Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Qt Squish and Testim are competing in the UI automation testing space. Testim is often seen as having the upper hand due to its advanced AI-driven features and seamless integration.

Features: Qt Squish offers robust cross-platform automation, script reusability, and flexibility with various scripting languages, making it versatile for multiple testing environments. Testim provides AI-powered test execution, a straightforward test creation process, and integration with CI/CD pipelines, enhancing test coverage efficiency.

Room for Improvement: Qt Squish could enhance its installation process to cater to less experienced engineers and improve cloud support for seamless deployment. Additionally, expanding AI-driven testing capabilities would be beneficial. Testim might consider reducing its price point to appeal to a broader audience. Improvements in offline support would be advantageous, along with expanding the range of supported scripting languages for better flexibility.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Qt Squish provides straightforward installation backed by comprehensive documentation, making it suitable for experienced test engineers. Testim's cloud-based deployment simplifies setup and updates, coupled with superior customer service, offering a more efficient experience for teams requiring quick, seamless implementations.

Pricing and ROI: Qt Squish uses a licensing model that may require significant upfront investment but offers long-term value through powerful scripting and cross-platform capabilities. Testim's subscription model entails a higher initial cost but delivers substantial ROI through reduced maintenance time and increased resource efficiency, thanks to its AI-driven features.

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

"The most important part is that it allows me to create black box tests faster and easier."

"Squish data-driven testing is very powerful and we can easily check for bulk and huge data without any issues."

"The biggest ROI is the time that we got back from our QA team because they didn’t have to manually regression test our product every release."

"This product can work with QT applications and cross-cut from them, both on Windows OS and on Mac, as well as on mobile operating systems like iOS and Android too."

"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."

"It supports many platforms, which helps in getting automation solutions for most of the complex UI products."

"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."

"If you are looking for simple, not expensive, with nice support and for Qt-application tool – I think, it’s the best one."

More Qt Squish pros

"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."

"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."

"It enabled us to cover our app in end-to-end tests very quickly with quality results."

"The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios."

"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."

"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 Testim technical support is very responsive and worked with a specific team member on the First Databank side to answer hard technical questions and took enhancement requests as needed."

"The feature I like most about Testim is the record and playback capability, which does not require writing a lot of code."

More Testim pros

Cons

"We encountered issues with the embedded environment and building for the Qt version."

"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."

"Sometimes, I had problems, but their support team resolved almost of them in short time."

"Support isn't always helpful. I sometimes need to find solutions myself."

"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."

"I like it how it is, but it's not cheap."

"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."

More Qt Squish cons

"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."

"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."

"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."

"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."

"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."

"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."

"The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."

"The API testing integration is a bit lacking and can be improved."

More Testim cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."

"The platform is highly-priced."

"It is expensive."

"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."

"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."

"The solution is not expensive."
