Automated regression has reduced repetitive testing and now needs simpler setup and reporting
I think that Appvance AIQ Platform can be improved by making some of the advanced features easier to configure and more intuitive for new users. The platform has a broad range of capabilities, so the learning curve can be a little easier when you first start working with it. I would also like to see more flexibility in customizing dashboards and reports for different QA teams and projects. It is a strong platform for automated testing, particularly for expanding regression coverage and reducing repetitive manual testing. But I would leave some room for improvement around the learning curve, as I mentioned earlier, and reporting customization, making some advanced features more accessible would be really useful for new users.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great performance testing tool."
"We saw the biggest improvement in testing time and regression coverage with Appvance AIQ Platform, as automation reduced the amount of manual execution required and allowed us to run a larger set of tests more frequently, making our regression cycles roughly 30 to 40% faster while increasing automated test coverage with more scenarios and data variations."
"Stable automation suites; it is cheaper than most of other vendor automation tools, it supports a wide range of tool-kits, even embedded solutions, one tool for all your products."
"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."
"Our previous, haphazard approach to testing was not effective, and using Squish has led us into an organized mode of testing."
"If you are looking for simple, not expensive, with nice support and for Qt-application tool – I think, it’s the best one."
"Squish is integrated with Qt, which enables us to test the user interface effectively."
"Squish's data-driven testing is very powerful, so it will never be stuck if the size of data is too heavy."
"Squish saved our time and money by creating reusable operating system independent test scripts."
 

Cons

"Reporting features can be improved to provide more flexibility, collation, exporting in different formats, etc."
"I think that Appvance AIQ Platform can be improved by making some of the advanced features easier to configure and more intuitive for new users."
"We have faced some difficulties in identifying canvas objects initially."
"ID could be improved with suggestions of names, variables or class."
"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."
"We encountered issues with the embedded environment and building for the Qt version."
"Sometimes, I had problems, but their support team resolved almost of them in short time."
"The price could be better."
"I like it how it is, but it's not cheap."
"It still requires better solutions for object identification and an enhancement to identify all the objects of the AUT before building the object map."
