Squash TM - Open Source Test Management

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview

Squash TM is an open source test and requirement management platform used by QA and test teams to manage requirements, write and organise test cases, plan and run test campaigns, and track execution and coverage from a single web application. This image delivers Squash TM fully installed and configured as a production application so you have a complete test management platform running within minutes of launch - no manual setup, no shared credentials, and full ownership of your test assets.

Why This Image Over DIY or Other Images

Unlike a manual install or a generic community image, this image ships production-hardened from the start. The application binds to loopback behind nginx, so the web interface is never exposed with a default login. Systemd manages the Squash TM service, PostgreSQL and nginx, restarting them on failure. A secure first-boot process generates a unique administrator password and a unique database password per instance, so there are no shared or default passwords to rotate. And 24/7 cloudimg support means you have engineers available for deployment, tuning and troubleshooting - something unsupported community images cannot offer.

Application Stack

• Squash TM running on the OpenJDK 21 JRE behind nginx on port 80
• PostgreSQL application database on loopback only
• Systemd service management with automatic restart on failure
• Secure first-boot credential generation unique to each instance

Test and Requirement Management

Manage requirements, author and organise test cases into folders and libraries, build test suites, plan and execute test campaigns and iterations, and track coverage between requirements and tests. Record execution results, follow progress with dashboards and reports, and connect Squash TM to your bug tracker and CI through its REST API and the bundled open source connectors.

Secure First Boot

On the first boot a one-shot service generates a fresh PostgreSQL role password and a fresh administrator password, both unique to that instance, before the public web interface is started. The shipped default admin login is rotated so it no longer works. The administrator password is written to a file only the root user can read. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.

Ready To Use

The Squash TM web interface is served on port 80 through nginx. Sign in with the generated administrator credentials to create projects, add requirements and test cases, plan campaigns and invite your team. The REST API is available on the same port for integration with CI pipelines and issue trackers.
