Allows testing applications developed in Qt language
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

I use Froglogic Squish for desktop UI testing.

What is most valuable?

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.        

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have just started working for a couple of months with this solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's stable. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

As I mentioned earlier, we haven't completed the full cycle yet. However, based on what I know, defining test modules for remote machines and generating reports seemed straightforward. In the direct desktop version, it was easy to set up and execute tests on remote machines, with reports automatically generated and sent via email without much configuration. However, I currently face challenges executing tests on remote machines and generating reports in the Squish GUI Tester.

How was the initial setup?

The process was straightforward for me. However, I haven't completed the full cycle with a remote machine yet. Currently, I'm using it locally on my PC, and it's working well in this context.

What about the implementation team?

Actually, we use a device floating license, which means it's only for one user—either me or my team lead at this point. As for maintenance, there are some pros and cons, but overall, it's manageable. We've established procedures for working and maintaining the code, and I don't find it particularly difficult.

What was our ROI?

At this point, it's too early to provide a definitive assessment of Squish. However, I believe any tool that can automate processes is valuable and will likely yield a return on investment in the future. Currently, I cannot provide detailed insights, but I anticipate its worthiness in the long run.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's quite expensive.

What other advice do I have?

Certainly, I would recommend Squish. I would rate it around eight to nine.

A commercial cross-platform GUI and regression testing tool with a useful dashboard
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "The price could be better."

What is our primary use case?

We use Squish to control traffic in real-time.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

The price could be better. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using froglogic Squish for about three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

froglogic Squish is a stable solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give stability an eight.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

froglogic Squish is a scalable solution, but each user needs a new license. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used HP before froglogic Squish. I made the switch because my colleagues studied it and recommended it.

How was the initial setup?

The setup itself is straightforward, but you need to read the documentation thoroughly before setting it up. You can implement this solution within 15 minutes if everything goes well.

What about the implementation team?

I didn't set up this solution, but I have installed many versions.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to new users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give froglogic Squish an eight.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
