The last 6 months of 2019, a brief questionnaire had been available for you to share your
feedback about Squash evolving products.
The following report only includes answers from people who completed the whole survey. Results are thus not necessarily a reflection of what the entire Squash community thinks.
For your information, in 2019, Squash and/or its components had been downloaded:
- 4,500 times/month for test management
- 180 times/month for test automation
And Xsquash had been downloaded 60 times/month via the Atlassian Marketplace.
Here is the summary of the survey, backed up with figures:
