Delivery SquashTM 13.0, AI-powered test case generation

SquashTM, new delivery 13.0

The delivery of SquashTM contains the following features:

  • AI-powered test case generation

  • Securing data with the admin recycle bin (Test cases Workspace)

  • Improved UX for Automated Test Retries

  • Feature removals

  • Deprecated features

The full list of new features and bug fixes is available SquashTM 13.0 release note.

AI-powered test case generation

Requires the SquashTM Ultimate offer.

AI-powered test case generation becomes a full-fledged feature

With version 13.0, AI-powered test case generation, available with the SquashTM Ultimate offering, moves out of experimental status to become a stable feature fully integrated into SquashTM.

This evolution comes with a clarified user experience for testers and a simplified, more flexible AI configuration on the administration side, while paving the way for future AI capabilities in SquashTM.

AI-powered test case generation: a controlled assistant for testers

From a requirement, the tester accesses a dedicated screen to generate test cases using AI.

They can adapt the proposed prompt, launch a generation, review the suggestions, and progressively select relevant test cases.

Each generation is independent, allowing users to compare multiple successive proposals while keeping a curated selection of validated test cases.

The selected cases are then saved in the repository and automatically linked to the requirement.

Generation remains assisted: no test case is created without explicit user validation, ensuring human control, quality, and traceability.

A simplified and future-ready AI configuration

SquashTM 13.0 streamlines AI server configuration for common use cases (OpenAI, Mistral, Anthropic, Google, etc.) and expands support for custom models.

Prompts are fully manageable, enabling organizations to tailor generation to their own testing practices and quality standards.

The new administrative architecture also lays the groundwork for integrating new AI usages in future versions of SquashTM.

Securing data with the admin recycle bin

Requires the SquashTM Premium offer.

SquashTM introduces an admin recycle bin, offering increased security against data loss:

  • Security & Governance: Only administrators or project managers can restore or permanently delete items.
  • Efficiency: A familiar interface allows both massive management (permanent deletion or restoration) and finer-grained while maintaining the original tree structure.

For now, limited to the objects of the Test cases Workspace, the admin recycle bin is a safety net to prevent any permanent physical deletion that is not allowed/unwanted at instance level.

Improved UX for Automated Test Retries

Requires the SquashTM Ultimate offer.

When running automated tests with the Retry feature, SquashTM now provides a clearer execution feedback thanks to a two-phase progress bar.

The first phase (in blue) corresponds to the initial execution, while the second (in green) indicates completed executions, after any retries of failed tests. This makes it easy to distinguish tests waiting to be retried from those that are fully completed, giving you better visibility and confidence while executions are running.

Feature removals

  • Request for strong confirmation before deletion

The configuration property “squash.control.deletion.threshold” has been removed in favor of a setting of the request for strong confirmation before deletion from the Administration workspace.

Deprecated features

The following features are deprecated and will be permanently removed from SquashTM in the versions or on the dates indicated:

  • SquashTM 14.0 (May 2026) Basic authentication for REST API will not be supported anymore.

  • SquashTM 15.0 (August 2026) Custom templates for campaign and iteration reports, created from a default template before Squash TM 11, contain tags that will no longer be supported. These tags will be removed.

Jira 9.X support will cease with the end of support for this version by Atlassian.

  • SquashTM 16.0 (November 2026) Legacy AI servers are replaced by AI servers simpler to configure and more versatile to use. They will be removed.

  • SquashTM 19.0 (August 2027) The support of Squash TF will end on summer 2027.

  • SquashTM 21.0 (February 2028) Starting with Squash TM 1.19 (released at the end of 2018), passwords are hashed using bcrypt instead of SHA-1, which has been found to be insecure. Users who have not changed their password since this upgrade need to either: change their password, or

log into SquashTM 13.0 or later (these versions will automatically overwrite the SHA-1 hash with the bcrypt one when logging in).

Otherwise, they will not be able to log into SquashTM 21.0 or later.
