AI-Powered UI Testing With Squish

Built-In Squish AI Assistant

Squish AI assistant is built directly into the Squish IDE. It helps you write test scripts, understand error messages, and fix failures, right where you're already working. No switching tools, no copy-pasting logs into a chat window. Watch the video below to see how Squish AI Assistant works.

Getting Started With Squish AI Assistant

If you don't have Squish yet, explore the Squish Tour and start your own trial with the Squish Evaluation.

Both the new and existing Squish users can download the free Squish AI Assistant Extension in Qt User Portal.

If you need help, visit our documentation on Downloading and Installing the Squish AI Assistant Extension.

More info on setting up the Squish AI Assistant with the LLM of your choice can be found in the Squish AI Assistant documentation.

AI-Powered GUI Test Script Generation 

If your team is already using Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, or similar tools, Squish MCP Server is for you. In the video below we'll show how the Squish MCP Server lets those tools write, run, and iterate on Squish test scripts, so AI-assisted testing fits naturally into the workflow you already have.

Getting Started With Squish MCP Server

To get a good idea of how to get started with test script generation, see the Squish MCP Demo.

The setup shown in the demo consists of the following:

• Qt Creator 19: Free download available here

• Satellite Info Demo App: An example Application provided with Qt Creator. For more information see Qt Creator Tutorial: Build & Run

• Squish 9.2: Existing users can download Squish 9.2 here. If you are new to Squish, get your fully-functional Trial Version here and get started right away.

• Squish MCP Repository: The exact setup like shown in the demo including generated requirements and generated snapshot test script can be found here. The general Squish MCP server repository can be found here.

Note! Squish MCP Server is still in technology preview, with further development still ongoing. This example gives only one view on what can be achieved through connecting AI code assistants with the GUI testing capabilities of Squish via MCP. 

Coming Soon: Squish Vision

A Brand-New Approach to GUI Testing Powered by Computer Vision

Many teams invest heavily in UI test automation — and then end up spending more time fixing tests than writing them. Squish Vision solves this problem by running UI tests visually rather than programmatically. This keeps tests stable even when the UI changes. That means less maintenance, faster releases, and a QA process that truly scales.
