For Squish Test Center 2.0 we have decided to primarily focus our efforts on providing support for manual testing. Since Squish Test Center is all about evaluating the health of your application at any given point in time, we felt that seeing the results of your manual tests right next to the results of your automated UI and unit tests is a natural and logical next step. This also means that all test result analysis features for Squish Test Center that you might already use and be familiar with for your automated tests can now also be applied to your manual tests. The new manual testing area W ..read more

Our Squish GUI Tester lets you automate applications using a wide range of technologies, such as web pages, desktop applications and many more. However, many complex applications make use of not just one but multiple GUI technologies for building the user interface. In particular, embedding web content into an existing application using Chromium gets more popular every day. Follow me along and learn how to automate your embedded Chromium web content. To do so you would need to have a license key which covers the toolkit of your main application as well as Web for example Windows+Web. The Basic ..read more

A common question posed in the software QA space is: how can I verify the playback of a video in my application? Some responses to this question include using 3rd party, expensive add-ons to existing automation software or require clunky workarounds. Here, we discuss the challenges in verifying video playback, and an easy way to work around them using the Squish GUI Tester. Challenges in Video Verification Verifying the complete video playback can be difficult. The complete video may be relatively large, and comparing a pre-captured video to one captured while replaying the test script can be ..read more

Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is not a new idea. There are still recordings available online showing presentations on the topic given as early as 2009! Still, many people are tip-toeing around the concept, asking themselves questions like: Is BDD just Yet Another Hype, or is there something substantial? Is it relevant to my own work? Why should I consider a behavior-driven approach to test development? The answer to all three questions is a clear and resounding ‘Yes!’. A behavior-driven approach to GUI test automation using Squish brings major benefits, spanning from being able to test e ..read more

RPyC is a powerful Python module for distributed computing. It’s especially useful in conjunction with Squish: by integrating RPyC into Python-based Squish GUI tests, creating complex test fixtures on remote system becomes a breeze! Setting The Stage Repeatable tests are a key feature of automated test projects. By being able to repeat a test at will, it’s easy to demonstrate defects to other team members and to validate proposed bug fixes. To be able to repeat test runs requires that the test setup itself remains unchanged – except of course the application under test (AUT). This means that t ..read more

Automated testing using the Squish GUI Tester is a great thing: all the mundane work of exercising and verifying the GUI is done automatically. Humans can concentrate on more creative and abstract tasks, such as test design or root cause analysis based on test reports, using e.g. Squish Test Center. There’s often a dedicated team for the latter task, which means that report analysis is typically done by the same people, test engineers. Faults are found, regressions are noticed — tickets get created. As it happens, not all faults are equal: GUI test automation setups are complex systems, and so ..read more

NET 5 was released in November 2020, marking a big change for Windows, since it is the version targeted for active and future development, instead of .NET Framework. And that meant a change for us, too. Since Squish 6.6, we supported .NET Core 3, and with the newest Squish 6.7 release, we’ve upgraded our support to include .NET 5. We’ll take a closer look into the new Squish support for the latest .NET version, but first, let’s clear up some confusion on the terminology. .NET xyz: A History of the Etymology .NET, .NET Core, .NET 5, .NET Core 3, .NET Framework…it’s hard to keep track of what’s ..read more

We greatly enjoyed out recent Squish 6.7 Release Webinar, presenting the latest improvements introduced with the recent Squish GUI Tester Version 6.7! You asked some great questions during the webinar, and we now compiled the questions and answers and include them in this blog. Getting Started With Squish Q: What level of programming/scripting skill is required to use Squish and create tests? A: In general, no scripting skills are required to get started with Squish. Squish features a sophisticated record & replay feature which can be used to get tests up and running in very little time ..read more

With the Squish Test Center 1.2.0 release we primarily focused on improving the user experience when browsing Test Results and when integrating Squish Test Center with 3rd-Party Management systems. With the Repository Integration we set out to make it easier to find the cause of failed verifications and to spot the difference between expected and actual verification point results to uncover bugs faster. With some targeted improvements to our Traceability View we aim to improve the ease of mapping 3rd Party Requirements and Tests and to enhance your ability to correlate the impact of test fail ..read more
