Case Study: Marine Electronic Company achieves shorter testing cycles and increased test coverage with froglogic's Squish

Shortened Testing Cycles and Increased Testing Coverage using Squish in the Marine Electronics Industry

Marine Electronic Company, a manufacturer of Qt‑based marine electronics embedding four applications (engine data, radar, chart plotting and fish finding) on custom hardware, needed to validate UI accuracy and the data presented without adding intrusive instrumentation or building an in‑house test framework. They chose froglogic’s Squish to test their Qt GUIs and meet requirements for non‑intrusive, scriptable automated testing.

Using froglogic’s Squish they implemented several hundred data‑driven and record/replay tests (writing scripts in Python), leveraged the Spy and remote testing features, and integrated Squish into their CM/build process. This allowed immediate regression detection and developer notification, cutting regression turnaround from days or weeks to hours, expanding testing coverage, shortening test cycles, reducing person‑hours devoted to testing, and measurably improving application quality.
