This release comes with an enhanced autowin package in the standard library qfs.qft that now also makes use of Windows UI Automation for some very basic test automation of Windows applications. It also adds support for the Shadow DOM Web API, brings updates for the latest browsers and a few more smaller features as well as several bug fixes.

The detailed list of differences between QF-Test version 4.2.2 to 4.2.3 can be found in the Release Notes in section 4 of this newsletter or online.

4. Release Notes for QF-Test Version 4.2.3

New Features:

  • The embedded Selenium WebDriver framework was updated to version 3.11.0 and ChromeDriver to version 2.38 (with support up to Chrome version 67), and Mozilla GeckoDriver to version 0.20.1 which adds support for Firefox 59. The 32bit Linux version of ChromeDriver was removed from QF-Test as it is no longer supported by the Chrome development team. If needed, the last available version (2.33) can be downloaded manually from the ChromeDriver archive.
  • QF-Test now supports the Shadow DOM API and thus interaction with web elements that are embedded in an open ShadowRoot.
  • To bridge the gap until a full Windows engine is available for QF-Test the qfs.autowin package in the standard library qfs.qft has been extended to make use of Windows UIAutomation. It includes several new procedures to automate simple tests for native Windows applications. Please see chapter 26 for detailed information.
  • When moving the mouse cursor over the menu entry for a connected client in the »Clients« menu, the main window of the respective client gets highlighted.
  • The new variable group ${idlocal:...} is similar to ${id:...} with the added effect of enforcing component lookup in the test-suite that is current at the time of expansion. See section 7.5 for further information.
  • The debug information for component recognition in the run-log is now more readable and - like other text fields in the run-log - can be opened in an external editor via the new new keyboard shortcut [Shift-Control-Return].

Bugs Fixed:

  • The deprecation warning dialog for Java WebStart in Java 9 or higher is now handled automatically by QF-Test
  • When refactoring or analyzing test-suites, rc.callProcedure calls are now taken into account everywhere, i.e. in every variable attribute and not just in script nodes.
  • A data-driver iteration inside a 'Test-step' can now be interrupted via a 'Break' node like any other node iteration.
  • Firefox in QF-Driver mode could crash on Linux when processing certain non-UTF-8-encoded strings.
  • For Chrome in QF-Driver mode right button mouse clicks did not work correctly in qooxdoo applications.
  • A missing "http:" protocol header in a proxy auto-config URL is now gets automatically corrected.
  • Getting the name for an embedded Swing window from the enclosing JavaFX SwingNode now also works with Java update 8u171.
