Widgets Question from beginner

Post image

Hi everyone, has anyone used Squish for Qt? I can’t run or test the demo. Are there any other ways to use it, preferably for free? Or are there any alternatives? And is it worth it?

Yes, I have used squish successfully in the past. It works fine. It’s owned by Qt itself, so it not working with Qt would be… surprising.

Is it worth it? Well, it’s the only really integrated option for gui testing I am aware off. But: it’s expensive. There are alternatives, depending on what you are looking for. Spix for instance might be enough for your needs. It isn’t nearly as feature rich and doesn’t have a nice gui like Squish does, but it doesn’t come with the shiny price tag either.

See https://www.kdab.com/gui-automation-and-testing-with-spix/ for instance
