AI Readiness - Part 3: Creating an e-book on the use of AI in software testing
- Designed and created an e-book on the sensible and safe use of AI in software testing from the perspective of an experienced test expert.

About the technology
What Squish is
Squish is a GUI test automation tool from Froglogic, now part of the Qt Group. It enables teams to test applications through their user interfaces while combining object-based interaction with readable, maintainable test scripts. Squish supports desktop, web, mobile and embedded application testing.
Where it is used
Squish is used when software quality depends on realistic interaction across complex screens, dialogs and workflows. It is common in Qt and Java applications, as well as web and mobile products where visual behavior and end-to-end flows require repeatable validation.
- Desktop applications built with Qt, Java, .NET or native technologies
- Web interfaces with browser-based workflows
- Mobile and embedded user interfaces
- Regression suites for critical business processes
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong Squish work combines the Squish IDE, object maps, test cases and shared script libraries. Specialists may use Python, JavaScript, Ruby or Perl for scripting, depending on the existing suite. Integrations with Git, Jenkins, GitLab CI and other build systems help teams run tests consistently.
When companies need specialists
Companies often bring in freelance Squish specialists when an application has grown faster than its test coverage, a legacy suite needs restructuring, or a release process requires dependable GUI checks. Germany-based teams may also seek on-site collaboration for regulated, industrial or embedded software projects, while remote delivery works well with clear environments and access.
- Establishing a maintainable object-map strategy
- Converting manual scenarios into stable automated tests
- Connecting Squish runs with CI and release gates
- Diagnosing flaky tests and environment-specific failures
What strong professionals deliver
A capable professional understands both the application under test and the risks behind each workflow. They design selectors that survive UI changes, isolate test data, manage synchronization carefully and keep failures easy to investigate. They also document setup, execution and ownership so the suite remains useful after handover.
Choosing the right fit
Assess experience with the relevant UI framework, target operating systems and delivery pipeline rather than looking only at script samples. Ask how the specialist handles dynamic objects, asynchronous behavior, test isolation and evidence from failed runs. For remote work across Germany, confirm language expectations, access procedures and overlap with the product team before starting.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about Squish, in one place.
Squish is used to automate functional and regression tests through an application's graphical user interface. It can validate desktop, web, mobile and embedded workflows, including navigation, data entry, dialogs and business-critical end-to-end scenarios.
Squish covers more than browser or mobile testing and is especially useful for desktop, Qt and embedded interfaces. Selenium focuses mainly on web browsers, while Appium targets mobile and selected native environments; the right choice depends on the application mix and the level of UI coverage required.
A strong Squish specialist usually brings scripting with Python or JavaScript, version control, CI integration and defect analysis. Knowledge of Qt, Java, .NET, web technologies, test design and the application's build process can make the automation more stable and easier to maintain.
The required depth depends on the suite's size, UI complexity and release risk. A smaller project may need a specialist who can create a focused set of workflows, while a large product benefits from proven skills in object maps, synchronization, parallel execution, reporting and legacy-suite cleanup.
Squish can support remote collaboration when specialists receive reliable access to application builds, test environments, devices and logs. Teams in Germany should agree on access controls, working-language expectations, time-zone overlap and a clear process for sharing screenshots, traces and failed-test evidence.
Squish is often preferable when teams need object-aware interaction, readable scripts and diagnostics tied to application controls. Image-based approaches can help with unusual visual surfaces, but they may be more sensitive to resolution, themes and small layout changes.
Ask the professional to explain how they handle dynamic object names, waits, test data, environment differences and flaky failures. High-quality Squish suites have clear structure, reusable helpers, meaningful reports and tests that fail for actionable reasons rather than timing noise.
A Squish project may involve more than writing scripts: environment setup, license access, application instrumentation, CI agents and test-data management can shape the work. Specialists should clarify the target frameworks, supported systems, existing suite condition, release cadence and expectations for documentation and handover.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Squish in their recent projects is 93 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 741 € based on an 8-hour working day.
