Automated Qt GUI Testing on Maemo smartphones with Squish
-
Hamburg, Germany - 2010-09-07 froglogic GmbH today announced the availability of pre-built packages of the Automated Qt GUI Testing Tool Squish for Nokia's Maemo platform.
Maemo is a software platform that is mostly based on open source code and powers mobile devices such as the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet or Nokia N900 smartphone. The Maemo platform has been developed by Nokia in collaboration with many open source projects.
Squish is the leading functional, cross-platform GUI and regression testing tool that can test applications based on a variety of GUI technologies, including Nokia's Qt Software Development Frameworks, Java SWT/Eclipse RCP, Java AWT/Swing, Mac OS X Carbon/Cocoa, and Web/HTML/AJAX. 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, and Tcl. 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, and widgets, etc.), and also leads to the production of very robust and stable GUI tests.
Squish itself, and all the tests created with it, are completely cross-platform, and work on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and embedded Linux.
"Squish supported automated testing of Qt applications on embedded Linux devices for a long time already. Due to the variety and diversity of embedded Linux systems available we usually require our clients to build Squish from sources for their custom devices and platforms.", said Reginald Stadlbauer, froglogic's CEO. "Given the high demand for GUI testing on the Maemo platform we decided to produce and maintain pre-build, easy-to-install Squish packages for the Maemo simulator and the Nokia N900 Maemo based smartphone. We are very excited that these packages are available now."
