, both of which we solved with the help of QFS' experienced
team. Technical support was always fast and highly efficient. Benefit/Price ratio is
excellent. Maybe documentation could be a little more thorough.
We congratulate the QFS team on its work and products!
David A. Downey, Software Quality Assurance Analyst, Durham, NC, USA:
I am very content. I really like the new functionality. I don't know how I got by before
without the ability to view variable values and the "execute from here" functionality.
The dependency functionality was confusing at first, but it is useful. No one else does
java thick client as well as you. Eventually I will be able to automate most of my testing
(if I get the time to put into developing the tests).
One of the things I have been most impressed with is the speed at which my support
questions are replied to. You all do an outstanding job of that. Keep up the good work.
The on-site training given by Martin was very useful. I got a lot out of it.
Chetan Vij, QA Manager, GE Medical Systems, Bangalore, India:
I love the lightning quick responses. This has helped us getting a nice start with QF-Test
and we are thrilled about it. Thanks for all the support!
Yuri Tsyganenko, QA Engineer, DataArt, Inc., Russia:
The help from QFS always was the most professional. Answers were very exact and detailed.
The evidence is in each answer on the mail list! Moreover, besides the helpful
information, there were always comments about further improvements. It's important to know
the developers are aware of our problems and are doing the best to solve them. It is in
contrast to support I got from special staff (from a big company) that was good mostly in
quoting manuals.
Help and support from QFS is the best I met! Thanks. Good job!
Bill Deegan, independent consultant, USA:
Thanks, as always, for the excellent support.
Jim Pottberg, Sciforma Corporation, Los Gatos CA, USA:
I think your product is quite amazing and we have been using it more and more as our
product matures. We have been faithful about using setName() wherever your product says
it is recommended and that, along with custom spreadsheet calls via your Jython interface,
have made our testing process totally resolution independent. (This is important to us
since we test on multiple platforms.)
We love QF-Test and use it most every day for building and running regression test scripts
for our product.
Eduardo J. D'Angelo, Director of Quality Control, Principia Partners LLC, Jersey
City, USA:
Principia uses QF-Test to automate testing of our newest version of the
Principia Structured Finance Platform, written in Java. QF-Test will become
the basis for automated regression testing of Principia GUI screens.
Anders Hoegh-Guldberg, Service Manager, Senior Consultant, Capgemini,
Denmark:
I'm quite satisfied with the features and usability of QF-Test. At my project at Capgemini we
find that QF-Test version 2.0 was improved with appropriate new features which we needed in
QF-Test 1.8.
Phil Cross, Lockheed Martin, Owego New York, USA:
QF-Test has become an essential part of our software verification process. Regression testing
of our Java application that previously took a full day to execute is now done in less
than an hour with QF-Test. The timely tech support from Gregor and the rest of your staff was
excellent. We have a much more reliable product thanks to QF-Test!
Krishna Chaitanya, QLogic, USA:
The level of support received from QFS in exploring various features of QF-Test and in
customizing them to our needs has been exemplary.
Responses from QFS to our queries have
always been prompt and accurate. In particular, the support provided in helping us deal
with our image comparison issue is highly appreciated. We have also benefited considerably
from the support archives made public on the QFS website.
Peter Lee, Quality Analyst, Creditex, New York:
Best regards and thanks for all your support this past year. Your companies customer
service is the best I've seen in terms of promptness and accommodation.
Ryan Richard, Sr. Manager Product Development, Magma Design
Automation, USA:
Magma is committed to delivering high-quality software to our customers, and QF-Test is the
commercial software we found that best allowed us to build an automated, scalable and
maintainable cross-platform testing infrastructure for our Java/Swing user interfaces to
meet our QA requirements. It's the testing tool best meets our needs.
Benoit Derouet, Neotys, Aubagne, France:
We are happy with QF-Test so far. We use it to test our load testing software NeoLoad, it
saves us a lot of time. We use QF-Test since the first version of our software, the
scripts are easy to create and to maintain. All the tests of the product are integrated in
a nightly build process and we have a test report in our mail boxes every morning. This is
very useful to know the quality of the software during the development process day after
day.
Ralph van Roosmalen, QA Manager, Planon, The Netherlands:
We work in an agile environment and we want to assure that our product complies to the
highest quality levels. We don't want to test this once a year, once a quarter or once a
month but every day!
With QF-Test we are capable to build test scripts that test our application every night
automatically. The software gives us the possibilities to build a framework with standard
procedures, so we can build and maintain tests quick and structured.
--------
With help of the test scripts we are finding bugs almost at a daily basis. This justifies
all the effort we put in QF-Test.
At this time we can create scripts almost as fast as when testing manually if there are
already procedures available for this functional module. One hour of manual testing takes
1,5 to 2 hours to automate. I think this is a very good performance.
When we start with a new module and have to create procedures and record all the new
components this performance is of course lower.
Markus Stäuble, RTL Television GmbH, Cologne, Germany:
RTL Television utilizes QF-Test for automated quality assurance of our newscast
editorial system. Here QF-Test is the key element of an environment built around and
upon it. Within this environment several instances of QF-Test are running. These are
coordinated for automated execution of parallel actions.
Only after the application of QF-Test quick yet quality assured releases became
possible. Today this tool is indispensable for final acceptance.
Jeff Grimshaw, Senior Software Developer, Raleigh, North Carolina:
Thanks, that works great. I have to say that QF-Test is a wonderful tool for creating and
maintaining Swing tests.
Tung Nguyen, Securify, California:
I'm the main user of QF-Test in our company for testing our Java Apps. Our Java Apps are
written using Swing/AWT and QF-Test is a perfect tool for testing them. I'm quite happy with
QF-Test because it's very easy to use and does its jobs nicely. Writing test automation
scripts with it is a feat. I find it very easy to set-up/write/excecute test cases. There
were couple of times at the beginning when I had some newbie problems, but nothing Greg
couldn't solve in matter of hours. Hoooray to Greg! :)
I think QF-Test is a wonderful product. I have yet to use it to its full potential, but
that's only matter of time. Please keep up the good work!
Gavin Walsh, TISL, England:
Gregor, I have never had such timely support in 16 years of IT. You and your
company are to be applauded! ... Regards, Gavin
Simon, Shanghai, China:
QF-Test is the high effective regression testing tool, reduce lots of man days and time on
regression testing, which is very important for us to verify the product quality if time
or QA resource are limited.
Bugs/Defects are easy to be found, and usually in time. After
source codes are changed, some side-effect or other bugs may be caused, but QF-Test may find
it easily at once. Some times, we use QFT test cases to let newbies familiar with our
products. The QF-Test report is the main guideline of our product quality.
