Testing solution supports Java testing with good reliability
There is nothing you can do for almost every application. If you do it for a single version, it is rather easy. However, if you want to run it for different versions of the software, then you need the Qt version of Java. You need to set up some special environment variables to be able to do that.

Smart locators and small learning curve streamline test automation, minimizing maintenance and boosting efficiency.
Testim has a specific feature called a smart locator. Anyone experienced in test automation knows this is one of the most complex parts of developing automated scripts. The Testim feature automatically finds the locators, which helps us build stable test scripts. Stable scripts are crucial for receiving faster and more reliable feedback. I have also seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the dashboard. It's virtual, and you can see the customer results. I can do it at night and in the morning. I think it also automatically emails results."
"If you are looking for simple, not expensive, with nice support and for Qt-application tool – I think, it’s the best one."
"Now we have completely automated the Squish runs using CI tools and Squish is not at all getting stuck or creating any problem."
"Stable automation framework with its own object library enabled us to move all of the tests to a Continuous Integration farm."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"Customer support was good; they work out of the box and are willing to add a new feature if we say and if it is feasible."
"Our previous, haphazard approach to testing was not effective, and using Squish has led us into an organized mode of testing."
"It supports many platforms, which helps in getting automation solutions for most of the complex UI products."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."
"The REST API features allowed integrated testing for select products to quickly make calls and test the UIs with API calls while the CLI allows us to matrix the grid function across browsers."
"We primarily use the solution for business E2E testing, as it is fast and reliable, easy to maintain, and allows for the involvement of QA as well as Dev and BA."
"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
"The product is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Squish is lagging in handling swing objects, but I believe Squish will overcome this shortly."
"The most complete way of testing is on several OS's, even platforms. Here, the solution provided by Squish, through several Python script files, could be simplified in such a way, so that even black box testers could manage it easily."
"As things stand, continuous integration is very poor, and when you work in production you need many more settings in order to tune it, to be a Web user interface, for example, which is currently impossible."
"Support isn't always helpful. I sometimes need to find solutions myself."
"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."
"Anyhow, we can't automate the applications which are completely built on C/C++ without using Qt."
"It still requires better solutions for object identification and an enhancement to identify all the objects of the AUT before building the object map."
"The price could be better."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."
"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."
"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
"The accessibility reporting features could be more robust to be reported at the script level and allow users to map down to the step level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The platform is highly-priced."
"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."
"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"The solution is not expensive."
"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
