Squash TM review
A broad open-source test management suite, with paid pricing aimed at larger deployments.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Squash TM is a test management platform for QA teams coordinating manual, exploratory, BDD, and automated testing. Its shared repositories cover requirements, test cases, and Gherkin-based assets, while traceability connects requirements to tests. Teams can plan campaigns, track execution, manage exploratory testing sessions, collect automated results, and review dashboards, indicators, and customizable reports. It is available as a free Community edition, commercial Server editions, and hosted Cloud editions, with web, Windows, Linux, and self-hosted options.
The pricing structure makes the Community edition the main entry point. It is free and includes test asset management plus GitLab and Jira integrations. The Premium package starts at €2,000 per annual package, with the listed annual price excluding tax; Server pricing varies by declared users. The paid tier is therefore oriented toward organizations that need a commercial deployment and can justify a larger annual commitment, rather than teams seeking a low-cost per-user subscription. For open-source teams with substantial test operations, the free edition offers a practical way to organize a broad QA process before considering paid deployment.
Squash TM fits ecosystems built around Jira, GitLab, Mantis, Bugzilla, Azure DevOps, Redmine, or Tuleap. Automation and delivery workflows can connect through Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Cucumber, Robot Framework, Playwright, Cypress, JUnit/TestNG, and Postman/Newman, while the REST API supports asset updates and administration. That breadth suits teams managing requirements, test runs, reporting, and automated results in one system. Smaller teams focused mainly on lightweight test scheduling may find the scope and Premium price harder to justify; teams with varied testing methods and integration needs are the stronger match.
