What does QF Test mean??

[Astroboy93]

Hey guys,

I am a new Computer Science grad and looking for entry level jobs to apply to. I found one posting for a QA job and in the additional skills it states:

- Knowledge and/or experience in Java, and QF Test

I was just wondering what is QF Test? Is it a procedure or program? We never learned this in University. I would like to apply for this job but I just want to make sure I am capable.

Thanks :)

Quality F.. something ?

apply for the job anyway if you know most of the stuff, you can always learn the rest

Maybe it's Atari's QA. Quality Fuck You.

QF is quality factor.
Who knows what it means in this context? It might be the sum of certain metrics that measure complexity. Or a more broad term to describe aspects of software quality. Portability, cohesiveness, modularity etc.

However, perhaps I'm way off and it means something entirely different.

is it those tests that they give you that measure the quality of your thinking? like math puzzles about crossing a river and how many eggs a rooster lays each day etc........

Thats Aptitude Tests, not QF.

It's more likely to be a QA aspect of testing that the product (program) works like its suppose to an has been evolved enough to deal with some of the "Extreme" data that people can input by accident or on purpose. (For instance Y2K was a good example of such an Extreme cases that caused panic, where "00" when meaning "2000" could have meant "1900". If proper QA had been used previous to that point then hardcoding might not have occured, although the "bean counters" utilised hardcoding to lessen the cost of manufacture of products/parts.

Still (I hope) we've come a long way from then.
