Detailed Review
Squash TM is published by Henix, an independent French digital services company that, according to its own about page, develops and publishes the tool since 2011 and employs more than 350 people in software quality. It positions itself for banks, insurers, ministries and industry.
The site legal notice names Henix SAS, 1 rue François Ory, Montrouge, registered under RCS Nanterre 421 479 163. The Community edition is open source and free, and the vendor describes the model as open core.
Editions
The vendor sells Community (free), Premium and Ultimate on your own servers, and Cloud Premium and Cloud Ultimate hosted by Henix. Premium adds professional support, advanced reporting, proprietary bug tracker integrations, advanced Jira and GitLab integration, an administration API and IAM integration.
Ultimate adds AI-assisted test design, BDD action libraries and custom user profiles. Cloud Premium runs on French servers with technical administration handled by Henix.
Integrations
Squash TM connects to GitLab, Jira, Mantis, Azure DevOps, Redmine, Tuleap and Bugzilla. It supports manual, exploratory, BDD and automated test practices in a shared repository, and the vendor describes requirement-to-test traceability as a central use.
Pricing
Premium, Ultimate and Cloud prices are not on the web page; they sit in a downloadable price grid and a quote form. The commercial terms (CGV) are available as a PDF.
Limitations to Consider
The site is French-first, with an English toggle. Prices for paid editions are not shown on the web page. Advanced Jira and GitLab integration, reporting and support sit in the paid editions, and AI features need Ultimate. The open-core model means some plugins are proprietary.
