froglogic Announces Eclipse Strategy
Upcoming Release of Squish 4.0
Mar. 10, 2008 02:15 PM
froglogic GmbH will announce its new Eclipse strategy.
froglogic is the vendor of the cross-platform automated GUI testing tool
Squish. Squish supports creating and running automated GUI tests of
applications based on a variety of user interface technologies including
Trolltech's Qt toolkit, Java AWT/Swing/NetBeans, Java SWT/Eclipse RCP/JFaces,
Web/HTML/AJAX and Mac OS X Carbon/Cocoa.
froglogic's upcoming Squish 4.0 release will bring many
improvements to the automated development and QA process.
One strategic move is to replace the current in-house
implementation of the graphical test development environment with an
Eclipse-based IDE that is completely re-designed and re-written from scratch.
The new Eclipse-based IDE will be deployed as a stand-alone RCP application as
well as a plugin for the Eclipse Workbench.
"After we joined the Eclipse Foundation in 2007, our
first move was to implement an integration of Squish into the Eclipse Test
& Performance Tools Project (TPTP). Now we go one step further by using
Eclipse as the primary IDE for Squish. This has two major advantages for our
users boosting their productivity: The very rich feature set of Eclipse is
available when working on Squish tests and integration of those tests into
existing Eclipse projects." said Reginald Stadlbauer, CEO and co-founder
of froglogic.
"We are excited to see froglogic's commitment to the
growing Eclipse community. We congratulate froglogic on their upcoming release
and welcome their commitment to embracing Eclipse as a platform for building
commercial software," said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the
Eclipse Foundation.
