HZ
Lead Systems Tester at Government of Ontario, Canada
Reliable test automation, and test data creation with efficient support
The solution can be improved by removing the need for object matching in the framework. The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run. The reason is that changes were made to how it works with the browser and the startup takes some time. Adjusting those changes to speed up the load time will improve the solution.
Luc Vangrunderbeeck - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Test Engineer at Infrabel
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

"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"It is 100% compatible with all sorts of database integrations and is compatible with all types of open source TFT-based applications, which makes it a great product to have."
"As it is built on Ellipse/Java and costs less than other tools, it is recommended."
"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester, which analyzes the changes in UI elements and allows me to automatically adapt and change my automation testing."
"It helps in automation by using better object recognition as compared to other tools in the market."
"By automating regression test suites using this product, we were able to show time savings of more than 1200 hours in less than ONE year."
"Robust API provides quick turnaround for developers to understand and automate functional test case quickly."
"Now we have completely automated the Squish runs using CI tools and Squish is not at all getting stuck or creating any problem."
"I can perform Java SWT."
"Squish saved our time and money by creating reusable operating system independent test scripts."
"froglogic Squish is one of the most desired solutions if you are having a Qt as a framework and if you are looking at GUI regression testing. froglogic is a part of Qt as a company."
"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."
"Customer support was good; they work out of the box and are willing to add a new feature if we say and if it is feasible."
"Squish data-driven testing is very powerful and we can easily check for bulk and huge data without any issues."
"If you are looking for simple, not expensive, with nice support and for Qt-application tool – I think, it’s the best one."
 

Cons

"With version 8.5 we faced workspace crash issues frequently."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"If in the future there is no support for mobile applications, then we will be using it less."
"The object repository used for identifying objects can be made better. It has been noticed that the RFT tool is unable to identify some objects, due to which we are unable to add them to the object repository."
"It does not fully justify being a paid tool, and it needs improvement."
"If you look at today's current context, I wouldn't recommend RFT because there are far more advanced solutions and products available."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"It still requires better solutions for object identification and an enhancement to identify all the objects of the AUT before building the object map."
"Robotics automation could be added with Squish."
"Anyhow, we can't automate the applications which are completely built on C/C++ without using Qt."
"Support isn't always helpful. I sometimes need to find solutions myself."
"There had been a lot of improvements with froglogic Squish already. There were some scenarios in which this particular solution was available in different flavors. They have pulled everything together in one solution. There were some monitoring systems, which were missing out from the solution earlier. They have a centralized dashboard for monitoring the test cases and their execution. It's a full-blown solution, there are not many glitches in terms of something missing out of the package."
"The only criticism I have is the IDE needed a bit of polish in version 5.2 (this may have been fixed in the latest versions)."
"We have faced some difficulties in identifying canvas objects initially."
"We encountered issues with the embedded environment and building for the Qt version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
"The platform is highly-priced."
"It is expensive."
"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."
