Squash TM: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Squash TM is a test management tool for designing, executing and tracking tests. It manages requirements, test cases, executions, issues, reports and milestones, supports BDD with Cucumber and Robot Framework, and integrates with Jira and GitLab. A companion orchestrator runs automated tests launched from the web application. Squash TM follows an open-core model: the core platform and a set of plugins form the free Community edition, which you download and install yourself, including via Docker. Premium and Ultimate editions add support and proprietary plugins, and a cloud version comes with the licensed editions.

Squash TM is published by Henix, based in Montrouge, France. The Community edition runs on your own infrastructure, with authentication through LDAP/AD, OpenID Connect or SAML, so data stays where you operate it. The website does not state where the cloud version is hosted, so that is worth confirming before choosing it. For a European organisation, self-hosting the open-source core is the most direct way to keep test data under its own control.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Squash TM

Squash TM is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Squash TM scores best on data residency.

Squash TM is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Squash TM together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
