Squash TF is a solution providing complete support for writing and executing automated tests. It covers main software technologies (Web GUI, Web services, Desktop applications, iOS and Android apps) and is compatible with several development processes (Waterfall, Agile, BDD, Global Quality assessment, Continuous Testing).
Besides Squash Keyword Framework (which builds upon Squash TA while ensuring backward compatibility), Squash TF introduces new options for integrating automated testing with Squash TM. These options allow Squash TF to adapt to the needs of the different actors involved in test automation projects (developers, testers, integrators).
Squash TF provides support for the entire automated testing cycle:
Project creation (technology choice, configuration)
New workspace for automation requests (included in Squash TM)
Support for writing test scripts
Orchestration
Reporting
Here are the main features of Squash TF:
Runner
Squash TF introduces the "runner" concept. The goal of the runner goal is to:
Make easier our tool integration with an existing test repository.
Make easier our tool acceptance.
Allow to execute existing tests from a repository from Squash TM even if it is not written with the Squash Keyword Framework (previously known as Squash TA).
> Squash TF Java Junit Runner 1.0.0
This runner allows you to execute your automated tests written in Maven Java Junit5/Junit4 inside our ecosystem in an almost transparent way.
It makes easier our tool integration with an existing test repository written in Java Junit. Especially it offers the possibility to easily launch the execution of these tests from Squash TM.
This runner is linked to a project template (archetype) to make easier the start up of a project.
> Squash TF Cucumber Java Runner 1.0.0
This runner allows you to execute your automated tests (.feature) written in Maven Gherkin and their implementation written in Cucumber Java inside our ecosystem.
Especially it completes the Gherkin feature of Squash TM and allows to launch the execution of tests written in Gherkin from Squash TM in the Squash TF Execution Server which will then display the execution results in Squash TM.
This runner is linked to a project template (archetype) to make easier the start up of a project.
Squash TF Execution Server 2.0.0
It replaces Squash TA Server 1.X. and has two goals in this version:
Easier installation: Creation of a docker image for the Execution Server Creation of an agent installer
Increase our execution capacity, especially with the creation of template for our two runners: A project template for the Java Junit Runner A template for the Cucumber Java Runner A template for execution in two passes
TA 1.11.0 – Squash Keyword Framework (ex Squash TA)
