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.

Smart locators and small learning curve streamline test automation, minimizing maintenance and boosting efficiency.
Testim has a specific feature called a smart locator. Anyone experienced in test automation knows this is one of the most complex parts of developing automated scripts. The Testim feature automatically finds the locators, which helps us build stable test scripts. Stable scripts are crucial for receiving faster and more reliable feedback. I have also seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stable automation framework with its own object library enabled us to move all of the tests to a Continuous Integration farm."
"Our previous, haphazard approach to testing was not effective, and using Squish has led us into an organized mode of testing."
"The biggest ROI is the time that we got back from our QA team because they didn’t have to manually regression test our product every release."
"The most important part is that it allows me to create black box tests faster and easier."
"This product can work with QT applications and cross-cut from them, both on Windows OS and on Mac, as well as on mobile operating systems like iOS and Android too."
"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."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"Now we have completely automated the Squish runs using CI tools and Squish is not at all getting stuck or creating any problem."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"The pre-defined tests are a great help, specifically the custom JS test that allows us to be able to use custom code to test complicated elements or scenarios."
"It is a highly stable solution."
"We primarily use the solution for business E2E testing, as it is fast and reliable, easy to maintain, and allows for the involvement of QA as well as Dev and BA."
"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."
"The Testim technical support is very responsive and worked with a specific team member on the First Databank side to answer hard technical questions and took enhancement requests as needed."
"The product is easy to use."
"The REST API features allowed integrated testing for select products to quickly make calls and test the UIs with API calls while the CLI allows us to matrix the grid function across browsers."
 

Cons

"Support isn't always helpful. I sometimes need to find solutions myself."
"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."
"It still requires better solutions for object identification and an enhancement to identify all the objects of the AUT before building the object map."
"It would make the work of the Squish user easier and quicker if Squish would display the proper feature names, when assigned."
"Anyhow, we can't automate the applications which are completely built on C/C++ without using Qt."
"Features like recovery scenarios can be added as an improvement Reporting can be improved."
"ID could be improved with suggestions of names, variables or class."
"We encountered issues with the embedded environment and building for the Qt version."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind, for instance - instead of going in and out of the editor every time I want to view test data for a test, I could just view the test data in the table, or the ability to copy steps through tests."
"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."
"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."
"I get a little bit confused while creating new branches."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."
"The platform is highly-priced."
"It is expensive."
"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
"The solution is not expensive."
