  Squish for Qt

The Squish for Qt edition enables testing applications which are based on Trolltech's Qt GUI toolkit.

Squish for Qt is the market leading GUI test tool for Qt applications and is the only professional GUI test tool offering dedicated support for the Qt toolkit with a very tight toolkit integration.

Squish for Qt recognizes all standard Qt widgets and offers special support for complex Qt 2.x/3.x and Qt 4.x widgets such as QListView, QListBox, Q*ItemView, QMenu and many more. In addition, Squish for Qt recognizes custom widgets derived from Qt widgets.

Squish for Qt provides access to the complete Qt API via its test scripting languages and offers access to all objects and properties via the Spy and verification point editor. Additionally it is possible to access the application's API from test scripts for even more advanced tests and verifications.

Squish for Qt supports Qt 2.3 (esp. for Qt/Embedded and Qtopia applications) and all Qt 3.x and Qt 4.x versions on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X and Embedded Linux. All tests created with Squish are cross-platform and run without modifications on every supported platform.

Using a combination of Squish for Qt and Squish for Tk it is also possible to test mixed Qt/Tk applications based on our Tq technology.

Licensing

Who needs a license?

Everybody using Squish needs a license. Whether that's the GUI or command line tools doesn't matter. There are two kinds of licenses for different usages:

  • Tester License

    This license is required for users who create, record, edit or modify tests with Squish tools or create tests that will subsequently be used with these tools. It's also required for users that modify or extend Squish itself.

  • Runner License

    This license is required for users who only run tests and process test results with Squish tools. Runner licenses imply the possession of one or several Tester licenses for the creation of the respective tests.

Each licensee gets access to Squish on all supported platforms. No license is needed for creating wrapper libraries using squishidl and for setting up batch testing.

License Models

  • Named User License

    The license is assigned to a specific person. Only this person may use the license. The license can be transferred to someone else by notifying froglogic.

    The number of necessary named user licenses is defined by the number of people who will use Squish in total.

  • Floating License

    The license can be used and shared by a group of people. The number of concurrent usage needs to be specified and is limited.

    The number of necessary concurrent users is defined by the number of people who will use Squish concurrently.

System Requirements

Supported Platforms

  • Windows (NT, 2000, XP and Vista)
  • Linux and Unix derivatives like Solaris, HPUX, AIX and IRIX.
  • Mac OS X
  • Embedded Linux
