There had been a lot of improvements with froglogic Squish already. There were some scenarios in which this particular solution was available in different flavors. They have pulled everything together in one solution. There were some monitoring systems, which were missing out from the solution earlier. They have a centralized dashboard for monitoring the test cases and their execution. It's a full-blown solution, there are not many glitches in terms of something missing out of the package. The froglogic Squish solution is only handling GUI regression testing, this is its forte. However, a lot of clients are looking into performance testing associated with it. If a performance testing capability can be added as a part of it, this would bring great value. froglogic Squish has a code coverage solution and they have done a pretty good job on it. The penetration testing could be added as a separate module, this would be beneficial.

We use Qt Squish primarily for test automation in our embedded systems. While I configure it and set it up, another person uses it for testing. We also use Squish integrated with Qt, a framework for the user interface, which is a crucial feature for us Squish allows us to automate testing in our…

HMI testing with Squish is similar to testing normal software because both involve graphical user interfaces. The experience is largely the same. However, HMI systems are typically easier to test because their interfaces are usually more straightforward and less complex than other software, such as complex 3D applications. This simpler structure of HMI interfaces generally makes the testing process smoother and more manageable. Integrating behavior-driven development (BDD) within Squish is particularly beneficial in terms of enhancing testing efficiency. This feature allows for the creation of readable test descriptions or designs using BDD principles. It lets users write clear and understandable tests initially and then incrementally implement the necessary functions in programming code. The behavior-driven approach encourages the creation of reusable and well-structured test steps. When you carefully create the test scenarios, it becomes much easier to avoid writing unnecessary code, enhancing the reusability of the tests. I am very satisfied with how the product handles desktop and embedded HMI testing. I appreciate its stability and wide range of functions, which allow it to tackle various testing challenges effectively. It is a powerful and reliable testing tool, but it is also expensive. I recommend Squish for automated GUI testing, provided the user has the necessary budget. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Nov 21, 2024

Valuable Features

"Squish is integrated with Qt, which enables us to test the user interface effectively."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"I find it very user-friendly and easy to start working with. The main benefit for me is that it allows testing applications developed in the Qt language. This capability makes Squish a game-changer, as it's the only tool I've found that enables automation for applications written in Qt.I appreciate three main aspects. Firstly, the documentation is excellent. Secondly, I value the way the tool efficiently locates elements during testing. These are the two aspects I particularly like."

Room for Improvement

"We encountered issues with the embedded environment and building for the Qt version."
"The platform could be improved by implementing some basic functionalities that are frequently used, such as login procedures and screen handling when multiple screens are used at the workplace."
"I'm relatively new to Squish, so I'm not familiar with all its pros and cons. Currently, I haven't identified any specific improvements. However, one feature I miss is Git integration within the tool. In my previous experience with Selenium and Python in PyCharm, it was straightforward to create and review changes before pushing them. I haven't found a similar option in Squish, and having an integrated tool for managing conflicts would be beneficial in certain scenarios where collaboration is involved."

Pricing

"The platform is highly-priced."
"It is expensive."
"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."
