Case Study: Bio-Rad Laboratories achieves more reliable GUI testing with Qt Group’s Squish

Bio-Rad Laboratories creates 60 test cases and 10,000+ verification points with Qt Group

Bio-Rad Laboratories, a multinational manufacturer of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, faced a challenge in performing reliable and robust GUI testing for its software applications, Image Lab and ImageLab iOS. They required a solution with strong object introspection and support for standard scripting languages to replace their initial tool, QA Wizard Pro. The Qt Group's Squish automated testing suite was identified as a superior alternative to meet their needs.

The Qt Group's solution provided robust object introspection, support for JavaScript, and a reliable Object Map. This allowed Bio-Rad to create a comprehensive testing framework, resulting in over 60 test cases with more than 10,000 verification points. The implementation led to shorter testing cycles, increased test coverage, and improved reliability, which significantly contributed to enhanced application quality. Bio-Rad also integrated Squish with Jenkins for scheduling test executions and reporting.
