Squash (was Squish) is a super-simple app for compressing your images for lower filesize! Don’t lose quality, or end up with grainy or horrible images. Squish maintains their existing resolution and quality, and just reduces the filesize! Whatever your reason, Squish is great for optimizing images for. The same rich set of features known from other Squish editions is now available for QA engineers dealing with Carbon and Cocoa applications on Apple’s Mac OS X system. “While the popularity of Mac OS X is constantly growing, test automation tools with dedicated support for its native GUI toolkits are still lacking. The Squish documentation uses the term widget when referring to GUI objects. MacOS developers may be more familiar with the term view for this concept. Mac Convenience Function Parameters; Some of the macOS convenience functions can take a modifierState argument which indicates which special keys are pressed at the time of a mouse click.
macOS has become much stricter from version 10.14 on about privacy-related APIs. Those include accessibility features and access to the microphone, camera or recording the screen itself.
Apart from the AUT itself Squish also needs some permissions during testing:
- Accessibility API for certain script functions, for example
nativeType() - “Screen Recording” for screenshots
Due to the way Squish launches the AUT process, all permissions that the AUT requires also need to be granted to Squish IDE. It may be sensible to have one test case that triggers all permission dialogs subsequently in the AUT. This test case can be executed manually on new build machines to grant permissions as needed.
Permissions given to the AUT outside of test runs do not apply during testing. Squish launches the AUT like a command-line application by directly running the executable inside the app bundle. Therefore all permissions required by the AUT need to be granted to Squish IDE, too, since it is the GUI process that launched the AUT.
Granting Permissions to an Application¶
The process to grant permissions isdocumented in Apple’s macOS user guide. This article talks about Camera access. Accessibility and Screen Recording can be granted the same way.
When a permission is requested for the first time by an application you will also see a dialog that explains what to do.
Resetting Permissions Given to an Application¶
Permissions given to a specific application can in some cases be revoked via the Privacy pane in macOS System Settings. Some permissions can only be revoked via the command line using tccutil:
Use the following commands to reset all permissions given to Squish IDE:
Note: The second command revokes permissions given to Squish IDE’s launcher bundle. This is not strictly necessary since in normal operation, only squish.ide.product will receive permissions after asking for it. If you granted permissions by manually adding an IDE app bundle to the Accessibility list for example, it may accidentally have been the IDE launcher though.

Squish Mac Os Catalina
Squish is the leading functional, cross-platform GUI and regression testing tool that can test applications based on a variety of GUI technologies, including Java SWT/Eclipse RCP, Java AWT/Swing, JavaFX, the Qt, QML and QtQuick GUI toolkits, Windows MFC, .NET WindowsForms and WPF, Mac OS X Carbon/Cocoa, iOS Cocoa Touch, Android and Web/HTML5/AJAX/Flex.
Squish stands out from other GUI testing tools by giving test engineers the freedom to record and write tests using familiar scripting languages such as JavaScript, Perl, Python, Tcl, and Ruby.
Furthermore, Squish provides extremely tight integration with the specific GUI technologies it supports. This gives testers unprecedented access to the internals of the applications they are testing (to data items, controls, widgets, etc.), and also leads to the production of very robust and stable GUI tests.
Squish and all the tests created with it, are completely cross-platform, and work on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, embedded Linux, iOS, Android and several RTOSes.
Squish is being successfully used in more than 3000 QA departments across the world in thousands of companies both large and small, including, for example, Airbus, ARM, American Power Conversion, Boeing, Daimler, Electronic Arts, EADS, Ericsson, France Telecom Group, General Electric, Intel, SAP, Siemens, Synopsys, Xilinx and several government organizations.
