JavaFX: Looking smart, testing smart 

With Java8 Oracle determines JavaFX as the successor of the good old Swing GUI toolkit. However, Oracle not only cares about development but also about how users will be able to test their FX applications.

Actually, QF-Test is the answer as it supports JavaFX in a professional way like no other tool, as confirmed by Oracle. QF-Test provides seamless support for JavaFX GUI testing even in combination with Swing or embedded web browser components. Thanks for all the positive feedback we received so far!
