Squish tip of the week: Create cross-platform tests automatically

Did you know cross-platform and cross-browser apps can be automated using the same Squish tests?

Consider for instance a Java or Qt application:

• The application is cross-platform
• The application runs on Linux, Mac and Windows, etc.
• Shouldn't your test framework also be cross-platform?

How about a Web application?

• All operating system and browser combinations should be validated.
• Why not using a single set of automated tests?

Using Squish you can:

• Create and execute Java or Qt application tests across Linux, Unix, Mac and Windows
• Create and execute Web application tests across any of the following OS and Browser combinations*:
  • • Linux, Unix, Mac and Windows
    • Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Opera and Mobile devices
• Create tests that work with the toolkit, its objects and their properties, and do not rely on fuzzy image comparison algorithms.

* Not all browsers may be available on all operating systems (for example Internet Explorer)
