GUI Testing Specialist froglogic Announces Eclipse
Strategy
Hamburg, Germany - 2008-10-03 froglogic GmbH will announce its new
Eclipse strategy at EclipseCon 2008 taking place in Santa Clara next
week. froglogic is the vendor of the leading, cross-platform automated
GUI testing tool Squish. Squish supports creating and running
automated GUI tests of applications based on a variety of user
interface technologies including Trolltech's Qt toolkit, Java
AWT/Swing/NetBeans, Java SWT/Eclipse RCP/JFaces, Web/HTML/AJAX and Mac
OS X Carbon/Cocoa.
froglogic's upcoming Squish 4.0 release will bring many
ground-breaking improvements to the automated development and QA
process. More details about froglogic's product roadmap will be
announced soon.
One strategic move is to replace the current in-house
implementation of the graphical test development environment with an
Eclipse-based IDE that is completely re-designed and re-written from
scratch. The new Eclipse-based IDE will be deployed as a stand-alone
RCP application as well as a plugin for the Eclipse Workbench.
"After we joined the Eclipse Foundation in 2007, our first move
was to implement an integration of Squish into the Eclipse Test &
Performance Tools Project (TPTP). Now we go one step further by using
Eclipse as the primary IDE for Squish. This has two major advantages
for our users boosting their productivity: The very rich feature set
of Eclipse is available when working on Squish tests and integration
of those tests into existing Eclipse projects." said Reginald
Stadlbauer, CEO and co-founder of froglogic.
"We are excited to see froglogic's commitment to the growing
Eclipse community. We congratulate froglogic on their upcoming release
and welcome their commitment to embracing Eclipse as a platform for
building commercial software.", said Mike Milinkovich, Executive
Director of the Eclipse Foundation.
