Successful UI Test Automation with froglogic Squish in Marine Electronics Industry
Hamburg (PRWEB) October 28, 2013 -- A company in the Marine Electronics industry significantly reduced their testing cycle duration while also increasing their testing coverage by implementing test automation of their device's user interface with froglogic Squish GUI Tester.
A renown marine electronics company developed the UI of their marine navigation devices based on Digia's Qt application framework. The devices' applications produce engine data, visualize radar data, provides chart plotting, and help find the fish! The applications are designed for mariners: each built using Qt 4 and deployed on custom hardware.
Test automation of these applications became a big challenge until the company started to use froglogic's Squish GUI Tester product to automate the testing.
The Squish GUI Tester is the leading functional, cross-platform GUI and regression testing tool that can test applications based on a variety of GUI technologies, including the Qt, QML and QtQuick GUI toolkits, Java SWT/Eclipse RCP, Java AWT/Swing, JavaFX, Windows MFC, .NET WindowsForms and WPF, Mac OS X Carbon/Cocoa, iOS Cocoa Touch, Android, and Web/HTML5/AJAX/Flex. Squish stands out from other GUI testing tools by giving test engineers the freedom to record and write tests using familiar scripting languages such as JavaScript, Perl, Python, Tcl, and Ruby. Furthermore, Squish provides extremely tight integration with the specific GUI technologies it supports. This gives testers unprecedented access to the internals of the applications they are testing (to data items, controls, widgets, etc.), and also leads to the production of very robust and stable GUI tests.
Squish and all the tests created with it, are completely cross-platform, and work on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, embedded Linux, iOS, Android and several RTOSes.
