Hamburg, Germany - 2003-10-19 froglogic today announced the availability of a the first beta release of Squish 1.0. froglogic Squish is a professional cross platform automated GUI testing framework for applications written using Trolltech^®'s Qt^® GUI toolkit.

With Squish, existing Qt applications can be tested without any modifications. Test scripts are written in the full-featured scripting language Tcl and can be recorded automatically (and edited afterwards). Test cases can use arbitrary test data files and there is also support for data-driven testing. The framework is very flexible and open and can be easily set up for batch-mode testing to run e.g. automatic nightly regression tests.

The entire system can be controlled via command line tools. In addition, Squish includes a GUI front-end to develop, record, execute and debug tests.

"Since the first alpha release we improved Squish in many ways. Support for more platforms has been added, performance has been improved and many features requested by alpha testers have been implemented. Overall we are happy with the set of available features, the stability and performance of Squish and are confident that Squish will be a very useful tool for many Qt developers and QA engineers out there.", said Reginald Stadlbauer, froglogic Squish Product Manager.

The final release of Squish 1.0 is expected to be available by the middle or end of November this year.
