In their recent version of macOS, named “Catalina” (10.15), Apple introduced a feature protecting users from executing malicious software downloaded from the Internet. To separate “good” from “bad” software, Apple implemented a so called “notarization” process, and software which has not been „notarized“ cannot be executed on macOS Catalina without further ado.

After starting QF-Test a message is shown that Apple cannot check QF-Test for malicious software.

By the usage of script nodes QF-Test allows embedding of special custom functionality into your test-cases. Typically, these scripts are supposed to be short and relatively simple containing just dedicated functionality, whereas the majority of test logic is done via QF-Test visual nodes.

In this article I explain how to prepare an Eclipse or standalone Liclipse IDE to connect to the Jython interpreter of QF-Test and allow enhanced debugging.

OK, this is a really special case, but with the increasing use of the QF-Test license server this case is happening more often. The license server just has to be reachable by all QF-Test instances, which use a compatible client license for the server license. When starting, they ask explicitly just this license server if the requested license is still available.

You are interested in QF-Test, you already have a trial version and/or want to know more about this company? Most of the time you can only catch a superficial glimpse of the companies on their websites. How the employees are and what it's like to work in this company is not really known. You may find an article or an award. Fantastic. But what is behind this appearance? I spent three weeks at QFS as an intern and would like to give you a little insight into the company behind the product.

If you want to use data from an MS Excel file in your QF-Test tests or want to write test results to MS Excel files then go on reading.

This is a short article about why QF-Test records geometry information for components, what impact these values have and how to change them either after or during recording.

Comme nous avons également étudié et que nous souhaitons aider les étudiants à rédiger leur thèse sur les tests de logiciels, nous avons décidé de créer une liste de référence pour les sujets pertinents relatifs aux tests.

Les systèmes d'intégration continue (CI-Systems) soutiennent les équipes dans leur travail constant sur les différentes sous-étapes du processus de développement logiciel.  L'objectif principal étant l'amélioration de la qualité des logiciels.

There‘s no way around using variables if a test-suite has to to be flexible, reusable, and elegant. But where are variables set? Which value of the variable is used if I defined multiple ones at different positions? And how can I find out? This article aims to answer these questions.
