Squish is the leading GUI test tool for Qt-based applications making it possible to create automated GUI tests for Qt applications on different platforms such as Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X and embedded Linux. With Squish 3.0, froglogic didn't only add many new and useful features to strengthen its position as the leading and most used GUI testing tool for Qt applications, but froglogic also created two new editions of Squish:
- Squish/Web: Using Squish/Web it is possible to create and run tests for HTML-based web applications in different web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla/Firefox, Apple's Safari and KDE's Konqueror. Squish/Web maps the DOM tree of an (D)HTML document to Squish's object model. This allows for inspecting the whole DOM tree of a document using Squish Spy, record and replay high-level actions on any HTML elements and call and access the DOM API from within test scripts.
- Squish/Tk: This new edition allows testing pure Tcl/Tk-based applications and also mixed Qt/Tk applications using froglogic's Tq technology. Similar to Squish/Qt and Squish/XView, the complete Tk widget set and its complete API is accessible from Squish Spy and test scripts and actions can be recorded and replayed on all Tk controls.
"With Squish 3.0, froglogic continues to move their Squish testing tool forward. Since my company is interested in reducing the time it takes to author tests, a new extension to the "record hints" facility allows us to automatically insert verification points when then test script is first captured, meaning that complete tests can be authored in one pass. ", said Steve Olson from Vistagy, Inc. about some of Squish 3.0's new features, "Another new feature of automatically recording synchronization points in the test script makes high-speed playback of tests much more reliable, which is important when you build up large collections of test scripts."
During Squish 3.0's development phase many customers and evaluators already started using the new version because of its major improvements and new editions. So Squish 3.0 is already used in production at many sites today.
"The new features and editions of Squish 3.0 were mostly driven and inspired by our customers, their demands and feedback which ensures that we deliver exactly what our users need and furthermore strengthens our strong position in the cross-platform GUI testing market", said Regainld Stadlbauer, froglogic's co-founder and Director of R&D Products. "It also was a pleasure working on this new release with our growing and highly skilled development team."
