    All supported script languages in the automated GUI Testing Tool Squish support closures. In this blog I’ll write up a simple example how closures can be used to unify function calls that seem to have different set of arguments.

    By on August 15, 2017

    The Squish for Java edition wraps all seen Java objects for access in test script with a type which name is the fully qualified Java name, dots being replaced by underscores. E.g. a java.lang.String Java object is wrapped as object with type java_lang_String. On such a wrapped Java object,...

  • Multi-touch gesture support in Squish 5.1

    By on February 10, 2014

    Until Squish version 5.0, Squish supported recording and replaying of keyboard, mouse and single-touch events only. With the rise of smartphones, tablets and more sophisticated embedded user interfaces, the demand to also allow recording and emulation of multi-touch gestures as part of automated GUI tests steadily increased. With the...

    By on October 30, 2008

    Postponing support for SMIL attribute ‘fill=”scroll”‘ for a long time, I now really needed this feature for extending the Atom feed support in KMPlayer.

  • Extending the script bindings for Java

    By on June 12, 2007

    Testing with the Squish Qt edition, one can add (from the Squish documentation) var num = QInputDialog.getInteger( "Require User Input", "How many pages have been printed?" ); in the scripts. So testers can fill-in data that the program can’t see. Unfortunately testing with the Java edition and using the...
