froglogic Announces Automated GUI/Web Testing Tool Squish 3.1
This new release of Squish comes with many improvements and new
features for all Squish editions. The new features were mainly driven
by the feedback of Squish’s users and aim to make Squish even more
powerful, robust and easy to use. A list of the major new features can
be found at the end of this announcement.
‘One of Squish’s major advantages is it’s versatility with regard to
supported platforms and technologies while offering a tight
integration into each supported technology. This new release comes
with many general improvements as well as enhancements specifict to
individual editions. Such as improved support for version 4 of
Trolltech’s Qt and Qtopia 4.x products and support for new Ajax/HTML
toolkits.’, said Reginald Stadlbauer, co-founder and CEO of froglogic.
Squish offers a versatile testing framework with a choice of popular
test scripting languages (Python, JavaScript, Tcl and Perl) extended
by test-specific functions, open interfaces, add-ons, integrations
into test management systems, an IDE that supports the creation and
debugging of tests and a set of command line tools facilitating fully
automated test runs.
While strongly improving the existing Squish editions, new editions
broadening the scope of supported technologies will be released later
this year. The first one will be Squish/Java for testing
Swing/AWT/SWT/Eclipse/RCP applications which will become available in
Q1 2007. Additionally froglogic offers new services to help customers
being more effective and efficient with their test automation efforts.
Squish 3.1 is available for customers and evaluators in their download
area now. If you are interested in any of the existing or upcoming
Squish editions or would like to learn more about froglogic’s service
