Training at QFS

The training takes place on two consecutive days at our office in Geretsried (35 km south of Munich) or a nearby hotel. Small groups of about six participants are instructed in the effective use of QF-Test.

The first day covers all essential QF-Test basics from installation to simple Jython scripting. At the second day, some of these are further elaborated and combined with specialized topics like load-testing or troubleshooting. Each day can be booked separately. For a detailed time-table, please see our Training Flyer (PDF).

Advantages of this kind of training are the lower costs compared to on-site trainings and the possible exchange of experiences with participants from other companies.

Training and support via webinar

As an alternative to on-site or in-house training we are also offering an online variant in the form of webinar modules (= 1 day with 2 x 1.5 h training). These can be booked individually or en bloc with topics covering the full range from beginner to advanced level. An overview of all modules can be found in our Online Training Brochure (PDF). For further queries please contact training@qfs.de.

For short assignments, e.g. during evaluation or for support issues, webinars can also be a good and cost effective alternative to on-site support and training. Please contact training@qfs.de for details.

A webinar is a conference call with shared desktops. We have had very positive experience with GoToMeeting - even in high-security network environments. This tool quickly installs itself via your browser when you point it to the meeting URL received from us. No further preparations are necessary. For voice communication we simply use the phone. Multiple participants are possible.

Training and consulting on site

Our experienced consultants will gladly visit you on site and assist you with getting a good start with QF-Test. Together you will create a robust testing environment that will save valuable resources in the long run. Even expert teams will benefit from our consultant's valuable advice for optimizing the test architecture with QF-Test.

The main advantage of on-site consulting and training is its individual nature. Except for basic training examples, everything discussed will be pertaining directly to the specific problems of automating tests for your application. Also, a larger number of colleagues will be able to attend such a training without major efforts.
