QF-Test  –  The GUI Test Tool for Java and Web

Upgrades

QF-Test is available in several variants which differ only in the supported GUI technology. For each product, development and runtime licenses are offered. Please see the License Types page for details about the product and license types.

Development and Production Versions

The middle part of a QF-Test version number determines the kind of version. Even numbers designate "production" versions while odd numbers represent "development" versions.

"Production" here means that only bug-fixes and very minor new features will be implemented for such versions. This sort of stability is very important for production use.

Development versions are available for a limited time during development cycles. They include the latest features and are tested just as thoroughly as production versions. They are ideal starting points for new users and give customers a chance to prepare for a medium or major upgrade.

When new features have consolidated and proven useful, a development branch is frozen and superceded by a new production release. Development versions have a limited lifetime of typically three months after release. Before a development release expires we will provide either the next production version or a new development release with extended lifetime.

At this time, the latest production version 3.2 has just been released and no development version is currently available.

Medium Upgrades

A medium upgrade is an upgrade between two production versions of QF-Test with the same major version number. Users with a valid Maintenance Agreement can upgrade to QF-Test version 3.2 for free. This free upgrade is restricted to the same QF-Test product type (see Product Types page). Without Maintenance Agreement, the price for the medium upgrade from version 3.0 to 3.2 is 20% of the current license price for the respective product.

Major Upgrades

Users with a valid Maintenance Agreement for QF-Test are entitled to a free major upgrade for all licenses covered by the Agreement.

For users without a valid Maintenance Agreement, license upgrades from a QF-Test version older than 3.0 to QF-Test version 3.2 are available starting from 50% of the current license price, depending on the old version.

Upgrade to an enhanced QF-Test product

Upgrading to another QF-Test product supporting additional GUI technologies (see Product Types page) is possible at any time. For further information or an individual offer, please contact qfs@qfs.de.
