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.
