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.
Aws V - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco
Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet
There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Squish's data-driven testing is very powerful, so it will never be stuck if the size of data is too heavy."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"The most important part is that it allows me to create black box tests faster and easier."
"Squish is integrated with Qt, which enables us to test the user interface effectively."
"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."
"Squish data-driven testing is very powerful and we can easily check for bulk and huge data without any issues."
"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."
"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."
"This is way better than QTP and Silktest when compared to in following aspects: User friendly UI, Cost of Tool, Continuous Integration, Instant release of updated add-on as per latest technologies and browsers, Full fledged trial product for exact 30 days."
"We tried using HP QTP and Selenium, but opted for Ranorex because of its reasonable price and the ease of use of the automation tool."
"It is a good tool to perform user interface testing over a .NET product."
"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."
"Not only is Ranorex's solution one of the most powerful and easy to use, it has one of the lowest cost entry points resulting in a quicker ROI."
"Overall, it's a good product."
"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."
"Using this product, we have been able create and manage UI automation in the best possible way."
 

Cons

"As things stand, continuous integration is very poor, and when you work in production you need many more settings in order to tune it, to be a Web user interface, for example, which is currently impossible."
"ID could be improved with suggestions of names, variables or class."
"Squish is lagging in handling swing objects, but I believe Squish will overcome this shortly."
"Features like recovery scenarios can be added as an improvement Reporting can be improved."
"The most complete way of testing is on several OS's, even platforms. Here, the solution provided by Squish, through several Python script files, could be simplified in such a way, so that even black box testers could manage it easily."
"Support isn't always helpful. I sometimes need to find solutions myself."
"Anyhow, we can't automate the applications which are completely built on C/C++ without using Qt."
"Sometimes, I had problems, but their support team resolved almost of them in short time."
"It's the biggest drawback of Ranorex that it's limited to one operating system."
"Snapshots for WPF applications taking too long than expected."
"I encountered a problem during div element recognition. This point could be enhanced."
"For a very long time, we were running into crashes with either Ranorex or Ranorex's utility (UIALauncher) which would stop our testing dead in its tracks."
"Need support for other operating systems like Mac and Linux, and not just Windows."
"Their logs are not compatible with the continuous integration we use internally."
"The solution has good quality and functionality but I would not recommend it because of its unfamiliarity in the market."
"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."
"It is expensive."
"The platform is highly-priced."
"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
