This tutorial is meant as an introduction and demonstration of QF-Test. It will show you the different components and functions and guide you through the necessary steps to set up your own test-suite. Included in later chapters of this tutorial are more advanced topics such as the usage of the QF-Test debugger.

We hope that this tutorial will grow along with QF-Test with new examples being added as new features become available. For this reason we have tried to keep the chapters of this tutorial independent of each other, so you can always come back to it and work through some new chapter without having to go through the previous ones.

Working through the whole tutorial should take you 4.5 up to 6.5 hours, dependent on your previous knowledge. The estimated duration for each chapter is indicated at its beginning.

As an alternative to private study, QFS offers training courses for QF-Test. Details can be found at http://www.qfs.de/en/qftest/training.html.

This tutorial is also available as HTML online version at http://www.qfs.de/en/qftest/tutorial.html.

In order to make this tutorial more useful we need your help. It is always hard for the developer of a product to guess which features are important to the users; which of them are easy to understand and use and which remain a mystery. That is why we want to encourage you to give us feedback about what you would like to see in this tutorial. Of course we would also like to hear about any problems you have, either because the examples don't work for you or because you find them missing the point or whatever. In the end it is your feedback that determines the quality of this tutorial. Please send all comments, bug reports, wishes etc. to qftest@qfs.de.
