Can't be done, doesn't exist! QF-Test supports many web toolkits and frameworks out of the box. If yours is not included or if you have your own solutions in use, they can be individually addressed and tested with the help of our CustomWebResolver (mapping).
If you are interested please contact us and we will have a look at your project together.
QF-Test abstracts the DIV hierarchies to logical GUI elements and recognizes the components reliably even after several releases.
Web test automation engineers encounter difficulties because there’s a major gap to be bridged: Browsers don't have any concept high-level UI elements like trees, so these have to be implemented by the toolkit creators, using the only means available: The browser's DOM. As a result, a simple UI tree gets mapped to hundreds of DOM nodes (typically DIV nodes) with an intricate structure. This mapping of high-level UI elements to DOM nodes causes an explosion of complexity that has to be addressed by test engineers.
One of the key features of QF-Test is the ability to reduce that complexity to the level of the original UI, by collapsing the complex, deeply nested hierarchy of DOM nodes back into a relatively flat structure of high-level UI components that can be addressed and manipulated easily. This ability allows testers to concentrate on the functionality they need to automate and leave handling (and hiding) the underlying complexity to QF-Test.
Reusability of test only, if the components can be found again in the modified UI.
Requirement to the web testing tool: robust component recognition
Watch our video explaining how QF-Test helps you to reduce the complexity in web application automation testing to a minimum.
Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP): faster and more stable alternative to WebDriver
Compared to this competing products, QF-Test offers various advantages as a mature tool for test automation.
The high-level API provided by the frameworks and toolkits enables developers to create applications with a pleasing and highly responsive user interface with excellent user acceptance rates quickly. This diversity is a special challenge for web test automation.
