QF-Test 7.0 is our latest and greatest version of QF-Test.
Historically, big updates to QF-Test brought support for new GUI technologies. This time, however, the focus is on the experience of using QF-Test itself...
Most noticeable in QF-Test 7.0 is the streamlined UI. On top of that, there is the long-requested, beautiful new dark mode.
The paradigm shift towards SmartID is now accomplished, thanks to a complete overhaul of the algorithm for determining the best label for a component.
Testing web applications is greatly improved thanks to an intuitive new way of configuring CustomWebResolvers, complemented by a brand-new visual UI inspector.

The main headline is support for testing Android applications. The familiar features and concepts of QF-Test can be applied to creating tests for Android applications on virtual and real devices with ease and efficiency...
At least as relevant is the new concept of SmartIDs, which are an alternative way of addressing components. SmartIDs encapsulate relevant information directly in the component ID so that component nodes become optional. The idea is to keep simple things simple and use the full range of information in component nodes only for the tricky cases. This paradigm shift is still under development and deserves its own major release, but in response to the enthusiastic customer feedback on the existing functionality and stability we are making it available now in the form of a - fully supported - preview feature.
The SmartID concept has also paved the way for integration of QF-Test with Robot Framework, letting fans of Robot Framework implement their keywords via QF-Test procedures. The tool integration carried out with a pilot customer will be presented at the RoboCon conference (May 19-20, 2022).
Among the many other improvements, the following stand out: You can now run QF-Test itself with Java 17 for vastly improved display on scaled monitors, QF-Test reports have been revised with a more modern look, screenshots for the run-log are taken of relevant screens only and duration indicators assist in analyzing the time spent during tests. Major version updates like the switch to Groovy 4 or support for testing Java 19 become mere side-notes in the detailed release notes.

By talking directly to the browser it supports Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Opera on Windows, Linux and macOS with a performance, stability and feature set formerly only available with QF-Driver for Chrome on Windows. And that's on top of a massive performance boost of QF-Driver for Chrome with observed speed-up ranging from 10% to over 500%.
The user interface of QF-Test has been cleaned up and streamlined, using a uniform flat look with fewer lines and beautiful new icons that still maintain the existing image language and are immediately recognizable. The HTML manual and tutorial as well as report and test documentation have also received a face-lift.
