SQUASH AUTOM

Industrialize your automation process
and the execution of automated tests.

Anticipate automation
from the test design stage
with Gherkin formalism

Make the workflow between testers and automation engineers more reliable

Implement your tests
from pre-generated Cucumber
or Robot Framework scripts

Orchestrate precisely
the execution of your
automated tests from Squash TM

Anticipate automation with Gherkin

ANTICIPATE AUTOMATION FROM THE TEST DESIGN STAGE
WITH GHERKIN FORMALISM¹

⬣ Use the Gherkin formalism to standardize the description of test cases
⬣ according to a Given-When-Then breakdown particularly suited to
⬣ automation logic.

⬣ Write test cases in Gherkin using a simple and intuitive interface offering
⬣ auto-completion(P).

⬣ Encourage the reuse of common test parts that have already been
⬣ automated, by assembling your test cases from a library of reusable
⬣ actions(P).

⬣ Variabilize your test cases (using datasets) to promote
⬣ reuse of test steps and save time when writing automated
⬣ scripts.

Optimize Gherkin test cases with the library of reusable actions

Create your test cases in Gherkin using the Given Then When formalism in the Test Cases workspace of Squash TM

Workflow testers / automaton engineers more reliable

MAKE THE WORKFLOW BETWEEN TESTERS

AND AUTOMATION ENGINEERS MORE RELIABLE¹

Optimize the automation process with Squash and Jira workflow

⬣ Trace tests to be automated in Squash and track their automation
⬣ status.

⬣ Provide automation engineers with an interface to track automation
⬣ requests in Squash...

⬣ … Or create a custom Jira workflow to track automation process,
⬣ powered by Squash(P).

⬣ Automatically integrate automation tasks into Jira(P)
⬣ tracking.

Implement with Cucumber or Robot Fwk

IMPLEMENT YOUR TESTS IN CUCUMBER OR ROBOT FRAMEWORK
FROM THE GHERKIN TEST CASES¹

⬣ Ensure the consistency of your asset by linking your automated scripts
⬣ to test cases.

⬣ Choose the format generated by Squash according to your target
⬣ technology: Cucumber or Robot Framework.

⬣ Automate your tests by implementing the steps appearing in the

⬣ Gherkin test cases.

¹ All the Squash AUTOM features require the use of Squash TM

Take advantage of Cucumber and Robot Framework scripts pre-generated by Squash in .feature or .robot

Orchestrate execution of automated tests

ORCHESTRATE PRECISELY THE EXECUTION
OF YOUR AUTOMATED TESTS FROM SQUASH TM

⬣ Give test teams the upper hand on launching automated test execution: with Squash AUTOM, automated tests can
⬣ be integrated into Squash TM execution plans, along with manual tests.

⬣ Leverage your manual test case parameters in your automated scripts: dataset, test case custom fields, iterations(P),
⬣ test suites(P) and campaigns(P).

⬣ Track the history of your automated suites: history of your automated suites and iteration plan items(P).

⬣ Target the environment on which the tests are run. Define environment variables that will be accessible by the test framework and by the tests.

Discover the execution record of your automated test cases and consult the details of each execution in the Squash Campaigns workspace

⬣ Access directly from Squash TM to user friendly executions reports of your automated tests.
