The Squish for Tk edition enables testing applications which are based on the Tk toolkit.

Squish for Tk is the only professional GUI test tool available offering special support for the Tk toolkit which is very popular for high-end applications in the industry.

Squish for Tk recognizes all standard Tk controls including special support for complex controls from widget sets such as BWidgets, BLT, etc. Additionally it is possible to access all properties and functions of Tk controls from Squish's test script langauges and Squish Spy, and to execute any arbitrary Tcl code in the Tk application from test scripts.

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.

Supported Platforms
