more about Java Testing with QF-Test

"The support of various Swing GUI elements, including complex elements such as tables, trees, etc., is very good. For requirements going beyond this, QF-Test offers the possibility to extend the functionality individually via various interfaces (using Groovy or Jython as script language). These extensions integrate seamlessly into the clear and well thought-out operating concept of QF-Test.

QF-Test is robust, even local test runs cannot be disturbed by parallel work. For the integration into a CI system, in our case Jenkins is used, QF-Test can be operated in batch mode.

QF-Test has extensive documentation, questions are answered extremely quickly by the very competent and courteous support team!"
