The only criticism I have is the IDE needed a bit of polish in version 5.2 (this may have been fixed in the latest versions).

Recording tests with Squish IDE creates quite ugly code and it is very difficult to maintain tests that have been recorded.

The most complete way of testing is on several OS's, even platforms. Here, the solution provided by Squish, through several Python script files, could be simplified in such a way, so that even black box testers could manage it easily.

It still requires better solutions for object identification and an enhancement to identify all the objects of the AUT before building the object map.

It would make the work of the Squish user easier and quicker if Squish would display the proper feature names, when assigned.

There had been a lot of improvements with froglogic Squish already. There were some scenarios in which this particular solution was available in different flavors. They have pulled everything together in one solution. There were some monitoring systems, which were missing out from the solution earlier. They have a centralized dashboard for monitoring the test cases and their execution. It's a full-blown solution, there are not many glitches in terms of something missing out of the package.
